TESCOMA automated conveyor/shipping line – Kardex system operator

We have supplied an automated conveyor/expediting line for Tescoma, a major Czech manufacturer and our long-standing valued customer.

Tescoma decided for a complete change of their internal logistics and chose our company TMT as the main manufacturer and supplier of the conveyor system and Kardex as the supplier of automated storage systems for their projects.

It involves operating 14 Kardex Miniload-in-a-Box Storage Systems that pick goods faster and more accurately and save storage space.

• 7 picking stations with a total capacity of 2,000 items/1 hour.
• Efficient picking from 2 machines to 4 orders simultaneously with an average operating time of 10 sec/1item.
• The equipment is used for storing larger items with the possibility of picking both single and group packs.
• Implementation of the system in SAP environment.

The project consists of the following parts

A) Filling Kardex / INPUT

• vertical lift for transporting full crates from the ground floor to the first floor
• roller conveyors and transfer conveyors to bring full crates to the Kardex system and to take empty crates to the filling point
• vertical lift for transporting empty crates from the first floor to the ground floor

B) Buffer

• buffer for 800 empty crates in stacks of 10
• two destackers for empty crates included in the series
• 7 picking stations including a conveyor for empty crate feeding

C) B2C order processing

• sorting line
• outfeed conveyor line for B2C shipments
• transport of KLT boxes to packing stations
• Kardex transport of empty KLT boxes towards the Kardex system
• transport of packed consignments for dispatch and sorting to distribution routes

Basic technical parameters

Transported goods:

• plastic KLT, INTEGRA boxes
• weight of a full box – 25 kg

Capacity:

• Kardex filling (lifts): 300 KLT boxes/hour
• B2C shipments: 600 KLT boxes/hour
• B2B – shipping: 100 KLT boxes/hour
• Picking station: 700 KLT boxes/hour

What was achieved

• Increase the proportion of automated goods-to-human processes from 20% to 75%.
• Increase overall internal logistics performance by 40%.
• Increase picking accuracy and reduce the number of operators.
