Fast Shipping Enhances Customer Satisfaction
A company's Outgoing Goods and Shipping department is the last process step before the final delivery. It is also an important interface between internal and external materials management. The goods must be made available in the outbound area, the packaging and picking quality, as well as the corresponding documents must be finally examined, recorded and the dispatch must be prepared. In each company, the finished packages must pass through different stations before they can be prepared for shipping and loaded.
GEBHARDT ensures premium outgoing goods solutions for your individual requirements, be it with a consolidation function or with the integration of sorting or sequencing functions. Whether you require it a manual or an automatic solution. Our objective is to shorten throughput times and make the best use of space.
The outgoing goods process can significantly vary from warehouse to warehouse. This primarily depends on the spatial conditions, the picking technologies, the stored goods and their characteristics such as quantity, weight and volume.
Products and Solutions for Outgoing Goods and Shipping
Conveyor Systems
Our conveyor systems, whether for cartons and containers or for large load carriers, ensure the smooth transport of packaged goods which are ready for transport. The conveyor system is the connecting element in the Outgoing Goods department. It is also used for buffering and preparation before handover to the freight forwarder or shipping service provider.
Sorting Systems
Our sorting systems allow up to 16,000 packages to be sorted per hour, enabling efficient and cost-saving transfer of the goods to the package service provider. Whether using the cross-belt or multi-belt principle or classic conveyor technology, efficiency in the Outgoing Goods process increases substantially.
Automated Guided Vehicles
Our KARIS® vehicles enable overhead transport of small parts up to large load carriers. Sequence-controlled delivery or the filling of buffer and gravity conveyors round off the possibilities. The vehicles, which navigate freely, are equipped with the latest navigation and safety technology.
Telescopic Belt Conveyors
GEBHARDT ConBoom® telescopic belt conveyors extend the automated conveyor line into the truck loading space. This makes them "the first and last metre" of the internal warehouse control system. The ramp employees can concentrate on two tasks: The extension or retraction of the GEBHARDT ConBoom® telescopic belt conveyor at the push of a button into the correct position and the placement of the unit load. This substantially improves ergonomics and safety.
GEBHARDT StoreWare Software
Our GEBHARDT StoreWare software package also optimises the shipping process. This makes it possible, for example, to control the utilisation of resources or the occupancy of shipping routes and gates. Comprehensive interfaces to specialised shipping or customs software ensure smooth processes.
GEBHARDT Aligns INTERSPORT Logistics Centre with New Market and Sales Requirements
INTERSPORT is the number one company in sports retail and supplies more than 1,000 retailers worldwide. The company is using an omnichannel platform to supply its product range with ever-growing success. A shortage of storage space and outdated software made it necessary to upgrade the Incoming Goods department. Solutions supplied by GEBHARDT now make it possible to check in more than 2,000 containers per hour at the Incoming Goods department and to store and retrieve around 1,800 containers per hour. You can see how this was implemented in detail in the reference video.
