National Retailer CASE STUDY

Before

Our client contracted Hy-Tek Integration, with consulting support from the JSC division, to support the implementation of a new highly automated fulfillment center with a 2021 commissioning.  This facility utilizes an Autostore automated storage and retrieval solution to supplement a high velocity and case pick operation.  In addition, the system utilizes a put-to-light system to aggregate orders arriving from the various upstream functional areas with delivery via a high-speed routing system.
