National Automotive Aftermarket Cooperative Builds New Distribution Center to Improve Operations

The Challenge:

The client’s facility was full. After years of adding onto pick modules and filling corners, there was simply no more room. Facing huge expected growth, the client decided to build a new building. Observing the current system, Siggins was given several challenges: reduce fork truck traffic, improve worker safety, double the current storage space, improve efficiency, allow for future growth, and increase productivity.

The customer wanted a modern and efficient system and they expected Siggins to deliver.


The Solution:

Siggins, teaming with the customer, designed a new distribution center to accommodate all needs. The design incorporated pallet pick, carton-flow, and shelving pick modules to meet current needs and future demand. Consolidated picking and powered conveyor to shipping improved picking efficiency, and improved safety.

Automatic sortation conveyors dramatically improved shipping capabilities while guardrails protect the employees and equipment. The result: one happy customer.
