A
new distribution centre for Marks & Spencer, which is due to go live in
Spring 2016, will feature a high level of
automation for goods-in, decanting, storage, picking and dispatch. KNAPP’s OSR ShuttleTM technology will form the heart of the
intralogistics systems. This automated storage and retrieval system, which
features transport shuttles on every level of the store, will serve KNAPP’s
ergonomically designed Pick-it-Easy workstations.
“We
are absolutely delighted to have been selected by M&S for this
contract,” said Craig Rollason, Managing Director of KNAPP UK Ltd.
“The new facility in Bradford will feature state-of-the-art warehousing
technology and we very much hope that this project will be the start of a long
and mutually beneficial partnership with M&S.”
The
contract also includes the provision of a team of resident KNAPP engineers on
site at the DC to ensure system availability through comprehensive preventative
maintenance routines and immediate response to any issues.
