Toy retailer Smyths Toys which trades from over 100 UK stores and sells online has adopted Sparck Technologies’ advanced right-size ato-boxing systems to speed throughput for its eCommerce order fulfilment.
This latest introduction forms part of a major investment into advanced automation at the retailer’s Corby fulfilment centre which is aimed at increasing capacity and improving sustainability. The move will see over 70 per cent of orders packed automatically by Sparck’s CVP machines.
Stephen Kearney, warehouse manager, Smyths Toys said: “We believe in automation and have invested in advanced technologies where we can see it will bring significant results. We needed to increase throughput for our fast-growing online business and the most obvious means of achieving the performance required, particularly for peak, was to leverage the speed and efficiency of right-size packaging technology.
“We could also see how fit to size packaging would help us further improve our position on sustainability through optimising package size and removing the need for void fill.”
