Airwair steps forward with ASG SilverBackTMlabelling warehouse location solution
BackgroundAirwair International – or, as you may know them, Dr. Martens – is a British footwear brand, whichalso makes a range of accessories from shoe care products to clothing.
Dr. Martens’ continuing success saw the recent opening of a new 104,000 sq ft distribution centrein Raunds, Northamptonshire.
ProblemA sophisticated labelling and barcoding system was therefore required to ensure quick handlingand sourcing of stock within the new warehouse.
The barcoding within the warehouse is vital to the productivity of Airwair’s operation, and anineffective labelling system would prevent efficient stock sourcing.
SolutionFollowing an initial assessment, ASG’s SilverBackTM labelling solution was installed and completedin 10 weeks. It was provided through an understanding of how the warehouse physically operates,giving Airwair a system that worked in the most efficient way possible.
“We supplied a whole range of different SilverBackTM labels within the system,” said RussellBobin, UK sales manager for ASG Services, “These included upper beam labels, shelf pickindicators, and aisle markers that all worked well in different parts of the warehouse.”
Also included on all of the Airwair aisle markers was the Airwair logo applied using a specialist UV printing process, which gave a more corporate finishing touch to the labels. (Continued over)
OutcomeOverall, the new SilverBackTM labelling and barcoding system has been a resounding success.
“We definitely feel like we’ve already seen the benefits of the new system, and the labelling andcolour identification combined with the shelving layout has made working in the warehouse muchmore efficient. It’s helped to streamline the location process and not over-complicate things,”said Mark Ashton, Warehouse Manager at Airwair. “We’d certainly recommend ASG and itsproducts to other companies.”
As Russell concluded: “It wasn’t a price-driven project for Airwair, and certainly there werecheaper systems out there, but they felt quite rightly that if you pay a bit more then you get abetter quality.”
The ASG barcoding solution will now allow Airwair to step forward to working efficiently in itsnew warehouse.
