Hytrol Conveyor and Integration Partner Bastian Drive Monoprice Daily Order Volume Improvement
Jonesboro, AR, February 07, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Hytrol Conveyor Company, Inc., manufacturers of advanced conveyor systems, controls, and solutions and Integration Partner, Bastian Solutions worked together to achieve Monoprice business’s goals. To keep up with strong consumer demand, Monoprice needed an automated material handling system to help increase daily throughput from roughly 300 orders per hour up to 1,000 orders per hour. Monoprice was able to increase a throughput of 4,000 orders to nearly 14,000 orders per day.
Hytrol E24™ conveyor was part of the system, which was comprised of three floor-level pick modules with inline timing belt diverts. The diverts send cartons or totes to picking zones where operators pick via voice picking headsets. Bastian Solutions implemented its Exacta Warehouse Control System (WCS) to interface with Monoprice’s warehouse management system (WMS), providing intelligent automated order routing of cartons for picking throughout the system.
Hytrol works closely with Bastian Solutions as an integration partner and both organizations consider labor reduction when devising best-practice material handling solutions. Mitch Johnson, Hytrol’s Director of Systems Development noted, “Working with an integration partner like Bastian Solutions we can identify current labor categories and can design specific equipment to automate labor that was heretofore manual. Sometimes the best solution may actually include more equipment when considering labor as the equipment is a one-time cost.”
Monoprice, Inc. specializes in high-quality cables, components, and accessories for computer and consumer electronics. Currently, the vast majority of products sold are Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive compliant, reducing their environmental impact. Monoprice has been regularly named an Inc. 500 company.
