CSL provide IronmongeryDirect with Order Picking Automation

IronmongeryDirect, a supplier of architectural ironmongery for over 40 years, appointed Conveyor Systems Ltd (CSL) to install an automated handling system in their new Basildon Distribution Centre. With over 13,500 products in stock and next-day delivery to tradesmen across the UK, the company sought to enhance handling efficiency to maintain their high customer service standards.

CSL was chosen for their innovative ideas and successful track record. The system includes a 6m spiral elevator, replacing an inclined belt conveyor, to move products between floors efficiently. Orders are picked from mezzanine storage and conveyed down to ground-level shelving, then consolidated and packed for dispatch.

Alan Josiah, Head of Service Delivery at IronmongeryDirect, praised CSL for their attention to detail and timely, budget-conscious delivery. He expressed confidence in CSL’s solutions and noted that they would gladly work with them again in the future.
