Triumph International AG has appointed TGW Logistics to design and build a rack shelf picking area, as part of a major reorganisation and expansion of its existing logistics centre in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. 

The global manufacturer of lingerie and underwear currently operates a central warehouse at the location with a quality check and packing site connected to it. 

The existing two-storey centre includes five halls, which have been added over time and were built in different ways. 

Taking into account the challenges created by the present infrastructure, TGW will use 3.5 kilometres of TGW KingDrive® conveyor equipment to connect the existing carton warehouse to the new rack shelf picking area. Two warehouses will be used as 'Commissioner' sorting towers for order consolidation prior to packing. 

The new solution optimises the existing space, with the conveyors reducing walking times and TGW's ergonomically designed workstations ensuring the health of the employees and an optimal workflow.

The separation of picking and replenishment will also ensure earlier item availability and higher system flexibility. 

"Together with Triumph, we have created a solution that uses cutting edge technology to complement the existing installation and so complete the system," says Markus Augeneder, Managing Director at TGW Systems Integration.
