Casual apparel, accessories and footwear retailer Pacific Sunwear of California Inc. has installed an automated material handling system from Dematic
for the company's new distribution center located in Olathe, Kansas.
The integrated warehouse control system provides order fulfillment, material flow control, comprehensive incident management, maintenance management and advanced performance analysis capabilities. PacSun implemented the C-L series of motorized roller conveyors, the new FlexSort SL sorter, and a Put to Light order fulfillment system for a fully integrated, intuitive and intelligent order fulfilment system, all from a single source. Accessible via Dematic's web based portal from anywhere on PacSun network, it provides users with a view of all vital system information at one glance. The solution accommodates up to 93 packers simultaneously and supports PacSun's newest retail concept, 'One Thousand Steps', a fashion-forward footwear chain. The PacSun project showcases almost the entire Dematic product suite and draws particular attention to the value of the software portion of the solution.
"This software system brings all the components together into a synchronous solution that is raising the benchmark for a warehouse control system and sets the new standard for the industry," said Rob Bork, Dematic's vice president of Business Development and Sales. "We're very excited about working with PacSun as this site highlights a complete solution that includes the Dematic FlexSort SL sliding shoe sorter, C-L series conveyor, put to light picking, and the full complement of our system management software to manage all of it."
