We are in the digital era, characterized by an accelerated pace of consumption and the consolidation of online commerce. An era that requires the <\/span>textile and fashion industry to <\/span><\/b>respond quickly to changing market demands, manage stock with great precision, reduce costs and master, in an agile and error-free way, high-performance picking.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The key?<\/span><\/b> Implementing automated logistics solutions that allow garments to be quickly and efficiently sorted, counted, stored and transported on hangers, rather than folded and packed into boxes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This automation of hanging garment logistics not only reduces dependence on manual labor and avoids human error, it is crucial for optimizing storage space, speeding up searches and facilitating the traceability of garments. This <\/span>increases the <\/span><\/b>company’<\/span>s competitive capacity <\/span><\/b>and enables it to maintain, or even increase, its market share.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In this post we explore <\/span>several solutions that make it possible to automate the logistics of hanging garments<\/span><\/b>, such as the aerial sorter and the counter for garments hung on hangers. These are systems that make it possible to supply large stores and distribution centers for e-commerce.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

5 Key solutions in the automation of hanging garment logistics<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>

Within the textile and fashion industry, the process of storing, picking and transporting hanging garments seeks to preserve the quality of textile products and guarantee their perfect presentation to consumers, free of wrinkles and deformations. This also represents a cost and time saving for companies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Basically, in the distribution center, garments are <\/span>received <\/span><\/b>with hangers, hung on units with steel bars and stored on special racks, which protect the garments from damage and facilitate efficient organization.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For <\/span>picking<\/span><\/b>, the recovery, sorting and counting of garments hung on hangers (which must be shipped in batches) is done automatically, by conveyors, stacker cranes, hanger counters, etc. Finally, it is usual to use containers for hanging garments or special pallets for transport.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It is possible to manage this automated storage and picking through a <\/span>comprehensive intralogistics solution<\/span><\/b>, including stand-alone systems capable of receiving, internal transport, storage, sorting, counting, picking and preparing hanging items for shipment. In addition to the incorporation of RFID tags, to ensure complete traceability of the goods.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Some of the automated systems for managing the storage and preparation of hanging garments are as follows:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

1 Air conveyor system<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>

This solution is responsible for <\/span>sorting <\/span><\/b>the hanging garments and <\/span>moving them <\/span><\/b>(horizontally or vertically) in batches to the dispatch areas and then <\/span>loading them <\/span><\/b>onto the trucks. It also allows intermediate storage of the goods.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It is usually used to transport coats, dresses, shirts, suits… hanging. But it can also be used to transport in bags some light accessories, such as hats and shoes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It uses a <\/span>rail system <\/span><\/b>installed on the ceiling, by means of an elevated structure, through which the trolleys (trolley) that hold the hangers circulate.\u00a0 Although there are several types of overhead conveyors, some work without a trolley, others with a clip system.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
