CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that it
has signed an agreement with retail supply chain services provider
The Apparel Logistics Group to help the company expand the
e-commerce order output at its distribution center in
Dallas.
Under the agreement, Honeywell Intelligrated will deliver
automated material handling solutions to The Apparel Logistics
Group, a leading provider of third-party logistics and order
fulfillment services for apparel, footwear and accessories.
Honeywell Intelligrated's technology and technical support services
will help the logistics provider expand its e-commerce parcel
shipping capability, increase productivity at the shipping dock,
ensure order accuracy and expand its value-added
services capacity, which includes returned merchandise
management and product customization.
These material handling solutions and services will enable The
Apparel Logistics Group to more than triple its daily e-commerce
order output.
"The third-party logistics (3PL) sector is experiencing
unprecedented growth as more retailers require cost-effective order
management, reverse logistics and product customization services,"
said Pieter Krynauw, president, Honeywell Intelligrated. "In turn,
3PLs need to deploy automation solutions to help them ensure
quality control, reduce risks associated with labor availability
and deliver on their service-level agreements."
Located in Dallas to support
fast shipping throughout the U.S., the 240,000-square-foot facility
features an array of dedicated automation solutions including a
high-volume sortation system and more than five miles of controlled
conveyors.
"To keep pace with growing consumer expectations, both
traditional retailers and online-only e-tailers need to outsource
their order fulfillment, returned merchandise management and
product customization. In addition, available warehouse space in
North America is at an all-time
low," said Aric Schwab, Senior Vice
President, The Apparel Logistics Group. "With these new facility
enhancements, we're able to offer our customers increased volume,
faster shipping and more value-added services."
Honeywell Intelligrated will install new material handling
solutions to more efficiently move products through at The Apparel
Logistics Group's distribution center, which provides retailers
with a one-day turnaround on e-commerce orders.
In addition, Honeywell Intelligrated will implement and support
the facility's warehouse control system, which operates the
production activities and equipment. This provides The Apparel
Logistics Group with direct support from Honeywell Intelligrated's
world-class technical services center and 24/7 access to
maintenance technicians to maximize facility uptime.
Large retail brands and online-only retailers in the U.S. and
Canada turn to The Apparel
Logistics Group for warehousing, multi-channel order fulfillment
and Foreign Trade Zone services to deliver products to distribution
centers, stores or directly to individual consumers' homes.
Honeywell Intelligrated is a leading provider of automation
solutions for distribution and fulfillment applications with
decades of experience helping 3PLs achieve maximum productivity and
efficiency by transitioning from manual to automated
processes.

multi-channel fulfillment and supply-chain services to clients
