There's a material handling solution for every type of material, including clothing. The garment on hanger (GOH) system, offers an economical, labor-saving solution for the garment industry.
Most people will recognize a basic GOH system from visits to their local dry cleaner. The basic composition of a GOH system is an overhead rail combined with a motorized chain drive with hooks for garments. Some also feature a screw conveyor. This system takes advantage or vertical spaces, saving valuable floor space for other uses.
Like most conveyor systems, GOH systems are highly configurable for various applications. The most basic is one like that used in a small dry cleaning business. The system transports garments from the dry cleaning area to the service desk for delivery to customers.
More elaborate GOH systems incorporate computer controls and various other features commonly found in conveying systems. These include features like sorting, sequencing, variable speed controls and easy transfer from storage to ship-to destinations like delivery trucks and containers. GOH systems allow companies to keep garments ready for display by carefully spacing items so each arrives without the need for further attention.
GOH systems tend to fall into three categories:
1. Mult-function
2. Static storage
3. Dynamic storage
Static storage is a basic system with storage rails that allows for a straightforward approach to managing stock. Dynamic storage adds cross-docking capabilities with the garments moving along trolleys. These are frequently used in high-volume operations. A multi-function GOH adds picking and/or sorting capabilities for better visibility and access to products.
High-quality GOH systems help companies avoid added costs in several ways:
Reduced handling costs, improved efficiency, better accuracy of orders, and display-ready clothing are all great reasons to invest in a GOH system.
Every warehouse is a puzzle just waiting for a fast and efficient solution. Products need to go from trucks to storage, then storage to picking, eventually finding their way to their final destination. Time is money. There is, undoubtedly, a cost for every insufficient storage solution, every misplaced item, and every extra step a worker …
by John Geddes Wire decking is a critical element of any pallet racking system. The cross-hatch wire mesh provides the support needed to store loads reliably while allowing light and air transfer, a benefit for various storage applications. But not all wire decking is created equal. Not only can build quality vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but there …
by John Geddes Powering today’s modern supply chains is a complex and varied system of warehouses. No longer just an “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” operation, warehouses serve as the backbone of modern commerce, logistics and, truthfully, the health of virtually every industry. They act as strategic hubs, storing inventory, managing goods, sorting products and distributing them to their next destination. …
