Giffels was retained by Volkswagen Canada to design and mechanize a partially automated national distribution centre for storing 55,000 parts. This project began with a project definition and conceptual design, followed by the design of each material handling and storage system. Giffels prepared the detailed specifications, called tenders and issued contracts to the successful bidders for each system. Included were two carousel systems controlled by local PC's and tied to a “server” computer. The conveyor system was integrated with the carousel operations as well as the pick-to-belt high velocity zone and high-bay shelving served by wire-guided order pickers.
