This distribution center houses an Interroll crossbelt sorter, performing sorting task up to 3,800 items per hour. The Participants were accompanied by their Visiting Professor - Prof. Lothar Schulze, Professor and Head of the Department of Planning and Controlling of Warehouse and Transport Systems (PSLT), Leibniz Universitat Hannover, Germany.
The visit commenced with an introduction and video presentation in S.P. Jain campus by Mr. Seng Kwang Heng, Managing Director Interroll (Asia), followed by an interaction over lunch session with the Participants. Participants were very keen to know about the importance of Material Handling Equipments and how Interroll helps their end customers about the return on investments on such technology. What are the different service parameters and wide application areas? The interaction was filled with many interesting questions / topics. After lunch, it was time to materialize all of the theoretical knowledge and to have a practical presentation of the capabilities of Interroll crossbelt sorter. A short trip to one of the distribution center was presented to the Participant
. The Participants were impressed with the systems and realized how a suitable technology placed on the right place can improve the overall efficiency and productivity.
