Ecs helps optimise logistics for gsk
November 1st 2011

European Conveyor Systems (ECS) has completed a contract for 34 custom-built work-benches, a powered conveyor, check-weigh scales, a vacuum-assisted lifting device and eight trolleys as part of a major warehouse investment to support research and development at pharmaceutical giant, GlaxoSmithKline.

ECS was awarded the contract for the packing area, where orders for investigational drugs are picked from high-volume carousels, taken to the workbenches and packed for shipment. A powered conveyor beside the packing benches moves the sealed packages to the despatch area, where scales integrated into the despatch end of the conveyor allow operators to check the weight of each item.

If less than 15kg, it is lifted manually on to a pallet or into a roll cage. If over 15kg, the vacuum lift unit is used.
