CHALLENGE

To meet the material handling demands of the new world headquarters, Mantissa implemented a state-of-the-art carton and tote conveyor system.

SOLUTION

The conveyor system features a two level pick module takeaway conveyor that feeds through a scanner and induction conveyor onto a high speed two sided sliding shoe packing sorter with 41 sorter lanes. The sorter lanes are skate wheel gravity conveyor featuring controlled flow stop and release mechanisms. Through pneumatic switches, the operator can release individual totes that automatically turn 90 degrees onto a takeaway conveyor for orderly presentation to the packing area. The operators perform the packing function and send the product on a takeaway conveyor through an automatic taper, scale and scanner system to the shipping area.

The shipping area consists of a metering and scanning area feeding a pop-up wheel sorter that diverts product to 1 of 5 chute locations.

Mantissa's proprietary PC based Destination™ control system was utilized to control the conveyor system. Destination gives the customer user-friendly operator and maintenance diagnostic screens.

With this system, Mantissa was able to successfully meet InterNET's high standards of function, aesthetics and professionalism to create a world-class Distribution Center.
