A Bastian Solutions Case Study
Conair, a leading manufacturer and distributor of health and beauty products and kitchen and electronic appliances, faced an aggressive implementation schedule to be ready for the holiday peak, shifting retail order profiles, rising order volumes, and growing labor needs. Bastian Solutions was selected to deliver a turn‑key order‑fulfillment system and warehouse automation at Conair’s distribution centers in New Jersey and Arizona, with the larger New Jersey facility highlighted for the project.
Bastian Solutions implemented a high‑speed full case fulfillment system—deep‑lane pallet‑flow picking, saw‑tooth and belt merges, a 350 fpm shoe sorter, parallel high‑speed print‑and‑apply labelers, extendable parcel conveyors, and control/HMI with label verification scanning. The solution met the Christmas rush and eliminated back orders, cut order‑fulfillment days in half, reduced handling and manpower (delivering clear ROI), virtually eliminated retail shipping penalties, and increased order accuracy.
