Case Study: Pacific Brands achieves higher throughput with Dematic distribution center solutions

Consolidating Operations Makes New DC a Comfy Fit for Pacific Brands

Pacific Brands, a leading Australian clothing, footwear, and homewares distributor, faced the challenge of managing significant growth and preparing for omni-channel retail by consolidating multiple distribution operations. Seeking a flexible and scalable solution for their new facility, they appointed vendor Dematic to design the DC's infrastructure and implement advanced order fulfillment technologies.

Dematic implemented an integrated solution featuring voice-directed picking and a sophisticated conveyor system, managed by its Dematic iQ software. This resulted in a highly efficient operation, with the DC eventually achieving a throughput of 142,000 handling units in a single day, which was three times its output from just three months prior.
