Radians installs automated fulfillment system
Radians Inc., a manufacturer of safety glasses, announced that it has made a significant capital investment in warehouse automation at its Memphis, Tenn., headquarters.
The new order fulfillment system, or pick module, from Integrated Solutions will be fully operational this month. Once completed, the automated system will become the central hub of the company's warehouse operations, expediting the pick and ship process.
“Our recent investment in automation is Radians’ largest equipment purchase in the company’s history. The new system will improve the speed and accuracy of order fulfillment, which always leads to higher levels of customer service and satisfaction,” said company president, Bill England.
The automated system uses PathGuide software, which provides real-time control to get instant information about warehouse material movement and inventory status. This will enhance Radians’ ability to expedite same-day orders more efficiently and will also reduce errors in shortages and overages to one in 5,000, the company said.
“We are excited how our capital investment in automation will improve order accuracy, lower fulfillment costs, and expedite the order-fulfillment process. All of these capabilities result in making Radians a better supply chain partner to our customers,” said Bobbie Espitia, director of Supply Chain Management.
