Case Study: Besli Supports Growth with Smart ASRS Solutions from Kardex Remstar

Besli has integrated three Kardex Compact Buffer Modules and four Kardex Shuttles with Kardex Power Pick System inventory management into their distribution center for a 30% reduction in search times and a 50% efficiency increase.

Besli is a family owned Dutch electronics wholesaler providing a wide range of electrical products and materials to the electrical engineering market for over 40 years. With a focus on customer service, Besli inventories over 100,000+ items and processes customer orders within 24 hours thanks to their two logistics distribution centers.

With a rapidly expanding market, Besli was faced with a surge in their inventory at their Heteren distribution center—both in quantity and variety. Besli turned to Kardex Remstar for a solution to handle increased volume and maintain the quick delivery that sets them apart in the industry.

Refusing to be hampered by the inevitable strain growing inventory demands would place on their warehouse logistics, Besli created a new and modern warehouse using ASRS technologies from Kardex Remstar.

The solution

The new warehouse solution consists of three Kardex Compact Buffer Modules and four Kardex Shuttles – all integrated with Kardex Power Pick System inventory management, batch pick flow rack and put-to-light systems. The integrated solution maintains medium/high picking performance for uniquely sized items and bins.

The solution has not only provided considerable space savings, but also reduced product search times by 30%. In addition, order processing as a whole has become 50% more efficient due to shorter walking distances and enhanced operator performance.
