Jasco Expands Fulfillment Through Collaboration With TGW Logistics

When incoming trucks are manually unloaded in the receiving area, cases are transported into the sorting loop via a network of conveyors. Employees manually stack the cases onto single SKU pallets, which are stored in the high-bay warehouse until they replenish the shuttle.

Three SlotStax semi-automated palletizing workstations help streamline Jasco’s full-case wholesale and retail orders. At these stations, a palletizing robot helps automatically build, stretch-wrap, and label pallets for shipping. Workstations are at waist height, so operators don’t have to repeatedly bend and lift cases.

To solve for more efficient split-case picking of Jasco’s wholesale, retail, and direct consumer orders, Flash Pick was incorporated. This smart goods-to-person setup includes four aisles powered by our Stingray shuttle system, which stores products and transports them to PickCenter One workstations. These workstations are ergonomically designed to eliminate walking during the picking process, improving speed and order accuracy. Once picked, order totes continue to the packing area, where items are transferred into larger conveyable cartons, sealed, and labeled for tracking.  

TGW Logistics’ warehouse management software WERX helps Jasco oversee and optimize its fulfillment process. It also allows for real-time communication with the entire system. The software automatically converts source totes into order totes based on requirements and facilitates orders composed of over eighty lines.

Jasco’s expansion is backed by a five-year, full-service contract. TGW Logistics’ Lifetime Services specialists will be on site to ensure the highly automated system’s 98% performance guarantee.
