“Drones, flying cars? Not in my working career!”

Straight-talking Crown SDS Director, Steve Rushton, talks candidly about his views on the integration of autonomous technology within logistics and how the sector has and will continue to evolve during his career.

The landscape of the logistics sector has changed dramatically, since Rushton joined Express Tyres as a fresh-faced apprentice.

Whilst technology has been prominent throughout his career, the rapid growth of autonomous systems and the digital transformation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices has been significant in recent years.

Now responsible for operations, sales, revenue and profit at Crown SDS, in his role as Director and General Manager, he talks about the opportunities that have shaped his career and how the logistics industry has, and will, continue to evolve amid the rise in autonomous technology and digitalization.

“All this talk about the adoption of driverless transport, delivery drones and flying cars” Rushton starts, “is all valid”.

“But the technology is simply not there yet to make it scalable – and certainly won’t be within my working career”.

He doesn’t deny that there will be a multitude of technologies developed over the next decade, that will add significant value for the sector, but adds “the main role of technology and automation will be as a tool to help businesses to work smarter, better and provide far better data transparency, which will ultimately improver the customer experience.”

“The consumer trend of sameday delivery is coming into the forefront more than ever before – everything is getting faster. Decisions are becoming increasingly focused on speed and availability, over price. Whilst our focus at Crown SDS is about providing an agile service, even whilst operating at peak capacity, investing in technologies that enable us to rely more on automation has meant we’ve been able to increase the scale of our operation quickly, to meet spikes in demand.”

Commenting on the increased pressures of the current climate, Rushton adds “economic risk and inflation have put more demand on businesses to remain agile, in order to react to changes. This is something which has come further into the forefront since the beginning of the pandemic”.

“Businesses can react more quickly by becoming fitter & leaner. A key part of this transition will be through implementing technologies that improve efficiency”

“As a sustained level of inflation continues to drive up costs, it will also bring with it opportunities for individuals. As we remove wasteful practices from the supply chain, it paves the way to add value and offer fair reward for those individuals that bring value, by way of improving salaries or rates of pay for drivers – all of which are currently buckling under the current levels of inflation”

Asked if he has any advice for those just starting a career in the industry, Rushton responds: “With the dramatic rise in reliance upon technology of recent years, it can be easy to leave technology to do the work”.

“I would urge anyone – get out from the behind the desk and see for yourself what is going on”.

“Logistics touches everything and can cover a multitude of sins, but when things go wrong they can lead to chaos – it’s important to get up and go and see the problem or challenge first hand”.

“Genchi Genbutsu – go and see for yourself. It’s a philosophy I learned from the leaders that have shaped my career and is something that has stayed with me throughout”.

 

Wine packaging company increases on-site storage capacity

When it comes to impressive statistics and numbers, The Park is not short of these. The multi-award-winning manufacturing and blending plant in Avonmouth employs almost 400 people and produces 25 million 9-litre case equivalents of wine each year. The site is home to its 80,000 sq m wine warehouse and distribution centre, the largest of its kind in Europe; with six packaging lines it has the capacity to produce 1,200 bottles of wine every minute.

Even a company at the top of its game is not immune to certain external factors, of which there have been plenty in the last year or so. Recent problems with the supply chain and shipping also coincided with The Park enjoying a period of steady growth. This prompted the management to look at ways of increasing on-site storage for containers and ISO Tanks which are shipped mainly from Australia and New Zealand, but also from Chile, the USA and South Africa.

Integral to the optimum use of available space are two Combi-SC straddle carrier models from the Irish manufacturer Combilift, well known for devising innovative solutions for handling loads of all shapes, weights and dimensions. Freight Manager Bob Prescott and his team started evaluating various options in mid-2020 and concluded that the telescopic capabilities of the Combi-SCs would enable containers to be stored much closer together as well as double stacked for maximum density.

“The container handling equipment we have used for years can only lift one load at a time and their manoeuvrability is very limited,” said Prescott, “whereas the three-wheel Combi-SC can turn on its axis and access much tighter spaces.”

The own weight and axle loading of the Combi-SC models is much lighter than other types of heavy handling equipment such as reach trucks, enabling them to work on less than perfect ground conditions. Some concreting and general surface improvements were carried out in the yard, however, mainly to determine and mark out areas that could bear the weight of double-stacked containers. The potential for storing containers or ISO Tanks, each containing around 24,000 litres of wine, has now expanded from 166 bays to 250, representing a massive increase in capacity with no requirement to purchase or lease extra space.

Each Combi-SC that is built in the factory in Monaghan is tailor-made to customer specifications, and The Park’s 35t capacity telescopic double stacking models feature a fixed fully automatic attachment to handle 20ft ISO Tanks and containers, which can also lift 40ft containers via chains if required. Weighing systems with an accuracy of +/-2% were also fitted, as were 129° cameras front and rear to ensure when the load is raised the driver has 360° visibility from the cab

When wine is required for production the Combi-SCs take the containers to special offloading bays where they have a gradient of approx. 5 degrees so using gravity and pump assistance, contents can be transferred to holding tanks before the bottling process begins.

Richard Lloyd, General Manager, European Operations and Supply Chain comments: “The addition of the Combi-SC straddle carrier has enabled us to react to a dramatic decline in global shipping reliability and double our storage capability of wine, importantly within the same footprint. This change in capability is transformational for the site in meeting its customer demand on time.”

AUTO1 Group implements INFORM yard management system

Within just two weeks, Aachen-based optimisation specialist INFORM implemented its Vehicle Yard Management System in Hemau, at AUTO1 Group SE’s first own production centre in Germany. The system supports the operator of the online trading platforms with end-to-end transparency of the up to 16,000 vehicles at the site, more efficient processes and an increase in on-time delivery. A rollout of the solution to other AUTO1 Group production centres is also planned.

AUTO1 Group operates leading trading platforms for the online purchase and sale of used cars, namely wirkaufendeinauto.de and associated sister brands, Autohero, and AUTO1.com. More than 450,000 vehicles were sold through the company’s channels across Europe in 2020 alone. To meet strong customer demand and prepare for the continued rise in importance of the used car market, the company secured internal production capacity for 90,000 cars per year at full capacity.

The first in-house production centre for reconditioning used cars intended for the company’s proprietary Autohero platform began operations in September 2021 in Hemau, Bavaria, near Regensburg.

INFORM’s specialised planning and scheduling software is now being used to further optimise and increase the efficiency of internal processes at the 35,000 sq m site. “Full capacity utilisation, short lead times, flexibility and operational robustness are key for us,” said Karol Niznik, Vice President Logistics and Production at AUTO1. “INFORM’s yard management system is a powerful tool that helps us to achieve those goals.” The system was implemented at the site within just two weeks. This was made possible through close collaboration between AUTO1 and INFORM and the INFORMs system configurability which includes a built-in business process modelling tool. A roll-out to other sites in Europe is being planned.

By digitising internal vehicle logistics, the responsible dispatchers and planners are able to always track exactly where any particular vehicle is at any given time and when it will undergo which work step. This allows the dynamic process to become more efficient.

“Usually, vehicles have to be moved and parked several times inside a yard. This is where companies can leverage significant efficiency gains by means of an optimised operation,” said Hartmut Haubrich, Director Vehicle Logistics at INFORM. “Transparency is a cornerstone for cost savings and reducing turnaround times. One example is that vehicles can be parked in an optimal sequence close to a car wash or workshop.”

Mathematical algorithms based on operations research and artificial intelligence are among the distinctive features of INFORM’s system. They are able to calculate optimised scheduling sequences in real time, taking company-specific planning parameters into account, and automatically assign tasks to suitable resources. “As volumes increase, optimisation becomes ever more important for us. With INFORM’s yard management system we now have several options at hand to support us on our growth trajectory,” Karol Niznik added.

Rydale improves e-commerce efficiency

British clothing brand Rydale has expanded and improved its e-commerce offering thanks to the deployment of Despatch Cloud’s software technology.

Rydale is a brand that has moved to the forefront of the country clothing industry in recent years. It was a love for the great outdoors that drove the founder, John Nichols, to create this iconic brand, and the company prides itself on creating quality, reliable clothing that stands up against the unexpected weather and rugged terrain of the great British countryside.

Since its founding 68 years ago, as a small business creating items for local outdoor enthusiasts, Rydale has grown into an internationally recognised and established brand.

Alex Moore, e-commerce Manager at Rydale, speaks about the rise of the business: “Rydale is proud to be from Yorkshire. We couldn’t think of a better place to test and develop our clothing range. We’ve always been eager to grow the brand by attending events all over the country, but the rise of e-commerce presented an opportunity to expand our operation rapidly.

“However, just as for any traditional retailer, the birth of e-commerce also changed everything. We had to adapt to a whole new way of running a business and work out how to manage it, and that’s where Despatch Cloud came in.”

After an acquaintance suggested getting in touch, Moore and the team were immediately impressed with what Despatch Cloud had to offer, stating: “It was really great to speak to people who actually knew what operating a busy warehouse was like. We shared many qualities and we jumped at the chance to adopt their software.”

Full warehouse package

Rydale took on Despatch Cloud’s full Warehouse package, and the results were immediate. Moore  explains: “Many of our orders are for multiple items. For example, people will buy a shirt and jacket together. A lot of the time these items are racked on opposite ends of the warehouse, which makes picking a real chore, and time consuming. When the team at Despatch Cloud introduced us to the bulk and sort picking method, we couldn’t believe the difference it made.”

The toting functionality involves collecting all products allocated to a sale, and placing them in a pick bin. This is then taken to a sorting wall, where all the totes are assigned to orders, waiting to be filled.

Moore explains: “Each of our pickers could pick 12 orders at once with our previous system. So on a day where we had, let’s say, 144 orders, that meant either we used 12 members of staff to pick, or a picker walked around the warehouse 12 times. Bulk and sort was a revelation. It now only takes one picker to collect all 144 orders. Our warehouse efficiency went through the roof and the number of orders we could fulfil increased tenfold.”

It wasn’t just the new picking method that improved the fulfilment process, Despatch Cloud’s end-to-end barcode verification software was another feature that seemed tailor-made for Rydale’s needs. Moore elaborates: “When selling clothing, many products are similar. For example, you may have a royal blue shirt next to a navy shirt. It’s easy for a picker to collect the wrong one, but it can be really damaging to customer relationships when they do. Since adopting a triple barcode checking system, every item is scanned at the point of picking, when it is being sorted, and when it is being packed. Our rate of human error in picking is now less than 0.001%.”

This wasn’t just beneficial for eliminating errors: “This system made finding products in the warehouse simpler. All we now have to do is search on the system and we can see if an order has been picked, if it’s waiting to be sorted, or if it’s already been packed. It’s made life so much easier and means we can respond to customers quickly in relation to queries regarding their purchase, which is always a positive.”

Another customer-based benefit was Despatch Cloud’s integrated helpdesk solution. The system is linked to the warehouse management software, which means orders and customer correspondence can be linked. Moore comments: “We found our former system wasn’t optimal for us, so when Despatch Cloud showcased their software, we jumped at the chance to adopt it. Having the order linking technology means that if a customer gets in touch via email, they will be automatically linked to their order, and their full order history. This saves us a lot of time, and the positive customer reaction to our quick responses has been a real pleasure to see.”

Returns system

Another feature that has proved invaluable for Rydale is the Despatch Cloud Returns System. Moore speaks about the way the returns portal has helped Rydale: “It used to be a huge operation to get returns processed and back into stock. We did it the traditional way of placing returns together and then gradually returning them to their shelves, which could take days.

“With the new system, all that has changed. We now have 100 small bins near our returns area, into which we put any returned parcels. These returns are processed and stay in the bins where they can be picked for orders. Basically, if they pass quality control they are immediately placed back into the system.

“We prioritise picking from these bins, which saves the time and effort of returning items to their warehouse inventory location before they are picked for a new order. We call it direct-to-pick. As orders come in for items in the return bins, that product is taken out, and the bin is empty again. It’s working well for us so far and has really sped up not just our returns, but our entire order processing.”

The expansion of e-commerce shows no signs of slowing down, and it’s now more important than ever that businesses retail their products across multiple sales channels. This comes with some difficulty though, as Rydale experienced. Moore states: “Our previous system wasn’t the best for handling stock across multiple channels. We had to manually split our stock, so we would assign 50 products to one channel, 50 to another, and we had to constantly check them to make sure we had enough. This was a nightmare. Big sales events are important to us and often result in high order volumes. Trying to juggle our stock when it was selling quickly across different channels was getting tricky and we were always running the risk of overselling.”

Moore describes how Despatch Cloud helped solve this issue: “The whole team was blown away at the speed of stock updates with Despatch Cloud. We organised big sales events with huge reductions on items that meant our stock levels were in a constant state of flux, and the Despatch Cloud technology handled it with ease. The feeling of having a system you trust can’t be understated. It allows us the freedom to launch sales and promotional events without a nagging fear at the back of our minds of overselling. It’s provided us with the freedom to grow, knowing we have a system to back us up.”

Matthew Dunne, founder and CTO of Despatch Cloud, speaks fondly of his relationship with the team at Rydale, saying: “It has been a pleasure working with Rydale. To see another business from our region making such huge progress in their industry is really positive. From the start, the team at Despatch Cloud has enjoyed seeing how our technology has improved their logistic operations and we look forward to seeing what the future holds.”

Rydale continues to expand its collections of country clothing, footwear, gifts and accessories and reach new customers. Still working with Despatch Cloud, the future certainly looks bright for this British country clothing brand.
