Honeywell to help The Apparel Logistics Group expand e-commerce shipping

September 6, 2019 -- Honeywell announced that it has signed an agreement with retail supply chain services provider The Apparel Logistics Group to help the company expand the e-commerce order output at its distribution center in Dallas.
Under the agreement, Honeywell Intelligrated will deliver automated material handling solutions to The Apparel Logistics Group, a provider of third-party logistics and order fulfillment services for apparel, footwear and accessories. Honeywell Intelligrated’s technology and technical support services will help the logistics provider expand its e-commerce parcel shipping capability, which includes returned merchandise management and product customization.
These material handling solutions and services will hopefully enable The Apparel Logistics Group to more than triple its daily e-commerce order output.
Located in Dallas to support fast shipping throughout the U.S., the 240,000-square-foot facility features an array of dedicated automation solutions including a high-volume sortation system and more than five miles of controlled conveyors.
Honeywell Intelligrated will install new material handling solutions to move products through at The Apparel Logistics Group’s distribution center, which provides retailers with a one-day turnaround on e-commerce orders.
In addition, Honeywell Intelligrated will implement and support the facility’s warehouse control system, which operates the production activities and equipment. This provides The Apparel Logistics Group with direct support from Honeywell Intelligrated’s technical services center and 24/7 access to maintenance technicians.
Large retail brands and online-only retailers in the U.S. and Canada turn to The Apparel Logistics Group for warehousing, multi-channel order fulfillment and Foreign Trade Zone services to deliver products to distribution centers, stores or directly to individual consumers’ homes.
Honeywell Intelligrated is a provider of automation solutions for distribution and fulfillment applications with decades of experience helping 3PLs achieve productivity and efficiency by transitioning from manual to automated processes.
