Innovative collaboration
Turning to the benefits of automation , Tony explains : “ From a productivity perspective , automation provides greater storage density , increased performance , better visibility , and enhanced reliability . It also enhances the role of warehouse operatives , as a traditional system requires pickers to push heavy trollies around static shelving . However , an automated goods-to-person system delivers required stock to the picker at a static , ergonomically designed picking station , making the process much less physically demanding .
“ We ’ ve recently completed a project with a leading retail company ’ s vastly
experienced and knowledgeable automation team , who have developed their ways of working over many years . It was a challenging task in terms of timescale , with the added complexity of it

With constant evolutions in the realm of technology , Logistex strives to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to innovation . “ Our teams are constantly scouring the trade press and shows to look out for new technology ,” Tony states . “ Before adopting a new technology , our clients nearly always want to see a reference site where we ’ ve installed the same equipment .
“ Our recent project for John Lewis Partners is a great example of how we can introduce new technologies into our portfolio . As our first HAI Robotics installation , HAI provided a reference site visit to the closest robots they had in the UK , which , alongside our track record of integrating complex automation , gave John Lewis Partners the confidence to proceed with us .
“ We approach client relationships with a ‘ one team ’ ethos , encompassing us as the integrator , our suppliers , and the end customer ,” he continues . “ Transparency and integrity are crucial attributes to ensure we create an environment in which trust and long-term relationships can develop . It goes without saying that communication is also key ; when there are bumps in the road , we must be able to communicate with our customers and jointly agree on the best way forward .”
