History
Paragon Laundry was established in 1918; their range of services through the years has benefited from a programme of continuous development which has resulted in market leadership.
Due to unprecedented growth in their occasional linen business, Paragon has invested heavily in a new state of the art laundry facility in Ross-on-Wye, utilising the latest technology and energy/cost efficient equipment to cope with their current business demands.
The Solution
Having already purchased a Hanel Lean Lift from IAS to solve their storage needs at the Cheltenham facility, Paragon was familiar with the floor space savings and reliability of the system. Paragon were also very interested in investigating how other IAS customers had integrated the picking system with their host computer network to increase speed and improve accuracy.
After conducting a site survey and discussing the customer's requirements in more depth, IAS specified two Lean lifts at 7.5m in order to totally utilise the available headroom at this purpose built facility. The main objective of this project was to store a vast quantity of occasional linen, bundled in predetermined quantities that could be easily identified and picked ready for dispatch in the quickest and most cost effective manner.
Mr Keith Field, Production Director commented that "Having already purchased a Lean Lift 12 months prior to the new factory opening in Ross-on-Wye, we were well aware of the efficiencies the Lean Lift could bring our business. Our objective was to store all of our occasional linen off the factory floor and to utilise the full height of our building.
"Reliability was also one of our major considerations when buying the equipment because the Lean Lifts have a direct impact on our dispatch capabilities. Through previous experience we were already impressed with the excellent level of service provided by IAS".
