Consolidation area
In this area, operators pack, verify and prepare packing lists, while they issue and stick
shipping labels to the orders.
To complete the operation, there are pack-
ing boxes of different sizes, prep tables,
computers and printers. At the end of the
circuit, the orders are sorted into several
channels assigned to different customers
or delivery routes. Afterwards, they place
the boxes on the shipping pallets to stretch
wrap them in one of three stretch wrapping
machines installed right in front of the load-
ing docks.
The stretch wrappers are used to secure the
load that is deposited on pallets via plastic
film, safeguarding it from scrapes and other
damage.
Once the orders are completed, they are sent to the preload areas located
in front of the loading docks to be sorted into dispatch routes
