bel-partnership-logo.jpgCentral Systems & Automation Ltd (CS&A), provider of the leading warehouse management and control solution Autostore, today announced that it has established a partnership with Belgravium Ltd, a manufacturer of rugged mobile communications devices. CS&A will now offer its manufacturing and logistics customers a complete radio frequency (RF) communications solution – based on Belgravium’s high quality terminals – to streamline fulfillment and distribution operations.

CS&A and Belgravium’s combined RF-enabled warehouse management solution is proven to increase customer satisfaction and profitability significantly through enhanced accuracy and efficiency in the warehouse. Although the two organisations have prior experience of working together on various warehouse automation projects (including Great Bear Distribution), the formal agreement is particularly gratifying for Belgravium as CS&A has extensive experience of most of the major RF vendors.

As Andrew McKaig, Commercial Director at CS&A comments : “We have worked closely with many RF manufacturers over the past decade or so. Obviously, it’s important to us that the hardware component of a warehouse automation project matches the inherent performance and reliability of our software. The majority of our clients are running time-critical logistics operations and the hardware has to provide real-time capability and, more importantly, sustain that level of performance. Those customer sites where we have specified Belgravium hardware have performed exceptionally well and we were delighted to formalise our relationship.”

Belgravium’s rugged hand-held and truck-mounted RF terminals present warehouse operatives with real-time instructions, such as: goods-in procedures, pick assignments, put-away instructions and replenishment duties, directly from CS&A’s Autostore warehouse management system. When these activities are completed, the RF terminals immediately provide data back to Autostore to facilitate real-time inventory.

“RF-enabled warehouse management is a very exciting development for many of our customers as the improved accuracy and productivity in the warehouse is proven to yield huge savings and increase profitability,” said McKaig. “We are committed to offering the very latest in functionality and technology to enable clients to gain real competitive advantage and, as a leading provider of high-quality RF hardware, Belgravium is a key partner for our business going forward.”

Mike Turner, Belgravium’s Group Marketing Manager, is similarly enthusiastic: “In the logistics sector we rely upon third party software products to complete the total client solution. Our own reputation is directly influenced by our choice of software partner and clients can be assured that our criteria are very stringent. We are delighted to be working with CS&A because of the quality of Autostore and the company’s overall professionalism.”
