BITO Storage Systems greater Experience Centre

BITO Storage Systems is continuing to invest in its Experience Centre

- the company's noted showroom and testing facility located at its

Nuneaton headquarters, which this month will see a working

demonstration of the PROmotion shuttle go live.


This will give visitors to the centre a chance to see for themselves

how this innovative battery-powered pallet handling vehicle feeds

pallets in and out of the racking lane in which it is operating.

Visitors will get a clear view of how the system can provide smooth

material flow and immediate product availability with maximum storage

volume utilisation, which are critical for logistics productivity and

efficiency.


Edward Hutchison, MD at BITO says: "The successful Experience Centre

has seen an big increase in visitor numbers and we are continuing to

make investments, such as this installation of a working demonstration

of the PROmotion shuttle. This will provide the ideal opportunity for

people to see this innovative shuttle solution working and to

investigate the benefits they can reap. A visit to the centre will

also offer a great opportunity to see and investigate a full range of

storage and order picking solutions."


The development of the Experience Centre builds on BITO's strong

performance over the past year, as Hutchison explains: "BITO achieved

10 per cent growth last year and profitability improved by 20 per

cent, which accounted for 5 per cent of turnover. Good, steady growth

on the profitability of the business demonstrates BITO's stability as

a supplier."
