Cimcorp joins MHI AS/RS Industry Group

Cimcorp, manufacturer and integrator of turnkey robotic order fulfilment and tyre handling solutions, has joined US-based trade association MHI’s Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) Industry Group, a collective of the world’s leading AS/RS suppliers that focuses on collaboratively growing and supporting the AS/RS market. As part of the Industry Group, Cimcorp says it will leverage its knowledge and expertise to help MHI members and customers discover efficient, safe, and innovative solutions to their most pressing material flow challenges.

Incorporated in 1945, MHI is the USA’s largest material handling, logistics, and supply chain association for helping helps equipment and system manufacturers promote their solutions and advance the industry. It offers education, networking, and solution sourcing for its more than 800 members, their customers and the industry at large.

MHI includes 17 Industry Groups that represent the leading providers in several key equipment and system solution categories. The AS/RS Industry Group meets regularly to share and evaluate standards for the design, performance, and proper operation of AS/RS solutions.

Helping members & customers discover solutions

As a leading provider of intralogistics solutions, Cimcorp has installed automated systems in over 40 countries across six continents and is ready to lend its voice to further the AS/RS Industry Group’s mission. Cimcorp’s comprehensive portfolio of systems includes a variety of storage and retrieval solutions that uniquely solve critical challenges in warehousing and distribution.

Cimcorp’s technology can handle a wide range of products with high speed and precision, making it ideal for a range of industries. Notably, Cimcorp’s solutions have the flexibility to manage a distribution centre’s entire operations or operate as an ‘island’ of automation within a manual facility.

“We are excited to bring our insights and experiences to MHI’s members, as well as learn from fellow industry leaders,” says Derek Rickard, director of sales, Cimcorp Automation Ltd. “At Cimcorp, we know that implementing an AS/RS can have a big payout for warehouses and solve some of the biggest challenges in modern distribution – from labour shortages and safety concerns to SKU proliferation and shrinking storage space to rising customer demands for faster fulfilment speed.

“We also know that every organisation’s warehousing needs are unique and that successful automation projects require so much more than technology,” Rickard continues. “We bring extensive project management expertise to the table, and can help educate MHI members in best practices to reduce uncertainty, while ensuring safety and quality, during the implementation process.”
