The Solution

Scaletronic designed and installed a turnkey SLAM system for byrd’s warehouses. Key components include:

DWS Station: Automatically scans barcodes, weighs, and measures each parcel.

Print & Apply Modules: Instantly print and apply labels without manual handling.

5-Way Sorter: Routes parcels into the correct accumulation chutes using wheel diverters.

This end-to-end setup guarantees accurate data capture and seamless flow from receiving to dispatch.

The Challenge

Before SLAM, byrd’s fulfillment centers relied on manual labeling and manifesting, which slowed down processing—especially during peak periods. Entering weights and dimensions by hand introduced human error, and without automated sortation, parcels often piled up, delaying shipping cut-off times.

The Result

“The SLAM solution saves us around 15% per order—cutting 5 to 10 seconds off each shipment. That efficiency gain makes a huge difference when you’re processing thousands of orders daily,” says David, Head of Marketing at byrd.

Since implementation, byrd has seen:

30% increase in throughput during peak periods
15% reduction in labor hours spent on scanning and labeling

With Scaletronic’s modular SLAM pods, byrd can replicate this setup in every new micro-hub - ensuring consistent, high-speed fulfillment across Europe.
