Rapid Conveyor Solution to Help National Retailer Cope with Christmas
Case Studies
A Christmas disaster strikes
This one didn’t involve an uncooked turkey, missing presents or the norovirus… but a retail conveyor. It wasn’t looking like it was going to be a great Christmas for this national retailer.
Their existing conveyor was finally beyond economical repair. It had been used 7 days a week for 12 years and its age and condition were showing. The conveyor was heavily relied on. It was the only method of staff getting bulky items safely between floors in the warehouse – including lots of potential Christmas presents.
Then, just as their sales were ramping up, their conveyor broke down.
PJP to the rescue
The organisation rightly called on PJP Conveyors to assist. We understood how vital these conveyors were to operations, especially so close to a major trading period.
Our strategy was to ensure continuous operations however we could. So we attempted a temporary repair to see them through the period until a new conveyor could be supplied.
Much to the delight of the client, we carried out the repair successfully. We, therefore, managed to eke out every last bit of use from the existing conveyor for a limited period.
A sustainable long term solution developed
Meanwhile, the rest of the PJP team pulled out all the stops. We got a new retail conveyor designed, manufactured, delivered & installed in less than 6 weeks from original breakdown being reported!
We also got all the associated electrical controls replaced and upgraded so that they met current safety standards.
Christmas miracles (available any time of the year)
This is the closest PJP and the client got to a Christmas miracle, because our quick thinking and speedy turnaround truly saved the client from a very sticky situation.
