Solutions, sorted by what you ship.

Every HS line is built for one customer’s goods, volumes and building. It is always made from proven modules and runs on our own software. Start with your sector, or go straight to the module catalogue.

What we build

Pick-to-light stations and pick walls for consolidated order picking
Weight control on every box, with scanners at the point of picking
Automatic delivery notes and shipping labels
Sortation to carrier and route

Already have a line?

Upgrade before you replace.

Many of the lines we have delivered can be adapted to goods other than those they were built for. Often the answer is new software, a new station or modified mechanics, not a new building. We start by looking at what you have.
