A garment-on-hanger (GOH) logistics system manages the movement of hanging garments through different stages of a logistics operation.
Depending on the facility, the system can connect receiving, sorting, storage, internal transport, finishing, packing and dispatch. Conveyor systems, gravity rails, storage, identification and other technologies can be integrated according to the required garment flow.
A GOH logistics system connects the different stages of garment handling into one continuous process. The exact flow depends on the operation, but garments can remain on hangers as they move through receiving, sorting, storage, processing and outbound logistics.
Garments can be moved from incoming goods areas into sorting, inspection or storage without unnecessary manual transfer.
Conveyor systems can support controlled garment routing between departments, storage areas, finishing lines and packing stations.
Hanging garment storage can help improve the use of available warehouse space and keep garments accessible within the process flow.
Garments can be moved to steam tunnels, bagging machines, counters and packing areas as part of an integrated handling process.
Garments can be transferred toward dispatch areas and truck loading systems to support efficient outbound logistics.
A GOH logistics system can combine different technologies according to the required capacity, garment flow, available space and level of automation.
Salpomec solutions can integrate:
These technologies can be used individually or integrated into a larger garment handling system. The system architecture is selected according to the needs of the operation rather than around a fixed standard solution.
Every garment logistics operation has its own flow, volumes, space limitations, processing stages and existing equipment. These factors determine how the GOH system should be designed.
Salpomec starts with the customer’s actual garment flow. We look at how garments enter the facility, where they need to go, how they are stored and processed, and how they eventually leave the operation.
Based on this, the project can include flow analysis, layout planning, conveyor and gravity rail design, storage planning, technology selection, equipment integration, installation, commissioning and ongoing system development.
Move garments between logistics stages without treating each area as a separate process.
Reduce manual transfers between receiving, sorting, storage, finishing and dispatch.
Design transport and storage routes around both floor area and available vertical space.
Use switches, identification and control technologies to direct garments to the required destination.
Connect garment handling with storage, finishing, packing and loading equipment according to the facility.
Salpomec has over 40 years of experience in garment handling and GOH logistics. Our experience covers garment conveyor systems, gravity rail systems, storage, sorting, finishing, loading and supporting technologies.
This background helps us look at more than individual pieces of equipment. We design the system around how garments need to move through the customer’s facility as a whole.
Whether you are planning a new garment handling operation or developing an existing system, our team can help you find a conveyor solution suited to your process, facility and requirements.
