The textile sector is a dynamic and growing sector, at the same time sophisticated, with a great variety of distribution channels, logistically complex and globalized.

For the European economy, the textile sector is a relevant sector representing a majority of the GDP, being one of the most exporting sectors, and accounting for more than 4% of total employment, between direct and indirect jobs.

In recent years the entire value chain has undergone considerable changes. The trend towards globalization has wholly affected the textile sector. The manufacture of garments can be produced in many parts of the world, which poses a logistical and transport challenge.

On the other hand, competition is growing, as well as the requirements of consumers. One of the consequences is the higher rotation of products and the need to reach the market faster from conception and design, as well as from production to the point of sale.  

The emergence and consolidation of the Internet and electronic commerce as a distribution channel only affects the need to reduce costs in an already complicated and expensive logistics chain. That is why the entire sector is experiencing a significant change in its operations, with the creation of sizeable centralized distribution centers from which the distribution network is serviced worldwide.

The Textile Sector Today

The textile sector is facing important challenges such as large fluctuations in demand, peak times (sales, Christmas, Black Friday), and seasonality. Success in such a dynamic industry requires a highly refined and competitive distribution to meet the demand generated during seasonal seasons and promotional campaigns.

This is accompanied by the trend of inventory reduction in store and the increase in the frequency of deliveries, as well as the telematic control of stocks, requires high precision in the management of inventories.

All this complexity requires, among other things, minimizing the manipulation of the garments to reduce the deterioration of these, as well as the dirt on them.

The Storage Of Hanging Garments And Textile Products

In this context of growing difficulty in the supply chain and higher demand on the part of consumers, the storage of garments of clothes and hanging textile products is seeing a healthy development, precisely so that the garments retain their condition and form in perfect conditions. , and that during the trips and during the time they are hung the garments do not wrinkle, deform, or suffer from snagging, with the ultimate goal of reaching the consumer’s hands in optimal conditions.

For textile companies, it also saves time and money, avoiding the need for final ironing and maintaining the quality of the product unaltered throughout the supply chain.

The garments arrive at the distribution center placed on hangers, and they are placed in steel bars (loading unit) that are stored in specially designed shelves. The handling of the garments is done automatically, moving through the warehouse utilizing suspended rail conveyors and robotic stacker cranes. Structurally special supports are developed in which the load units are deposited.

To make all these possible, flexible storage solutions by this website are developed to accommodate the different types of garments: short and long, adults and children, seasonal, heavy and light, etc.
