Ekol leverages advanced automation systems that enable the hands-free movement, storage, sorting, and transfer of hanging garments directly to the shipping area. This approach not only minimizes storage and handling costs but also ensures 100 percent order accuracy.

Among the many technologies in use is the pick-to-light system, which is particularly effective in detailed order picking operations. It guides personnel via LED displays showing the location and quantity of items to be picked, and confirms task completion through built-in buttons that send real-time feedback to the system.
In its textile warehouses, Ekol utilizes automated sorter systems designed to serve various storage units for order preparation and return handling operations. Warehouse staff are supported by RF handheld terminals, which provide work orders and allow real-time data entry upon task completion.

To further optimize space and efficiency, vertical lift modules (VLMs) equipped with an internal automatic lift system are used. These units transport products vertically using individually mobile trays, bringing items directly to the operator. This reduces walking distances, maximizes storage capacity, and significantly improves time efficiency.
