Renovotec, which provides rugged hardware for warehousing and distribution, retail and manufacturing companies, has replaced the entire complement of rugged hardware in Accolade Wines’ 650,000 square feet, 85,000-pallet capacity operation – Europe’s largest bonded warehouse – with 55 Honeywell Thor VM1 truck-mounted and 30 Honeywell Tecton handheld mobile computers. Accolade Wines also operates a three-line bottling plant on the same site, where hand-held devices are used to scan stock on and off the line. Accolade Wines’ 24/7 operation employs more than 500 people on its site, which has 250 truck movements per day. Accolade Wines’ rugged hardware upgrade is a key element of its general expansion, which has included the installation of a third bottling line. The company now produces one million bottles per day.
