Worldwide Distribution Center Mitek's 140,000 square foot Winslow, Illinois facility houses employees specializing in finance/ administration and Information Technology. The Winslow facility also serves as the distribution center for loudspeaker component systems, amplifiers and enclosures worldwide. This facility features a sophisticated automated distribution system which allows workers to process twice as many packages with half the amount of manual labor from previous methods. Our technologically advanced system includes a Telescopic Belt Conveyor which is used to load and unload loose products from rigid trucks, trailers, and containers; along with a physically erected racking device with belt conveyors that take products to the consolidation area and put them on a skid, allowing workers to view all the products so they may build appropriate size skids. As part of the system a tilt lift moves each skid upright, places it on a roller, and wraps it. This eliminates the need for workers to lift heavy objects. Other advantages of the automated distribution system are the gravity flow racks, which automatically replace an empty skid with a new, full one, so workers are never waiting for skids.
