2 Sortation and conveyor upgrades give Dick s a competitive edge Dick s Sporting Goods implements upgrades conveyor and sortation system in expanded 725,000-square-foot facility Dual sided IntelliSort shoe sorter. History Dick s Sporting Goods was founded by its namesake Dick Stack when he was just 18 years old in Stack worked at an Army/Navy store in Binghamton, New York, when his idea of expanding its product line to include fishing supplies was mocked by the owner. Relating his disappointment to his family that night, his grandmother decided to give him her life s savings and instructed him to follow his dreams with it. Stack opened the first Dick s as a bait & tackle fishing supply store that same year, and expanded into general sports merchandise in the late 1950s. In the early 1990s, Dick s Sporting Goods began chain operations, opening additional stores across Upstate New York, before moving its headquarters to Pittsburgh in In 2004, the company acquired forty-eight locations from Galyan s Trading Company, another sporting goods store. In 2007, they acquired Golf Galaxy which operated 65 golf superstores. 2 Dick s Sporting Goods

3 Through its 340 store locations and a growing internet order business, Dick s provides authentic full-line sporting goods with a broad assortment of brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel, and footwear in a specialty-store environment. The facility To accommodate the requirements of the facility and system, Dick s Sporting Goods expanded the Plainfield facility from 360,000 square feet to 725,000 square feet. The system consists of receiving, backstock, semi-bulk, quality audit/ ticketing/open to hang, active/singles picking, return to vendor/claims, breakpack, store consolidation, and shipping. Intelligrated developed an implementation plan with minor tie-ins performed at strategic times. Dick s Sporting Goods continued to use the existing system until new areas of the system were ready for tie-in. The outcome resulted in a brand new conveyor system in an expanded building with no interruptions to existing operations. The system The key components of the system include a high speed IntelliSort sliding shoe sorter in the receiving and shipping areas. The breakpack sorter is a dual-sided high speed IntelliSort shoe sorter. A high speed IntelliMerge is located in the receiving area and the shipping area. The merges and single-sided sorters are capable of running 630 feet per minute and are designed to sustain a throughput rate of 180 cartons per minute based on a 24 average length case. The dual sided IntelliSort shoe sorter is capable of running 550 feet per minute and is designed to sustain a throughput rate of 100 cartons per minute. The system is controlled via Intelligrated s InControlWare software that communicates with the Warehouse Management System (WMS), which is located at Dick s Sporting Goods corporate headquarter in Pennsylvania. Support center lets corporate trouble shoot system problems. ViewCenter, a 3D graphical representation of the system, provides ease of monitoring the system real time. Receiving consists of 18 uptake lines for conveying cases from trucks located at the receiving dock. These 18 lines merge into 3 takeaway lines that feed the receiving IntelliMerge merge lines. Also merging at this location is the recirculation line from the receiving sorter and a line from backstock. The receiving IntelliSort sliding shoe sorter has 6 divert locations. The diverts include 3 cross-dock lines, 1 no-read/ jackpot line, 1 breakpack line, and 1 ticketing location. Cases destined for the cross-dock lines transport directly to the shipping IntelliMerge merge lines. The breakpack line conveys product to the dual sided IntelliSort 3 Dick s Sporting Goods

4 IntelliMerge in receiving. shoe sorter for delivery to the put-to-store locations. Cases destined for ticketing transport to the mezzanine level located directly above the breakpack area. No-read or jackpot cases convey to a floor location near the first receiving uptake line. The breakpack area has 12 modules consisting of a combination of gravity and powered conveyor with shelving locations for store cartons. Operators put merchandise into store cartons via RF. Finished store cartons are pushed onto a powered takeaway conveyor and transported to the carton seal area. Empty cartons are placed onto an empty corrugate conveyor for transport to the trash baler. The ticketing area has banks of gravity roller conveyor feeding workstations where the quality audit, ticketing, or open-to-hang operation is performed. Cartons are manually pushed down active lanes to the operators. Finished cases are placed onto a powered takeaway conveyor for transport back to the receiving sorter and onto the next processing destination. Full, open cartons that are destined for shipping first travel to the carton seal location. The carton seal area has an Intellisort pop up wheel sorter for roundrobin sorting to any of the 5 carton seal lines. Outbound sealed cases travel to the shipping IntelliMerge merge lines. Shipping at Dick s Sporting Goods Plainfield, Indiana facility is via palletized loads. The IntelliSort shoe sorter shipping sorter has 33 aftersort diverts. The diverts are clustered into 8 banks of 4 divert lines. The last divert on the sorter is 4 Dick s Sporting Goods

5 for backstock and also serves as the no-read divert. Diverted cases travel off the sorter to gravity run out lanes where the cases are scanned by the operators and placed onto the appropriate store pallet. Cartons that are not successfully diverted travel to the recirculation line located at the end of the sorter. Full pallets are transported via fork lift trucks or pallet jacks to stretch-wrap machines. The pallets are wrapped and staged in the bulk storage area and are now ready for shipment to the store. Intelligrated developed and delivered an implementation plan that allowed Dick s Sporting Goods continuous uninterrupted operations. The passion and flexibility that Intelligrated provided was refreshing and appreciated, said Bill Palmire, Sr. Director of Distribution. Benefits achieved with new system Achieved a 20% increase in productivity in the facility s breakpack area. Achieved a 10% increase in productivity in the facilities receiving area, with increased volume. Experienced zero down time to existing operations during project implementation. 5 Paramount Dick s Sporting Citrus Goods
