Industry: Parcels, Mail and Fulfilment
WarmTronics Application: Warehouse Workstations
Whistl is the UK’s leading logistics company, uniquely placed to help businesses effectively manage their eCommerce supply chain.
As an early adopter of innovative technologies, Whistl started working with WarmTronics in 2018 to develop a heating solution for their Warehouse teams. Following extensive prototype testing and trials, a low voltage solution with built in anti-fatigue mat was found.
“Heating large sheds is a challenge, expensive and a waste of energy. Working with WarmTronics we have been fortunate to contribute to the development of a product that is more efficient in warming our people but less so the planet” said Gareth Hughes, Procurement & Property Director at Whistl.
“The collaborative approach and constructive nature of WarmTronics has resulted in a roll out to our warehouse workers making their working day more comfortable, reducing cost and reducing the impact on the planet. This triple bottom line approach is at the core of what we do.”
WarmTronics Heat Mats provide heating to the Whistl teams in Devon, Bristol, Bedford, Northampton, Rushden, Lutterworth, Bolton, Gateshead, Glasgow and Belfast.
As a comparison, if Whistl had installed 3kw Infrared Lamp Heaters at their workstations rather than WarmTronics Heat Mats, it would:
- Running Costs: An additional estimated £66,905 per month in electricity
- Carbon Emissions: Increase by an estimated 2,828,200 KgCO2e per annum
