Pr t porter, if the
logistics are right!
The short-lived fashion world places high
demands on logistics. FashionPartner Group,
textile logistics specialist based in the Paris
region and as a member of the Fashionnet
logistics network active throughout Europe,
knows that, too. In order to ensure the fast and uninterrupted goods flow at the
company's warehouse and transport locations the fashion company relies on

The FashionPartner Group's network transports almost 100 million textiles and
lifestyle products every year and handles aspects such as the Europe-wide distribution
of high-quality clothing in the retail market. High-performance transport management
is essential in order for all articles to arrive at the right time at the right recipient.
Receipts, collection receipts, bills of lading and invoices must be printed for every
single order - quickly, reliably and cost-effectively. For many years the TallyGenicom
printers from Printronix have been proving their worth at the FashionPartner Group.
40 line matrix printers of the product family TG6800 currently create over 1.5 million
receipts and more than 2 million printed documents annually.

basics of IP video network design.
Written expressly for those who have analogue CCTV knowledge and who want to

• How these differ from analogue CCTV
• How system design impacts network requirements
• And, which equipment can be utilised to ensure optimum performance, investment, and
future proofing
Using simple, straightforward language and clear examples, the whitepaper takes an
unbiased look at both the advantages and challenges of using IP video for surveillance
installations, and illustrates the differences in approach required to design an IP video
network, as opposed to the traditional analogue system.
