As a resultof strong growth in the linear guide sector, the company has decided to implement a dedicated solution for cutting bars and sections to measure.
The introduction of the new machine also required adequate infrastructure to feed the cutting line.
To this end, the Ferretto has designed and built a Steel Tower vertical storage system for bars and sections intended to optimize preparation, stock control, and environmental safety.
The Steel Tower is 10 m high, has 49 trays with 2,500 kg capacity each, and a storage surface of 200 m2on a footprint of just 40 m2.
The Steel Tower is completed with dedicated management software, also developed by the Ferretto, which dialogues with the company’s ERP, to which the data related to the inbound/outbound material is automatically transmitted, so that updated inventory information is always available.
This vertical storage solution designed by the Ferretto has improved the management of both inbound and outbound flows and optimized inventory control and use of the warehouse area.
The product supplied has met the customer’s expectations: it facilitates operations on the new cutting line while at the same time ensuring safety in the workplace, which is a critical added value given the size of the load units handled.
