Why choose automated warehouses?
Today, choose automated warehouses means gaining a significant competitive advantage.
Indeed, the need to keep up with an increasingly pressing demand from modern markets has highlighted the need for companies to equip themselves with tools and solutions to manage their complexity.
Warehouse automation and integration of logistics processes with robotic facilities are at the heart of this advantage.
Integration
An automated warehouse has the great advantage of being fully integrated with corporate management systems. Thanks to the warehouse management software, WMS (Warehouse Management System), the user always has full control over inventories, movements and situations at every level of the facility.
This allows for complete product traceability, now an indispensable feature for any modern company.
The ability to track items passed through the warehouse is a key feature today for all companies, but especially for those sectors that need widespread traceability of their products. An automated warehouse can tell if a product from a particular lot is still in the warehouse, when it came in if it went out, or under which order and DDT it was shipped.

Increased storage capacity
The major difference between an automated warehouse and a traditional warehouse also plays out in the amount of references stored and space utilization.
In contrast to a traditional warehouse, an automated warehouse is able to store a larger number of references by utilizing all available space and minimizing handling space.
A shelving system supplied with stacker cranes, for example, does not require wide aisles for material handling and, above all, allows the height utilization of all available space. This solution makes it possible to increase and optimize storage space by using every useful inch of the shelving without increasing the horizontal square footage of the warehouse.
