HANDLING AND INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

CASSIOLI was present at HANNOVER 2009

During LIGNA 2009 fair, CASSIOLI showed  the efficacy of its own automatic warehouse FAST. In the stand (200 sq) it was possible to value the patented features of working system.

The Fast (Furniture Automatic Storage) system is claimed to represent a genuine innovation in the sector, with a new holding device and a sophisticated operational methodology allowing for performances unobtainable with traditional stacker crane systems. As is explained, in comparison with pallet warehouses, the solution does away with the need for stacking objects on pallets and successively singling them out. Moreover, as opposed to stacker cranes that are capable of handling only one object at a time, it can handle many objects simultaneously, in the areas of both storage and retrieval, and can thus significantly reduce the total stacker crane workload. In addition, in contrast to conventional grouping warehouses, the storage system allows the storing of totally random objects by article and a subsequent issuing that is grouped according to customer orders. A final benefit is seen in the fact that it can handle very different object sizes within the same group.
