CUSTOMER NEEDS

The customer turned to Cassioli for the construction of a distribution center for finished products, in particular household appliances and utensils.

Cassioli provided an automatic warehouse for finished products with integrated picking (Good to Person). The large quantity of products and the limited area available led Cassioli to develop a project for a 40-meter high stacker crane. The project began by analyzing statistical data of flows to size the system and volumes for the study of the ideal unit load in order to efficiently accommodate the different types of products. As a result of this study it has been created a pallet with dimensions of 1,45m x 1,45m x 2,8m (height). The project needed a connection with the production area which presented a difference in height; this was compensated by installing a dedicated pallet elevator.
The project has already been prepared for a possible future expansion with doubling of capacity and flows.
