Instead, the revolutionary FAST system allows optimisation of the storage of finished products, customer order definition and shipment of products. Traditional handling systems encounter extreme difficulty in contexts where goods from various production lines have to be stored whilst everything needed for a given order is prepared. There are not only production problems, therefore, but also logistics, storage, handling and management issues.

The FAST (Furniture Automated Storage) System represents a true innovation in the automated storage system industry. Specifically, an innovative gripping device and sophisticated operating methodology deliver performance that would be impossible with any traditional system using stacker cranes.

Taking advantage of the ability to keep all storage fronts open, i.e. all the references in which the packages must be grouped (for shipment), companies can move from an ordered production, by order, to a randomized production, by type (i.e. production with optimized logic independent of the progression required to complete customer orders). A FAST warehouse allows automation of all activities from the end of the production lines to loading of vehicles. In fact, the system receives the packages from different production areas, composes the customer order directly on the shelf, picks the entire quantity of goods assigned to a customer and sends this to a specific vehicle loading bay at the precise moment required. Full automation. Tangible benefits include greater accuracy of customer orders and less damage to goods due to the absence of handling performed by operators.
