TecnoFerrari storage systems for ceramic slabs are automatic solutions designed to optimise and stabilise production flows in lines dedicated to the manufacture of large formats.
These solutions enable flexible batch management and the creation of controlled buffer areas between the different process stages, improving operational continuity and the overall efficiency of the plant.
The systems can be integrated into the handling of unfired products, particularly between the glazing line and the kiln, or into the handling of fired products, at the kiln exit and between the different sections dedicated to post-firing treatments, such as grinding, lapping and sorting.
The solutions integrate with AGVs/LGVs, automatic loading and unloading systems, transport lines and supervision software, enabling coordinated management of materials and operating flows throughout the entire production line.
TecnoFerrari automatic storage systems for ceramic slabs are used in stages where differences in operating speed between process machines need to be compensated for, reducing the risk of line stoppages caused by bottlenecks.
The system creates a controlled reserve of unfired or fired products, making it possible to keep the production flow stable even in the event of routine maintenance, extraordinary interventions or operating discontinuities in the machines installed in the plant.
Automation reduces manual intervention in slab handling and management, improving operating accuracy, reducing human error and optimising the organisation of personnel in production departments.
Thanks to the availability of solutions with loading and unloading systems for flatbeds, boxes or stackable frames, the plant can be configured according to the production layout, the type of line and the customer’s specific requirements.
Reduction in production downtime caused by bottlenecks between different process machines.
Greater production continuity in the handling of unfired and fired slabs.
Optimization of material flows between the glazing, firing, grinding, lapping, and sorting stations.
Reduction in the impact of routine maintenance and unscheduled repairs on plant productivity.
Less dependence on manual operations in slab handling and management.
Reduction in operational errors related to manual batch management.
Improved staff organization in production departments.
High adaptability to production layouts and the customer’s operational needs.
Automated handling of large ceramic formats up to 160x360 cm.
Automatic loading and unloading machine for roller boxes, designed for the storage management of ceramic slabs through dedicated box handling systems.
This configuration is suitable for applications where intermediate buffers and production flows between different sections of the plant need to be managed, maintaining operational continuity and reducing the impact of line stoppages.
Automatic loading and unloading machine for flatbeds or stackable frames, designed for the storage management of large ceramic slabs.
The MP400 solution makes it possible to organise flows of unfired or fired products according to production requirements, layout and processing sequence, ensuring automated and controlled slab management throughout the process.
