Picking systems for ceramic slabs

Manual, semi-automatic and automatic solutions for the preparation of large ceramic slab orders

TecnoFerrari picking systems for ceramic slabs are solutions designed for the efficient, safe and controlled preparation of orders within end-of-line systems, finished product warehouses and dedicated logistics areas.

The system enables slab picking, multi-reference order preparation and integration with the subsequent dispatch stages, reducing operating times and improving accuracy in materials management.

The solutions can operate as a dedicated picking area or be integrated with end-of-line systems or different types of warehouse, depending on the layout, production volumes and order management logic required.

Picking systems for slabs integrate with AGVs/LGVs, WMS software, identification systems, Cartesian systems, anthropomorphic robots, labellers and strapping machines, enabling coordinated management of picking, order preparation, inspection and dispatch preparation operations.

Integrated system for large slab order preparation

Picking for ceramic slabs is used in the order preparation stage, when products with different formats, references or destinations need to be picked and organised according to dispatch requirements.

The solution enables the management of complex orders, reducing operational errors and optimising picking routes within the logistics area or warehouse. Integration with the WMS makes it possible to coordinate missions, trace the units being handled and improve control of the operating flow.

Depending on the level of automation required, the system can support assisted manual activities, semi-automatic operations or fully automated processes, with goods-to-man or man-to-goods logic.

The modular design allows the system to be adapted to different slab handling methods, on A-frames, stackable supports, wooden crates or without support, protecting the integrity of the material during handling and order preparation operations.

Available configurations
Assisted manual picking

A solution in which picking and order composition activities are carried out by the operator with the support of identification systems, WMS and route optimisation logic.

This configuration improves accuracy, traceability and work organisation, while maintaining a contained level of automation that can be adapted to different layouts.

Picking semi-autoSemi-automatic pickingmatico

A configuration that combines operator intervention with automatic handling, identification and order preparation support systems.

La soluzione semi-automatica permette di ridurre la movimentazione manuale, velocizzare le operazioni e migliorare il controllo del processo, mantenendo flessibilità nella gestione di ordini complessi.
The semi-automatic solution reduces manual handling, speeds up operations and improves process control, while maintaining flexibility in the management of complex orders.

Automatic picking

A fully automated system for the preparation of ceramic slab orders, integrable with AGVs/LGVs, WMS, Cartesian systems, anthropomorphic robots, labellers and strapping machines.

This configuration enables picking to be managed with high operational continuity, reducing errors and increasing the overall efficiency of the logistics process.

Goods-to-man configuration

A solution in which the units or materials to be picked are brought to a dedicated operating station, reducing operator movement and optimising preparation times.

Man-to-goods configuration

A solution in which the operator reaches the units to be picked by following optimised routes and operating instructions managed by the system.

This configuration is suitable for contexts where high flexibility is required in the management of references, supports and picking methods.
