Storage systems for large slabs

Automated systems for the storage and handling of large-format ceramic slabs

TecnoFerrari ceramic tile storage systems are designed for the automated storage, handling, and traceability of large-format ceramic tiles. The solutions are configured based on product characteristics, production requirements, and the required handling methods, ensuring maximum flexibility in managing logistics flows.

The system allows for the secure organization and management of ceramic tiles stored on different types of supports and according to various warehouse management strategies, adapting to requirements for capacity, accessibility, and material turnover. Each configuration is designed to ensure maximum product protection and minimize the risk of damage during storage and retrieval operations.

These solutions can function as an intermediate warehouse between different production stages, as a logistics buffer, or as a finished-goods warehouse, integrating with AGV/LGV systems, WMS software, and supervision platforms for centralized mission management and complete traceability of the slabs.

Thanks to its ability to combine different storage technologies and support systems, TecnoFerrari creates customized configurations designed to meet the specific needs of the most advanced and automated ceramic plants.

Automated System for the Safe Handling of Ceramic Slabs

TecnoFerrari’s ceramic slabs warehouses allow for the optimization of available space and the automation of handling and storage operations for particularly delicate and large-format materials.

Integration with AGV/LGV automated guided vehicles and WMS software enables efficient management of logistics flows, reducing manual handling and improving control over load units throughout all stages of the production and distribution process.

The slabs can be handled in either a horizontal or vertical position, using different types of supports depending on the material’s characteristics and the facility’s operational needs. The system also ensures complete product traceability and optimizes storage logic according to FIFO or LIFO criteria.

The modularity of the available solutions allows for the development of high- or medium-density warehouses, combining different storage technologies to achieve the best balance between capacity, accessibility, and productivity.
