Thanks to this system, we have achieved great results in terms of efficiency and cost reduction.
In Gi Di, the introduction of the automated warehouse in 2021 has completely revolutionized logistics management, allowing us to optimize the way we store raw materials, finished products, and semi-finished products. Thanks to this system, we have achieved great results in terms of efficiency and cost reduction.
Space optimization and real-time monitoring
The main advantage we have observed is the ability to store all materials in one place, with a fully automated process. This lets us optimize the available space, freeing it for other strategic activities, and monitor stock status in real time. Thanks to the integration with our management software, we can constantly monitor the quantities of materials in the warehouse. We always know exactly which items are available and are automatically notified when new orders need to be placed. This control gives us great confidence and allows us to avoid emergency situations due to stock shortages.
Cost reduction and better inventory management
Another major advantage is the reduction of inventory management costs. With better inventory management, we avoid waste and optimize the use of working capital. This translates into more efficient planning of business activities, reducing the risk of having too much or too little material available.
All of this allows us to offer a better service to our customers: we can respond more quickly to their requests and ensure products are always available when needed.
Safety and optimal organization
Another important aspect of our automated warehouse is safety. The materials are stored in an orderly and traceable manner, making handling operations faster and safer for both our operators and the goods themselves. With the automated system, the risks of errors or accidents are minimized, giving us great peace of mind.
The management software allows us to keep track of stored quantities and notifies us when stock levels fall below a certain threshold, allowing us to always be one step ahead in managing supplies.
Shape and weight checks
One of the most interesting aspects of our system is the strictness of checks at the material entry point. Before being stored, the products must pass a series of shape and weight inspections, conducted through sensors positioned at entry/exit bays and on shuttle transports. This guarantees that only compliant materials are stored, ensuring maximum efficiency and safety in operations.
Our warehouse in numbers
The results are clear: our automated warehouse covers an area of 1,326 m² and can support up to 9,800 tons of materials. Thanks to this capacity, we are able to handle significant volumes with a level of precision and speed that was previously unthinkable.
Introducing the automated warehouse into the company has been a winning choice. It has allowed us to improve logistics efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize space utilization. Having real-time inventory monitoring lets us always be ready and provide an excellent service to our customers.
We are convinced that automation is the right path for those who, like us, want to continue to grow and compete effectively in the global market.
