Since some years ago, production processes’ automation is a growing trend among high size companies; automation was quite less common among small size companies due to its high cost, long implementation process and its doubtful return of investment.
This trend is changing; technology offers more and more possibilities, while period for the return of investment and amortization are becoming much shorter.
At SITAB we are convinced that in the future automation will be part of all companies; at SITAB, first step was to have commercial component warehouse replaced by a vertical storaging system that allows not only to reduce the occupied area at the factory, but also to simplify accesories preparing process, increasing picking speed and reducing mistakes at expedition.
A second step, more ambicious than the first one, will be to introduce an automated warehouse for the stock of aluminium profiles; this change will allow us to increase the productivity, to reduce the occupied area, and profiles movements at SITAB.
