The fully automated warehouse is equipped with state-of-the-art technology designed to optimise logistics operations
Vetropack, one of Europe’s leading glass manufacturers, is embracing the full potential of a smart factory in Italy. At its new manufacturing site in Boffalora sopra Ticino, the company operates a state-of-the-art, fully automated warehouse. Customers benefit from shorter lead times and seamless transparency.
The fully automated warehouse is equipped with state-of-the-art technology designed to optimise logistics operations at Vetropack’s new site in Italy. It achieves notably higher efficiency in order processing compared to conventional or partially automated warehouses. Thanks to this new system, Vetropack Italia ensures real-time full traceability, enabling immediate responses to any deviations and significantly reduced lead times. Automation also ensures the even distribution of tasks across available resources, helping Vetropack avoid bottlenecks and ensure efficient capacity utilisation.
“In Boffalora, all processes are aligned with the latest technology,” says Jaroslav Mikliš, Group Supply Chain Projects and Transformation Manager. This includes the logistics, which were planned using simulations. “In a fully automated warehouse, unnecessary movements are a thing of the past. At the same time, precise data acquisition enables us to control and monitor processes with exceptional accuracy,” Jaroslav Mikliš explains further. To ensure smooth operations, the entire system can be remotely monitored.
