Smart Cold Storage 4.0

How cutting-edge advanced technologies are reshaping the landscape of cold chain industry and optimizing cold storage warehouse operations.

EAGLE TRAYS: A PIONEERING ORDER CASE PICKING SOLUTION

The R&D project developed by E80 Group tackles the issue of multi-shape and multi-size picking by implementing innovative robotic solutions capable of preparing pallets with non-homogeneous products for industrial plants and distribution centers.

A 2.92-million-euro research and development plan strives to push the frontier of logistic automation beyond its current limits, creating industrial innovation, added value in the supply chain and work opportunities.

AUTOMATION AND INTRALOGISTICS 4.0: THE FUTURE OF DISTRIBUTION CENTERS

In an ever-evolving world, distribution centers are facing increasingly complex challenges. The growing market competitiveness and the rising customer demand for faster and more efficient service are putting decision makers to the test. In this context, relying on one trusted partner for supply chain integration and the digitalization of processes plays a critical role.

Which are the advantages of the integration between storage solutions and LGVs?

Effective warehouse management is fundamental to allow producers to optimize the production flow according to the actual market demand, reducing shipping times, minimizing errors, and exploiting the available space.

Automated Guided Vehicle Systems increase efficiency and safety

Producers must continuously increase the throughputs of their factories and address new channels of distribution. They also face an ever-increasing demand for more SKUs, smaller production batches, and mixed orders, so an efficient intralogistics solution is vital to address these challenges adequately.

Robotized systems to increase the Smart Factory sustainability

E80 Group also specializes in developing innovative robotic end-of-line systems that perfectly integrate with all automated handling, palletizing and storage solutions. In particular, the quality, compliance and safety levels of wrapping and labeling are continuously tested and improved within the Bema Lab, a space dedicated to the development of customized solutions aiming at anticipating customers’ production needs.

How simulation is transforming factory design

“We have developed a strategic tool to create customized proposals for our customers that we know can deliver and that we guarantee over time”. Chiara Amore, System Analyst Manager at E80 Group, explains Smart Designer.

SMART DESIGNER, the cutting-edge technology for factory layout

A strategic, dynamic analysis tool developed by E80 Group to transform customers’ factories into industry 4.0. What’s the main advantage? The opportunity to determine the optimal intralogistics solutions from the very beginning. 

What is Smart Factory

What if we were to define the concept of “Smart Factory”?

First and foremost, we need to keep in mind the bigger picture that lead companies to embrace Industry 4.0 . Secondly, the actual definition: Smart Factory is an integrated system of automated instruments and productive processes that optimizes the logistics of raw materials and final products within an industrial plant.
