CEO Teaflex

Why integrate an in-house automatic warehouse?

The modular nature of automated warehouses has allowed us to customise our vertical warehouse space, achieving the best solution at minimal cost. With the automatic warehouse, we can reduce search, picking and stocking times for goods. Space is used in the best way. Our business has to deal with hundreds of orders every day. We need to know exactly where any particular product is in order to fulfil the order in the quickest possible time

What is the role of the automatic warehouse in your flow of goods?

The decision to have an automated warehouse was made because it was necessary to intervene in order to improve profitability, increase work safety, increase product storage capacity, eliminate the risk of swapping products and offer a better level of service to our customers as well as achieving zero non-compliances caused by human error.

What made you choose this type of automatic warehouse?

Thanks to the skills of Trascar, we chose an automatic warehouse allowing us to save floor space, increase productivity, monitor goods in real time and work in complete safety.

What is your vision of logistics in the future?

The key to the future will be the ability to design, manufacture and sell even more items in limited volumes. The company needs to reduce management costs and increase operating efficiency in order to improve competitiveness. The futuristic vision of the warehouse, with human workers alongside robots, is now on our doorstep.

Business logistics must therefore innovate, using

- the reorganisation of spaces and structures;
- the revision of tools and equipment;
- the reorganisation of service suppliers andworking methods.

different levers:

Some of the main factors pushing logistics towards change are:

the constant increase in the number of items managed in stock and the need to monitor stock levels in real time;

• the attention to productivity and precision when preparing orders;
• the attention to productivity and precision when preparing orders;
• the need to reduce delivery times and lower delivery costs; the need to manage different sales channels, e-commerce above all, in the best way; the development of green initiatives such as recycling and reducing the amount of raw materials used for packaging and deliveries; the reduction of delivery volumes, etc.

A change that will also have an impact on goods transport. Logistics companies will have to deliver few products all over in Italy and worldwide in a short space of time.

Technology is therefore a focal point that is forcing the sector to reorganise itself due to a change in consumer behaviour.

Customers ask for material in the shortest possible time, because they have no more interest in holding material in stock.

At the same time, there is much demand for innovation in logistics. Firstly, there is real-time trackand- trace, mobile access to logistical networks and quicker and simpler invoicing procedures to reduce times that are still too long.
