FIMA LOGISTIC: COMPANY LOGISTICS DEVELOPED TO SERVE THE CUSTOMER

The FIMA LOGISTIC project demanded the reorganization of all production cells, with the insertion of two new automated vertical warehouses, an AGV system for the transport of components and finished products between the various departments, and the introduction of a SORTER for the automated preparation of shipping orders. The VERTICAL WAREHOUSE is an automatic warehouse with closed trays, for the management of all components and small parts for finishing. It allows for the organization, management and protection of items from dust, light and accidental movements, quick picking and constant inventory monitoring. At its side is a double-deep MINILOAD WAREHOUSE capable of optimizing the storage and removal of over 12,000 component boxes. The warehouse is equipped with a lift stacker that can handle over 200 picks per hour, and a loading-unloading buffer that facilitates partial picking. Once picked and gathered together, the various components then reach the production cells for assembly. An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system transports the finished products directly to the shipping department. AGVs are robots equipped with sensors and cameras, capable of recognizing obstacles and people, and optimizing paths around the department. The AGVs automatically load, transport and unload the finished products on the sorter according to the logic of priority, urgency and process optimization. The shipping department is also highly automated, thanks to its SORTER, with motorized belts and roller conveyors, that manages the packages, recognizing the items and dynamically allocating them to the order they belong to. The system sorts and divides the packages until each order is completed, notifying the operator when the goods are ready to be shipped to the end customer. And, therefore, with the advanced FIMA LOGISTIC system, not even 48 hours pass from the order placement.
