The new plan to be built for FIEGE will meet the needs of an increasingly performance-demanding sector and will mainly consist of SAVOYE conveyor lines, box forming machine, Jivaro box closing machines with volume lowering, e-commerce line sorter, retail line sorter, and a WCS (Warehouse Control System) to manage all the automatic technologies of the new logistics installation.
Downstream of a traditional picking zone, the SAVOYE system will handle order consolidation and shipping for the two different business lines, retail and e-commerce. For the retail line, the system will provide picking operators with automatically assembled cardboard boxes in various formats. Once the picking process is completed, the boxes will pass through a quality control station, then the Jivaro box closer will automatically lower the height of the box according to the items contained inside, obtaining a twofold advantage, the reduction of the volume shipped and the protection of the items inside. Once closed, the shipping label will be applied and the boxes will be routed to the corresponding sorting station. Orders destined for the e-commerce channel will be transferred to the packing stations where, depending on the products picked, suitable packaging will be used and specific customizations can be made to the order. All e-commerce packages will then be transferred via a high-performance line to a consolidation and sorting area.
“I can say that from the very beginning of the collaboration with FIEGE, I felt from both companies a strong desire to start a win-win partnership that we hope will extend to other future projects.” Massimo Cecchinato, managing director of Savoye Italia, concludes.
