Managing hydrodynamic and hydraulic materials in a large manufacturing company focused on the worlds of pharmaceuticals, F&B and cosmetics, to achieve a level of automation “inconceivable without Modula and only with human intervention”.
Classification of materials by shape, type and batches to comply with the stringent regulations (including MOCA – Materials and Articles in Contact with Food), making no mistakes in picking and managing multiple machines and multiple operators all working at the same time: these are the levers to switch from a conventional warehouse to an automated Modula solution.
The advantages for operators are obvious; from throughput to the option of access to multiple machines and materials in the trays, immediately showing them all the components they need to assist with production. With the manufacturing order in hand, operators approach the Modula and warehouse workers can pick from the trays stored, including directly, saving time and space.
Since the arrival of Modula, including five Lifts and nine Slims, six-monthly inventories are no longer needed!
Errors in stocks have been eliminated and all materials are kept under control: the Modula WMS software provides all the answers needed: quantities and locations of materials, and what has been picked. The advantage is tangible in terms of space, economy, time and processes, but most of all, only what is needed is produced.
One of the main side benefits is also the ease of use and interchangeability of operators. Standardising the work means that each operator can do another’s work, using the Copilot with its genuinely user-friendly touchscreen interface.
Modularity is also of major significance for Tassalini: a truly scalable product that has enabled the company to start from one Modula and now reach four of different sizes, capacities, unit heights and depths. with the investment spread out over time, ideal for supporting the company’s growth,
