Automated warehouse with integrated conveyors

In Pandino (CR), within the new cosmetics logistics unit, Villa&Riva has installed a next-generation automated warehouse to offer clients even more reliable, fast, safe, and sustainable logistics services.
At the heart of this technological system is an AutoStore unit integrated with conveyors, designed to optimize every phase of storage, picking, and shipping.

Picking and Conveyors

The AutoStore and conveyor system is intelligent, scalable, and secure, designed to optimize the cosmetics supply chain.
All warehousing, picking, inventory management, and packaging operations are handled by robots that retrieve containers directly from the AutoStore modules and deliver them to the packaging line in a seamless, traceable, high-performance flow.
  • Fast and precise item handling;
  • Elimination of manual errors;
  • Reduced order fulfillment times;
