The metal racks from ATOX Storage Systems were present at Logistics Porto 2015, an event that was held for the first time in Portugal on September 23 and 24. As Logistics Madrid is one of the main events in the logistics sector in Spain, this year it was extended to Portugal for the first time, with the appointment held last September. Logistics and storage professionals will once again have the usual appointment at Logistics Madrid during the month of November.
ATOX is present every year at Logistics Madrid as a prominent exhibitor given its role in the storage sector as a leading manufacturer of metal racking, storage systems and automation in Europe and South America. This year the presence of ATOX could not be missing also in Porto, given the relevance that ATOX has in Europe and having a delegation in Portugal.
The Logistics event in Porto hosted a congress with an extensive program of conferences related to logistics, packaging and storage, where there was no lack of important sections in modern logistics such as multimodal transport, electronic commerce or the future of infrastructures in Portugal.
ATOX showed its wide range of metal racking systems for all types of loads and warehouses: clad-rack warehouses for large distribution centers, conventional pallet racking, drive-in racking, live racking, picking and live picking racks, light boltless racking, etc. . To which must be added solutions for expanding space such as mezzanines or industrial mezzanines and elevated walkways, mobile shelving, cantilever shelving, etc.
Automated racking in Portugal
Along with its industrial racks, the ATOX stand showed the ATOX Soluciones Tecnológicas automations designed to obtain maximum performance in modern warehouses. Those attending this event in Portugal were able to learn about the radio shuttle SHERPA 800, a pallet shuttle system with a careful design down to the last detail and that converts the compact shelving in high-density racking systems, streamlining forklift operations while improving safety.
The light-guided system for pick-to-light and put-to-light operations aroused great interest thanks to its flexibility, which makes it possible to streamline the tasks of warehouse operators both in order preparation and in merchandise replenishment operations, reverse logistics, etc.
Automatic dispensing for automatic order picking using ATOX Disban H automatic dispensers is a highly efficient solution for those warehouses that require very high-speed order preparation, or have work peaks concentrated in certain time slots, as occurs in pharmaceutical logistics, where ATOX Soluciones systems Technological have already demonstrated their great effectiveness.
The roller conveyor designed by ATOX is a highly versatile modular system. It has intelligent motorized roller conveyors, integrated diverters, curved sections without loss of speed, ascent and descent sections. It also supports the incorporation of all types of sensors and can be easily synchronized with any ERP, WMS or management software that is already using the warehouse. The roller conveyors working in coordination with the light-guided system and with the automatic dispensers allow to achieve high levels of performance in the warehouses and play their role as intelligent components in warehouses that wish to evolve towards smart logistics or intelligent logistics.
