The company produces different types of textile and loom machines used mainly in the Chinese textile industry. Furthermore, ITEMA China has a help center with and independent start-up that guarantees maintenance services.

The company turned to Automha to resolve the problem with its production space: with limited space, caused by the presence of a large number of goods of which the management is difficult, it was complicated for the employees to find and withdraw the various materials.

For this solution, Automha decided to use the Heavy Tower, an automated vertical storage system of long items, metal sheets and carpets, guaranteeing an elevated load capacity. Six Heavy Towers were installed for the storage and handling of load units, from and toward the working bays.

What are the advantages? ITEMA, thanks to the system proposed and planned by Automha, that responds to the principal “goods to the operator”, it was able to resolve diverse problems tied to the reduced size of the warehouse: now the spaces are optimized, guaranteeing an elevated capacity over minimal surface area. The operators have all the information available about the state of the goods at every moment, registered by the control system, and assisted by the handling of material and the management of the warehouse.
