The Importance of Safety in Automated Handling
In the world oflogistics automationeffective handling of goods is able, in various ways, to guarantee high production standards, ensuring the safety of both goods and operators involved in automated processes.
Potential risks include collisions between autonomous vehicles, damage to goods, injuries to operators and more.

Handling: what aspects to consider within your automated warehouse
- Safety in the design phase: fin the early design stages of the automated warehouse it is important to integrate systems that pay the utmost attention to safety by incorporating sensors and ad-hoc detection devices that are able to detect the presence of operators and obstacles in the surrounding environment and respond promptly to any dangerous situations. It is also important to organise your warehouse space in such a way as to allow safe movement of both goods and operators;
- Training of operators: operators working in conjunction with automated systems, it is essential that they know how the machines operate so that they are able to work safely and intervene in emergency situations. For this reason, adequate involvement of operators not only in the training phase, but also in the process design phase, is an indispensable factor in the success of a automated warehouse.
- Constant monitoring: lautomated technology offers the opportunity to constantly monitor operations. Sensors and cameras can detect dangerous situations at an early stage and activate preventive safety measures. Real-time monitoring makes it possible to react promptly to unforeseen situations.
- Risk assessment: è It is important to conduct regular risk assessments to identify new threats or weaknesses in automated systems. Security procedures must be reviewed and updated accordingly.
Handling Solutions
The Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) represent a rapidly expanding technology revolutionising the logistics sector and specifically the warehouse sector. Our AGVs, NavilogThrough an inductive power supply system, it ensures the continuity of operations 24/7 without interruption. This translates into total absence of criticalities related to battery charging, disposal, maintenance or performance drops due to deterioration.
These vehicles are designed using sensors, cameras and artificial intelligence to detect the surroundings and automating goods handling activities recurring in absolute safety. We have dealt with this in a separate article called " AGV: advantages of Automated Guided Vehicles" the different existing types of AGVs and how these vehicles can help companies improve their warehouse productivity.
Autonomous mobile robots or AMR collaborate with warehouse operators in handling goods for picking, replenishment or transfer activities more generally. The operations that AMR robots can perform are varied, for example, handling of crates or packages, pallets, racks and racks between the various zones of travel activity taking place at theinside a warehouse.
Operating autonomously, the mobile robots do not require dedicated infrastructure, but integrate perfectly into the existing warehouse layout, adapting dynamically to changes in the environment in which they operate, even in the presence of operators. Errevi offers and integrates a wide range of AMR depending on the characteristics of the product to be handled, such as type of load unit, weight and dimensions.
3. CONVEYORS
We produce conveyor systems, conveyor systemwhich allow the automatic handling of goods within a warehouse.
The wide range of customisable solutions allows the transport of crates, boxes, cartons, trays and pallets. Roller conveyors make it possible to optimise workflows within the warehouse
Why conveying systems are important? They are designed to ensure a smooth and continuous flow of materials and products through your production line. The precision and reliability of our conveyor systems are at the service of your success.
Not only Handling
In summary, the sicurezza, l’handling and technology merge when it comes to automated warehouses. Maintaining the balance between these elements is essential to ensure that operations are efficient and safe, minimising the risk of accidents to operators and damage to goods. As technology continues to advance, the automated warehouses become increasingly reliable and secure, paving the way for a future of more efficient logistics.
Not only Handling...Errevi offers several automated solutions.
