Sodeca will optimize its production process with Smartlog’s AutoStore
A success story in the fan industry.
Sodeca, one of the international leaders in the ventilation sector, marks a milestone by deciding to implement the first 425 mm bucket AutoStore with R5+ robots in Spain, supplied by Smartlog. This company stands out for its wide range of solutions offered in industrial ventilation, smoke extraction, stairwell pressurization, and indoor air quality improvement. Currently, Sodeca positions itself as one of the international leaders in the ventilation field, especially recognized for its specialized solutions in fire protection, focusing on the area of smoke evacuation and stairwell pressurization in evacuation routes.
This technological advance redefines logistics automation, transforming Sodeca’s production and significantly optimizing storage and operational efficiency.
Sodeca faces critical challenges in streamlining the production process for small materials, efficient storage of components, and managing limited space in its industrial facilities.
Smartlog proposed the 425 mm bucket AutoStore system with R5+ robots. This robotic system, based on cube storage, allows efficient task management for a variety of products, including those with fast and slow movements, high order volume, and high-density storage needs.
The R5+ robots are based on the iconic R5 technology but have extra capacity to handle bucket sizes, in this case, 425mm. This ensures fast and reliable service, highlighting Sodeca’s dedication to operational excellence.
Being a pioneer makes a difference
Sodeca has not only adopted the 425mm Bucket AutoStore technology with R5+ robots but also becomes the first company in the sector in Spain to implement this revolutionary solution. This achievement highlights its commitment to technological forefront and its constant search for excellence in operational efficiency.
The implementation of Smartlog’s AutoStore system, scheduled for the end of 2024, will not only streamline the production process but also maximize the use of space at the Ripoll (Girona) facilities. The vertical organization of buckets and process automation free up valuable space for other operations.
The ability to store all the components necessary for the production process will significantly improve, facilitating the management of manufacturing orders and reducing search times. This success story is a true reflection of how Smartlog can help companies in the fan industry improve their efficiency and productivity by implementing innovative intralogistics solutions.
The collaboration between Sodeca and Smartlog will significantly transform production, storage, and space management processes. The implementation of the first 425 Bucket AutoStore with R5+ robots in Spain not only meets Sodeca’s specific needs but also sets a standard of innovation in the industry. This success case underlines that operational excellence and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies are fundamental for long-term success in an ever-evolving industrial environment.
