THE HISTORY OF AUTOMHA

FRANCO TOGNIAUTOMHA PRESIDENT

“Looking forward,courage and precision”

Ever since, towards the end of the 1970s, I started marketing material handling systems and solutions that were custom-designed and built in-house, I have had first-hand experience of that one technological innovation that has revolutionised logistics, rendering it a strategic element of the production-distribution chain.Now, I have a vast, efficient, tight-knit team beside me, as well as my two children.From conveyor belts, “Fluens Fabbrica”, to the idea of the completely automated warehouse, and the search for the vertical dimension, “Surgens in eccelsis”.From the idea, we moved onto the project and to our first creations. We immediately realised that the future of our project was in foreign markets.And so, at 50 years of age, I learned English.There are no limits if you want to improve. We seek to become the inventors of the simplest, most high-performance machines from a technological point of view.

We created the AUTOSAT shuttle, “Motu Proprio”. And then SUPERCAP.Speed, precision, performance. More picking, more stowage. A leap forward, a generational shift. The future is being built today, looking forward. Human beings, goods, information, machines, systems, solutions, services. There is only one path, and that is the path towards integration. “Forma Mentis”. Between the factory and the market, there is the sprawling kingdom of logistics, a middle ground, where the weapons of integration and automation are the true competitive factors, capable of making the supply chain efficient.The product and Italian technology have an uncommon value in this, a special capacity for innovation and technical creativity. Innovation - that is, inventions - to improve on what already exists.Precision, to go from an idea to its realisation. Passion, to overcome problems. And responsibility, to respect a commitment.We work for the world of tomorrow, but the values of the past are what push us forward.

“It is not enough to solve your every need, we want to satisfy your desire”

A FAMILY BUSINESS COMPANY

AUTOMHA: Made in Italy technology for intralogistics

Since 1979, AUTOMHA, a leading factory in the automated warehouse sector, has been developing a significant amount of experience and expertise. Currently capable of engineering specific solutions for every storage sector, it responds optimally to the different needs that come with the various applications (according to size, performance and storage methods, picking and operating conditions).

The company philosophy is based on the principle of the fully automated warehouse: the idea of picking loading units without the need for a human operator has always been the challenge that has fascinated our founder, Franco Togni. The first prototypes date back to 2002; whilst in 2010, we created a battery-free vehicle equipped with a

supercapacitor capable of charging the shuttle in just a few seconds for each operation: in 2015, this project received an honourable mention from the Compasso d’Oro International Award for Design. Since then, the company has developed increasingly engineered products for pioneering systems and solutions that are personalised according to each client’s requirements.

AUTOMHA follows the client at every stage: from the design to the creation and installation of the system, taking care of every detail, mechanical electrical and software. All our products and systems are designed to suit even the most challenging of industries; as such, our machinery and solutions are able to maintain the same level of performance at a temperature range of -30°C to +55°C. This has allowed AUTOMHA to gain a strategic advantage in the field of frozen foods and in the hottest and most humid geographic areas.AUTOMHA is also recognised as the best provider for the textile industry at an international level.

perspective of the circular economy, where time is the decisive dimension. Automation is the result of ideas, inventions, implementations that are part of its technical heritage and which have been enhanced over the last 40 years with contributions from new sciences, such as electronics, information technology and mechatronics.

AUTOMHA, thanks to its team of designers and its own products, systems and solutions, engineers constraints into opportunities, designing every logistical measure based on the specific requirements of the client for every storage industry: food&beverage, electromechanics, distribution centre, pharmaceuticals and, exclusively, the frozen food and textiles sectors.

WHY CHOOSE AUTOMHA

A constant focus on research into new technologies; a wide range of products developed, manufactured, assembled and tested internally, from the mechanics to the electronics, from the software to the design.

AUTOMHA is always at the forefront in the search for the best internal logistics solutions, always finding the best investment for its customers. Structured to be by the client’s side in all stages, from the warehouse analysis and design phase to the important phases of after-sales service, staff training and maintenance of the investment.

AUTOMHA provides the appropriate solution to any and all intralogistic efficiency improvement needs: goods are treated like information, with speed and precision, in the

Innovation and customisation: a winning combination at the service of the client

AUTOMHA PRODUCTS ARE A PERFECT COMBINATION OF TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN

FRESH AND FROZEN

AUTOMHA is the first company in the field of intralogistics to have designed and patented fully-automated systems capable of maintaining the same performance at a temperature range of -30°C to +55°C.

The careful study of electrics, electronics and mechanics has allowed us to design technical solutions specifically for this sector. This has led to an improvement in the level of safety of both companies and operators, who are no longer required to work in cold storage on a daily basis. Add to this the great flexibility of our systems, which allows quick and efficient communication with other production departments in the company.

FOOD&BEVERAGE

AUTOMHA systems, designed and created 100% internally, allow for extremely high performance levels, compliant with any warehouse logic and anyindustry needs.

For the world of FOOD&BEVERAGE, AUTOMHA’s systems are designed for the handling of delicate goods which are liable to break (jars, bottles, etc.) or deteriorate. The machines guarantee extreme precision of movement and the AWM warehouse management software system ensures proper handling in compliance with expiry and production dates.

TEXTILE

The extreme flexibility and customisation of this industry have not stopped AUTOMHA; on the contrary, we have made these aspects our winning characteristics. The technical team has developed solutions that are able to manage unusual loading units, such as rolls and coils, all with different weights and sizes.

The continuous search for solutions designed to fully satisfy the needs of clients has led AUTOMHA to create the world’s largest automated warehouse for fabric rolls.

TAILOR-MADE SOLUTIONSFOR ALL INDUSTRIAL SECTORS

ALL AUTOMHA SOLUTIONS HAVE THE SAME FOCUS: THE OPTIMISATION OF SPACE, TIME AND COSTS

20 21

DISTRIBUTION CENTER/3PL

Precision, speed and traceability.

These are the three main features requested by large retail clients. AUTOMHA researches and develops projects for extremely large warehouses which handle extremely high cycles and different items.The ability to swiftly fulfil orders and keep the whole production and logistical chain traced make AUTOMHA solutions particularly well-suited to the new frontiers of e-commerce.

Warehouses equipped with AUTOSAT technology are the best solution for the diversification of stocked loading units, typical of 3PL logistics management.

PHARMACEUTICALS

AUTOMHA’s extremely precise solutions, which are safe and suitable for working at controlled temperatures, perfectly match the needs of the pharmaceutical industry.

Automation makes it possible to easily manage work organised over 24 hours, thereby reducing both the costs and the time needed to manage order fulfilment or warehouse reorganisation.

Particularly important for this sector is compliance with the management and production processes dictated by regulations regarding certification of excellence for pharmaceutical management.

ELECTROMECHANICS

The warehouse is the beating heart of the company, especially for any clients who manage large quantities of items, frequent movements and heavy loading units.

Even for companies that need to manage the storage of small components, AUTOMHA has created optimal “miniload” solutions that are capable of maximising the picking and refilling activities typical of the electromechanical and manufacturing sectors.
