Careers
Alumasa, a company dedicated to the coating and manufacture of aluminum coils cast from recycled material, is building a self-supporting automated warehouse. This forms part of the new expansion of its plant in Badajoz, Spain, where it produces 44,100 tons of raw and coated aluminum every year. Managed by Easy WMS, the warehouse will be automatically connected to the coating lines.
To connect the warehouse with the coating plant, two 16.4-foot-high bridges will be built on the side of the warehouse, while automatic conveyors will be installed inside it to transport the paint drums. With capacity for 4,856 pallets, the new self-supporting facility will have a single 328-foot-long aisle. An automated stacker crane will operate in it, moving pallets weighing up to 1.3 tons. Pallet entries and exits will be carried out at the front of the facility.
Easy WMS will manage product locations and movement flows based on demand. The software will ensure that paint is supplied to each coating line at the right time.
This new warehouse will enable Alumasa to speed up logistics operations in its coating plant and to enhance its supply chain as a whole. And it will do this while maintaining the necessary conditions to provide quality products that satisfy its end customers.
We have two main aims with the construction of this automated warehouse. On the one hand, to optimize the movement and storage of raw material, cutting goods transit times and minimizing the use of forklifts. On the other, we want to improve warehouse management to control stock in real time, shorten manufacturing times, and respond quickly to customers’ needs.
