Automatic warehouses to store material: the company core.
In 2004, Tau Metalli decides to twist the internal dealing of the storehouse buying two automatic Warehouses for material storage.
Basically, it is no longer the worker who looks for the material inside the warehouse to prepare the order but a computerized system that searches and hands out the material requested.
The first warehouse is composed of about 2,000 containers to transport 1,500 kg each one. They carry every kind of sheet, round, flat, square, hexagon, tubular, standard profile, etc
The second one is structurally different, it hasn’t got a container but store cells for pallets from different measures up to 2,000 x 4,000 mm, it functions in the same way than the other but it is devoted to sheets and slabs.

Due to the computerized system Tau Metalli can provide at any moment availability, origin, chemical physical and mechanical characteristics as well as the dimensions of every single piece.
The automatic system has in fact eliminated the possibility of error, the computerized bays are constantly linked to the commercial and administrative areas, producing and transmitting full data automatically. Therefore as the movement of the material and the raise of electronic weight is reduced to a minimum, employees are able to work easily and guarantee the client error free data
