Salmoiraghi developed a complete “from chuck to truck” automated handling process suitable for any winding equipment and man-made fibre type (POY-FDY-PFY-HDY-DTY-IY-GLASSFIBRE)
The results obtained by the installation of Salmoiraghi solutions are:
• Total elimination of manual handling, leading to immediate and significant improvement of finished product quality
• Sharp reduction of labour costs guaranteeing fast Return on Investment

• Fully computerised operation affording real-time system control, comprehensive data processing and reporting facilities, absolute data integrity, and just-in-time flexibility.
To complete its portfolio of solutions dedicated to the automation of logistics process in the textile sector, Salmoiraghi has engineered and installed Automatic Warehouses and Handling Systems for Fabric Rolls
After a careful analysis of Client’s requirements, the Salmoiraghi engineering division designed a system for automating all involved logistics processes, starting from the receiving of incoming fabric rolls, their identification by means of RFID technology, their storage in the warehouse, the management of customer’s orders (from the retrieval of the single roll from its storage location to the palletization of the rolls on Customer’s pallets).
CROSS (Compact Rolls Storage System), this is the name of the Salmoiraghi automatic system dedicated to fabric rolls, comprises the following main tasks:
• Receiving of rolls from production packing line.
• Roll identification, shape check and weighing.
• Rejection of non-conformal products.
• Automatic Storage of produced rolls.
• Automatic Retrieval of rolls stored in the system.
• Printing of Customer’s shipping label.
• Deliver the rolls to the Container/Truck docking bays as per system requirements.
• Re-entry of rolls (overflow / external flow) from shipping area to AS/RS.
• Inventory Management System.
CROSS direct benefits are:
• Fast and flexible operation due to the optimisation of the Store-in/Store-out, sorting and packing operations, guaranteeing “just-in-time” capability required by today’s highly demanding market.
• Each fabric roll stored in its own position
• Each roll handled individually
• Compliance with storage standard such as FIFO and A, B, C etc.
• Optimal utilisation of the available storage volume.
• System design and implementation is open for future requirements dictated by the fast-changing market situation.
• The system offers significant advantages in terms of productivity and streamlining of the supply chain, allowing the Clients to be highly competitive and obtain important savings
