2012-03-14
Founded in 1985, Unifast Srl is based in Settimo Torinese near Turin, Italy and provides efficient and cost effective technical fasteners to engineers seeking mechanical assembly solutions across a broad spectrum of industries.
Unifast manufactures quick acting fasteners and captive nuts in addition to a wide range of special products. It sees its success in re-engineering existing or obsolete parts to simplify processes, improve functionality and reduce both production times and costs. The company now employs 30 people including customer service staff, a technical engineering sales team and CAD designers.
In a bid to guarantee customers the highest quality of products and services, Unifast has built a modern manufacturing facility capable of producing and supplying consistently high quality fasteners and custom engineering components.
A strong point of the company is the use of an automatic warehouse system called Silo, which has shifting trays for storage of a huge variety of small to medium size items. Unlike more traditional automatic vertical storage systems, Unifast’s eight silos offer perfect adaptability to the needs of a warehouse and reduce picking times. Once they have the packing list, the operators check the location of the goods on the attached computer, request them and wait for the silo to bring them down. A dedicated software program, compatible with the company's internal system, allows handling and controlling while maintaining both maximum storage order and precise information.
Benefits include: compactness, maximum and quick use of vertical spaces, reduced operating costs, automation of the goods in/goods out, time saving, elimination of forklift traffic, operator safety, protection from dust, and impeding unauthorised access.
