Intralogistics Handling: Interroll looks to the future

Digitalisation is transforming intralogistics, making internal processes more efficient, scalable, and sustainable in terms of physical automation and the smarter, more integrated management of data, operational flows, and resources.
The digital transformation of the industry extends well beyond the common concept of mobile robotics, encompassing a complex network of interconnected technologies that enhance visibility, control and decision-making capabilities.

Warehouses are getting smarter

Automated solutions for storing and retrieving goods are becoming increasingly popular, with smart shelving and scaffolding systems that optimise space and improve access to materials.
Smart sensors, also connected to form IoT (Internet of Things) solutions, play a crucial role in collecting real-time data on inventory, environmental conditions (such as temperature and humidity) and machinery status. This data is then analysed to improve operational management.
Integrated and harmonising digital technologies within warehouse management systems (WMS) and intralogistics flows provide a comprehensive view of logistics operations, improving planning and reducing waste. Completing this overview are digital twin technology, cloud computing and big data, all contributing to the growing integration of digital technologies that support the foundation of intralogistics: movement.
“Interroll has always invested heavily in the research and development of advanced solutions”, says Claudio Carnino, Managing Director of Interroll Italy. “Our goal is to transform traditional handling by working closely with customers and end users, offering solutions that improve the dynamic management of material flow. By increasing modularity and scalability, we aim to optimise time, improve safety, reduce operating costs and promote greater flexibility. Simply put, digitisation must bring intelligence to movement systems by integrating with Industry 4.0 frameworks, enabling continuous communication with other digital technologies in the warehouse—the backbone of an interconnected logistics ecosystem”.
