Challenge

The need for an automatic warehouse that meets their production and logistical requirements to manage just-in-time orders for the tailoring sector and optimize storage capacity, order fulfillment speed, and operational safety. The existing warehouse had performance, spare parts, and reliability issues, making structural and technological intervention necessary.

Solution

LCS carried out a complete revamping of the automatic yarn warehouse, introducing advanced mechanical and software solutions to improve capacity, efficiency, and operational flexibility:
  • Expansion of storage capacity with a new building and the addition of 2 new stackers, bringing the total capacity to 5,130 pallet positions
  • Replacement and optimization of internal and external conveyors to increase the performance of handling circuits
  • Introduction of a new recirculation loop and picking/counter-picking carousels to improve order management
  • Adoption of a double shuttle to optimize the entire handling system
  • Complete overhaul of the management software (LogiWare) to ensure smooth integration with the company information system
  • Preparation for future expansions of the handling circuit on the warping side

Key technical data

  • Pre-revamping storage capacity: 3,024 pallet positions
  • Post-revamping storage capacity: 5,130 pallet positions
  • Number of stackers: from 3 to 5
  • New handling units: double shuttle, picking carousels, recirculation loop
  • Management software: LogiWare, updated for new handling and data communication functionalities

Vitale Barberis Canonico, a prestigious Italian textile manufacturer with centuries of heritage, commissioned LCS Group to design a premium automated warehouse at its historic production site — combining operational efficiency with the refined aesthetics of its luxury brand identity.

The project optimized storage of fabric rolls and finished products through high-density modular racking and a goods-to-man flow design, minimizing unnecessary operator movements while mechanized systems deliver materials directly to picking stations.

The facility is powered by LogiWare and LogiCON, which manage real-time inventory, inbound/outbound flows, and stock rotation. The intuitive interface enables staff to work faster and more accurately, reducing waste and maximizing productivity.

Beyond efficiency, the warehouse was designed with attention to premium aesthetics: elegant finishes, carefully designed lighting, and high-end materials, reflecting the company’s artisanal heritage and luxury positioning.

The new warehouse allows Vitale Barberis Canonico to operate an automated, efficient, and brand-consistent logistics system, demonstrating how technology, tradition, and design can merge to create a world-class intralogistics solution.
