Solera takes a leap into automation with AutoStore implementation in Paterna

At Solera, we’ve been delivering reliable, safe, and efficient electrical solutions for over 50 years. Our commitment to quality and continuous improvement drives us to evolve across all areas of our business. That’s why we’re proud to announce the launch of a new milestone in our logistics operations: the implementation of the AutoStore system at our logistics hub in Paterna, Valencia, in collaboration with Smartlog, experts in intralogistics automation.

Greater efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility in order management

This new system marks our entry into automated logistics, with a clear objective: optimizing order preparation for our medium-consumption product lines. The installation includes 5 high-speed robots and 5,326 storage bins, enabling us to maximize available space, streamline operations, and significantly improve inventory accuracy.

What’s more, the system features two versatile carousel ports that handle both inbound and outbound operations, offering a high degree of flexibility in our daily logistics workflow.

A project built for the future

With Galys, our warehouse management software, we ensure seamless integration between platforms, allowing us to maintain continuous operation 16 hours a day with no disruptions.

Thanks to its scalable design, the AutoStore solution positions us to adapt to future growth without the need for physical warehouse expansion.

Putting technology at the service of people

Beyond operational performance, we value the positive impact this project has on our team. Automating repetitive tasks reduces physical strain on our employees, enhances workplace ergonomics, and frees up time to focus on more value-added activities.

Additionally, the system’s low energy consumption helps reduce our environmental footprint and operating costs, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.

"The AutoStore implementation is a milestone in our logistics innovation strategy. Our collaboration with Smartlog has enhanced our picking speed and accuracy, and it sets the stage for a seamless ERP transition."
Rafel Cot, Logistics Director at Solera

With this investment, we reaffirm our commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement. We're better equipped than ever to meet future challenges and continue delivering top-tier service to our distributors and customers.
