Having workers manually operate storage and retrieval systems to both feed and empty processing machines in a production line has a negative effect on turnover and lastly, profits. STOPA has developed several efficient and highly capable automated handling systems for sheet metal and long bar goods that offer a wide variety of advantages over manual material handling systems. Modular designs allow for adaptation of the automated handling systems to many possible uses, and all of them come with computer-steering that can be integrated with all established processing machines for seamless automated handling. This offers some decisive advantages:

• More turnover, higher profits: faster cycles and precisely coordinated automated handling that handles high quality goods with high quality care.
• Worker safety improvements: workers are no longer required to perform highly repetitive work at all hours of day and night with automated handling systems from STOPA.
• Reduced labour costs: round-the-clock operations are now possible thanks to STOPA automated handling systems, without expensive and large labour-intensive crews.
• Perfect coordination: STOPA automated handling systems are capable of communicating both with all established processing machines as well as with ERP-software and stock management software, providing automated material handling with a high degree of coordination and statistical transparency.
