CASE STUDY

Pharmaceutical Distribution Center Farla, Viterbo (Italy)

With the introduction of the systems BD Rowa™ Vmax, BD Rowa™ ProLog and BD Rowa™ Order Buffer the cooperative Farla was able to increase the automation rate with an automatic handling of medium and slow moving items.

Our experience with BD Rowa™ was excellent, from the consulting service to project planning, from the installation to the customer care. We chose BD Rowa™ for its performance in line with our objectives and especially for the compactness and scalability of the solution.
