Zuccato – Food and Beverage

Improved label management with Vertimag vertical storage systems

Process automation with Vertimag vertical storage systems ensures more tidiness, more cleanliness and proper storage of materials in the production department.

Zuccato is a leading Italian company in the preserved vegetable market.

Founded at the end of the 19th century as a small food shop, during the 20th century it intensified production and distribution activities while always managing the entire product processing cycle in-house.

Over the years, the company has invested heavily in innovation and reorganization. The historic facilities in the province of Vicenza were recently replaced by a modern technological production hub that today processes more than 10,000 tonnes of vegetables per year thanks to state-of-the-art, highly automated processing and quality-control systems.

Orderly and safe label management with Vertimag

Labels play a key role in the food sector. In addition to making products recognizable, they contain essential information for end consumers. Proper storage and protection are therefore critical.

Compared with traditional static racking, where materials risk becoming dirty or damaged, Vertimag automatic vertical storage systems provide a safer storage environment and better protection. As part of its continuous process-improvement strategy, Zuccato adopted two Vertimag storage systems to organize label storage for its entire product range.

The countless advantages of automation for the food industry

Switching to an automated label storage system has delivered not only greater order and cleanliness but also fewer errors, improved traceability and more accurate inventory management.

Operators can perform picking and placing activities more quickly and efficiently while maintaining high standards of safety and ergonomics thanks to the design and accessibility of the storage systems.
