Reliable plastic containers for automated storage: a critical link in automatic intralogistics

In warehouse automation plastic boxes are an important element. Its geometry, durability, material composition, and compatibility with automatic systems determine the accuracy and speed of cargo movement, smooth operation, and reliability of conveyors, AS/RS, and shuttles.

We chose to partner with iMilani in direct response to what we consistently hear from our customers during automation projects. In modern warehouse logistics, plastic boxes must meet the requirements for working with automatic systems, ensure accurate movement of goods, and withstand intensive use over a long period of time. With an Italian supplier, we deliver exactly that as part of our solution: their plastic boxes are rigorously tested for strength, durability, and dimensional accuracy, and are purpose-built for automation environments. Their customer portfolio includes leading warehouse automation integrators like Dematic, Jungheinrich, Mecalux, and TGW.

We partner with the best – so your logistics work smoothly

This partnership allows us to solve several critical challenges for our customers. So we:

• handle plastic box selection, ensuring 100% compatibility with conveyors, and especially with AS/RS and shuttles – eliminating the risk of disruptions or product damage during automatic movement;
• guarantee high precision and stable automatic transportation of products by roller and belt conveyors thanks to the correct bottom geometry;
• safety first: plastic boxes for automated storage are made from flame-retardant polypropylene (V0 rating), comply with ASTM and ISO standards, and offer antistatic protection;
• maximize operational reliability: each plastic box undergoes testing for strength, flow properties, and deformation resistance in in-house labs of the Italian provider;
• enable accurate load positioning in warehouse robots, thanks to smooth interior surfaces and dimensional consistency;
• help optimize project costs: through consolidated procurement, we supply high-quality, certified European boxes for automatic warehouses at competitive market prices;
• support sustainability: iMilani produces eco-friendly boxes for automatic warehouses made from recycled fishing nets in collaboration with Sea Shepherd Italia, reducing environmental impact.
