Lannutti has chosen Italcarrelli's logistic solutions for its new hub in Mornimont, Belgium.
This warehouse covers an area of 60,000m² and stores enormous quantities of flat glass on over 300 storage positions for jumbo racks and 500 stowages. ITALCARRELLI, a long-time partner of Lannutti, was chosen to supply all the machines, both for handling glass packs and racks.
For handling glass packs between racks and stowages, ITALCARRELLI EN4L 160 side-loaders with a capacity of 16t were provided, which, thanks to automation and cutting-edge technological solutions, allow a single operator to unload or load all the glass packs from a rack very quickly in just 2 manipulations and with maximum safety.
For managing jumbo racks, given the high daily traffic (over 200 movements per day), the ITALCARRELLI PTN 330 LGV, innovative 33t autonomous guided transporters entirely conceived, developed, and built by Italcarrelli, were chosen.
The supply of these machines was also complemented with the innovative ITALCARRELLI BES, a station that fully autonomously and automatically manages the charging and changing of batteries on Italcarrelli AGV vehicles. In addition to the supply of machines and automation, Italcarrelli also provided its RICU software, an app developed by Italcarrelli that includes WMS functionalities for managing both autonomous guided machines and the warehouse.

Thanks to these choices, the client has been able to benefit from all the advantages derived from using autonomous guidance in terms of activity planning, warehouse management and digitization, staff optimization, and increased safety.
With this project, Italcarrelli and Lannutti have created the world's first flat glass logistics hub automated with LGV inloader transporters.
ITALCARRELLI TPEN transporters allow for easy loading of glass into the autoclave.
In the laminated glass manufacturing process, loading glass into the autoclave is a very delicate and dangerous operation, especially with jumbo glass sizes. ITALCARRELLI TPEN transporters make this operation very easy by picking up the rack directly from the end of the laminated line and depositing it directly into the autoclave.
Like all ITALCARRELLI machines, these transporters can be customized in terms of platform dimensions, for LES glass racks (3,210mm), jumbo (6,000mm), and XXL jumbo (9,000mm and beyond), as well as load capacity, ranging from 15-30tons to over 60tons.
Thanks to many years of experience in automation and autonomous guided vehicles, Italcarrelli has developed an innovative semi-automatic guidance solution to further simplify and significantly increase safety during autoclave loading. The system is based on LGV technology, widely used by ITALCARRELLI in autonomous guided machines, allowing for automatic and highly precise path following to the destination, in this case, inside the autoclave.
The operator simply needs to guide the machine near the autoclave and enable semi-automatic guidance, from which point the system will automatically manage the machine’s guidance until the rack is unloaded inside the autoclave, with the operator serving only a supervisory role.

With LGV semi-automatic guidance, autoclave loading is performed with maximum safety and without the risk of collisions due to incorrect maneuvers.
