The logistics sector is constantly evolving and today represents one of the key pillars for companies seeking a competitive advantage. A recent article published by Digital4 highlights the collaboration between Toyota Material Handling Italia and Stesi, two leading players in Italy’s integrated logistics landscape, who share an innovative and strategic vision to address current and future challenges.
Toyota Material Handling Italia, a manufacturer of forklifts, material handling systems, and hardware solutions, has partnered with Stesi, a System Integrator specialized in the design and implementation of integrated logistics software solutions based on advanced technologies and a turnkey approach. As Francesco Pistorello, Head of the Logistics Solutions Business Unit at Toyota Material Handling, points out, the key to success lies in offering holistic, customized solutions that meet the specific needs of clients—going beyond simply supplying products.
The article also explores the concept of Logistics 4.0, where process integration and automation are central. Automation does not mean replacing humans, but rather supporting them: operators equipped with mobile devices and connected to supervisory systems like Stesi’s silwa can manage operations more efficiently, reducing errors and optimizing time. Stefano Cudicio from Stesi emphasizes that digitizing execution processes is becoming essential, with systems increasingly operating independently from manual intervention.
The partnership between Toyota Material Handling Italia and Stesi, active since 2013, has led to the development of innovative solutions, such as assisted driving systems for material handling equipment, significantly enhancing operational efficiency in warehouses. To date, more than 25 joint projects have been completed, demonstrating their ability to tailor solutions across various industries.
In a market increasingly driven by eCommerce, sustainability, and automation, the collaboration between Toyota Material Handling Italia and Stesi stands as a clear example of how integrated and digital logistics can deliver a real competitive edge for Italian businesses.
