Automated profile handling for window, door and facade construction

KASTOfenestra combines storage, order picking and material supply into a seamless process. This ensures that profiles are available at the right time, ready for the next processing step.

Automatic long-length storage systems and flexible station solutions provide a clear overview of stock levels, reduce manual transport distances and support stable production processes.

Where profile handling ties up time and capacity

Wide variety of variants

Different materials, geometries and lengths make it difficult to maintain an overview and allocate items correctly.

Time-consuming order picking

Searching, sorting and preparing items tie up staff and delay downstream processes.

Picking errors & lack of transparency

Unclear stock levels lead to delays, incorrect picks and interruptions.

Risk of surface damage

Frequent manual handling increases the risk of damaging sensitive surfaces.

Optimise profile handling with KASTOfenestra

Ensuring transparency

It is easier to keep track of stock levels and material movements. This reduces search times, picking errors and interruptions in the flow of materials.

Reduce the workload

Profile materials are stored in a more organised manner, picked more efficiently and made available as required. This reduces the need for manual handling and takes the strain off valuable staff.

Stabilising processes

Even with a wide variety of variants, processes remain clear and manageable. KASTOfenestra supports space-saving, ergonomic and reliable production in the window, door and facade construction sectors.

Already over 50 projects worldwide

KASTOfenestra is used by leading companies in the window, door and facade construction sectors.

This is how TIR automates the storage of its aluminium profiles

At TIR Technologies, the combination of an automated honeycomb storage system and the KASTOfenestra ensures a continuous flow of materials.

Aluminium profiles are stored in a space-saving manner, retrieved specifically for each order and efficiently transferred to the next processing stages. In this way, TIR reduces manual handling and creates greater transparency in production.

Station-based solutions for your material flow

KASTOfenestra’s station solutions support individual process steps in profile handling – from storage and retrieval, through order picking, to sorting and ergonomic delivery. Each station performs a specific task in the material flow and can be deployed to suit the production process.

The most suitable solution depends on your profiles, processing steps, space constraints and transport routes. KASTO draws on its experience from numerous projects during the planning stage and uses this to develop a solution that meets your individual requirements and fits in with your existing processes.
