Eight installations of the technology we integrate, across seven industries and on other continents. STOKA took part in none of them: they are published to show what the technology does and under what conditions it works. Our own projects go in the second block, with names and with figures measured on site, as clients authorize us to publish them.
STOKA
Plainly
Why there are no named clients here yet
For two reasons, and neither is a shortage of projects. The first: publishing a client's name and numbers requires their written authorization, and we do not have it from anyone yet. A reference used without permission is a legal problem for whoever publishes it and a discourtesy to whoever it happened to.
The second is technical. A result without a prior measurement is not a result, it is an impression. To claim that an operation improved by 40% you have to have measured before, with the same method, over a comparable period. Where that baseline does not exist, the percentage is chosen rather than calculated.
We do not apologize for this and we do not promise a date. What follows is what can be verified today.
What can be proven does not depend on what the building is called.
Technology we integrate
Installations of the technology we integrate
They are works by the manufacturers we work with. STOKA took part in none of them: they are listed to show the reach of the technology, not as our own work.

Textile / CarpetsThailand
Automated warehouse for high-volume carpet manufacturer
Leading textile manufacturer · Asia Pacific
AS/RS Unit-Load + Stacker Crane
A large-scale carpet manufacturer needed to triple storage capacity without expanding floor area. A 4-crane double-mast ASRS with WMS integrated to the existing ERP was implemented.

Relevance for Latin AmericaIndustrial parks in Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Rosario with serial production can implement this model to reduce WIP and improve OEE.
We do not publish these companies’ names because we do not have authorization to do so. Each entry states the industry, the country and the system installed; once we have the authorization, it will state the name as well.
Without a case
What you can verify today
Four things that do exist, and that you can review before deciding anything.
The method, stage by stage
The five stages of a project, what STOKA does in each one, what it needs from you and what you receive when it closes.
And a concrete answer to your concrete case, within 24 business hours: whether there is anything to evaluate, which data is missing and what the next step would be.
Demonstration
The simulator on the home page
The home page has a three-dimensional simulator showing how a warehouse changes at each step: what happens when you organize it, what happens when you optimize it and what happens when you automate it.
It is a visual demonstration, with reference movements and geometry. It is not a simulation of your operation and not a projection of your results: it does not have your data. Final specifications for any equipment are those on its manufacturer's data sheet.
These five questions work for judging a case published by anyone, STOKA included. They are not an accusation against anyone: they are what has to be answerable for a number to mean something.
1
Against what baseline is it measured?
A -40% requires a prior value measured with the same method. If the baseline is a recollection, the percentage was chosen.
2
Over what period?
A peak season compared against a slow month produces any improvement you like. The period has to be declared and comparable.
3
How much of the result comes from the system and how much from the reorganization that preceded it?
Almost every automation project starts by cleaning up inventory and redefining storage locations. That part improves on its own, and it tends to be counted as the equipment's merit.
4
Who took the measurement?
It is not the same whether the supplier, the client or a third party measured it. None of those invalidates the case; not saying which one does.
5
What did not improve?
Every project has something that did not go as planned. A case where everything improved is a brochure.
Commitment
What we will publish once there is a STOKA case
Written in advance, so it can be held against us later.
The starting situation, measured before beginning and with the method declared.
The exact scope of what was done, and what was left out.
The period of the later measurement, comparable with the baseline.
The result, measured with the same method as the baseline.
What did not improve, or what turned out differently than planned.
The client's written authorization to publish it.
No date: it depends on a client authorizing it. A case without a baseline is not a case, and we are not going to publish one to fill this page.
SCOPE
What these projects are and where they come from
Proven technology
The technology we integrate operates in more than 30 countries, with more than 1,000 installations and more than 20 years of manufacturing track record. These are figures from the manufacturers we work with, not from STOKA.
A single point of contact
Engineering, assembly and service are the same team. Based in Mendoza, Argentina, with projects across Latin America.
STOKA projects
Projects carried out by STOKA
We do not publish any project of our own yet: we do not have one authorized by its client. When we do, it will be here with the name, the date, what was measured before, what was measured after and how it was measured. In the meantime, what you can verify today is how we work: the assessment of your operation is done with your data and at no cost.
Frequently asked questions
Because publishing a client's name and numbers requires their written authorization, and we do not have it from anyone yet. When we do, the case will be published with the prior measurement, the period and the scope in plain sight.
No. They belong to the manufacturer we work with and are labeled as such: more than 1,000 installations in more than 30 countries and five continents, with more than 20 years of manufacturing history. STOKA designs, imports, installs, integrates and supports.
A reference call also requires the client's consent, so it is arranged case by case and never offered in advance. Write to us and we will tell you clearly what we can arrange in your situation.
By the method and by the answer to your specific case: what data we ask for, what we conclude from it and what we propose. If what you need is not something we can solve well, we say so before you invest time.
The starting situation measured, the scope of what was done, the period, the result with the same measurement method and what did not improve. With the client's written authorization. A case without a baseline is not a case.
