The country's logistics heart
The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) is Argentina's main node of consumption, distribution and foreign trade. Large logistics parks —in areas such as Tigre, Garín, Pilar, Tortuguitas, Esteban Echeverría and the Panamericana / Buenos Aires–La Plata corridor— host distribution centers for retail, e-commerce, food, pharma and auto parts. Pressure on productivity per square meter is maximal: industrial land near the capital is expensive and scarce, making dense automation (AS/RS, shuttle, VLM) the natural answer to grow without relocating or expanding the floor area.
In this context, logistics operators and retail chains in Greater Buenos Aires face very sharp demand peaks (hot sales, commercial dates, cyber events) that require high throughput (many movements per hour sustained by the system) and full traceability. STOKA supports automation projects in Buenos Aires end to end: diagnosis with flow simulation, system sizing, integration with the existing ERP/WMS, installation and after-sales support.
Why STOKA in Buenos Aires
Automation designed for AMBA
- Industrial square meters in Greater Buenos Aires are expensive and scarce: densifying upward avoids relocations and rents that rise at every renewal.
- Dominant load profile: high-rotation picking for e-commerce, retail and mass consumption, with hot sale and cyber event peaks.
- Systems sized with flow simulation so the demand peak doesn't dictate the size of your warehouse all year long.

Questions about automation in Buenos Aires
Does STOKA install automation systems in Greater Buenos Aires?
Yes. STOKA implements ASRS systems, robots and management software in logistics parks and distribution centers across AMBA: Tigre, Garín, Pilar, Tortuguitas, Esteban Echeverría and the Panamericana corridor, among others. Technical support is provided by STOKA's team from its base in Mendoza, and STOKA sources the spare part.
Is it worth automating a depot in Buenos Aires given land costs?
That is exactly where it pays off most. Industrial land near the capital is expensive and scarce, so high-density systems (AS/RS, shuttle, VLM) multiply storage capacity on the same surface, avoiding costly relocations or expansions.
Do the systems handle metropolitan e-commerce demand peaks?
Yes. In the diagnosis phase, STOKA runs a flow simulation that sizes the system for real demand peaks (hot sales, cyber events), guaranteeing the required throughput without oversizing the investment.
