Hello,
My name is Javier Ferrer reference partner of the
company JFA Modelos Informáticos S.L. (1989).
We started 20 years ago to develop original control and
management systems for steel coil warehouses with
renowned success worldwide.

www.ubix.es
I have the pleasure of anticipating a summary of a more extensive presentation that we
could submit to your assessment in a future demonstration of UBIx at your facilities.

I hope a few flashes will give you an idea of the success of UBIx’s first installation at
the ThyssenKrupp Galmed’s warehouses (470.000 Tn/year) in the Port of Sagunto –
Valencia, after 3 years of R&D&i (2008-2010).

UBIx is not just what you will see as a high productivity system, but a new art in
warehouse management. UBIx has proven to be a BAT (Best Available Technology) for
the Hot Rolled Steel, Galvanizing, Pickling Plants and Steel Service Centers. I am
looking forward to show you its excellence.

Javier Ferrer
