SILOs
are particularly useful for efficient access to very large file or book collections.
Electroclass's most prestigious SILO site is surely the DON
BOSCO LIBRARY, associated with the Università Pontificia Salesiana
" The Silo is the completely automatic archive management
system that can quite legitimately be considered as the heart of the library. It
is an operational depot for 250 thousand units (extendable to 500 thousand) and
that allows all texts to be accessible with a delivery time in the order of 30 ".
The SILO has however been put to use in many environments where high density filing and efficient document retrieval are required : pension rights in the military or in professional associations, medical records in hospitals, registries in courts - anywhere where important documents need safekeeping and easy access.
