As a specialist for conveyor technology, mk has many years of experience with the intralogistics of a wide range of industries. We develop and implement highly flexible components and transport systems for automated material flows, with a focus on short throughput times and high availability.
mk helps companies successfully shape their value stream, including their logistics processes. We offer optimised material flows and state-of-the-art transport systems that are undergoing constant innovation.
mk’s engineering expertise ensures that piece goods are provided, packaged or stored in the right location at the right time. Roller conveyors are the primary system used in this sector, where they serve as buffering and sorting lines for transporting pallets and crates of piece goods.
We also work with our partners and subsidiaries to offer state-of-the-art RFID and barcode technology as well as systems for measuring weight/volume and processing digital images.
A supplier in the automotive industry requires a conveyor system for supplying and removing standardised heavy-weight plastic pallets measuring 1200 x 800 mm. The plastic boxes on these pallets contain aluminium parts to be transported into the gripping area of a robot.
