To process returns, a logistics service provider needs a very long, circulating belt conveyor. The returns are packed in standardised boxes and are to be conveyed in a circuit. The boxes are removed manually from a continuous conveyor belt, processed and put back on the conveyor belt.
A manufacturer of polystyrene insulation boxes, which are used worldwide, wants to keep its boxes in circulation and reuse them multiple times. To assist with this, a partner company is building testing machines in which the used boxes are checked fully automatically.
A manufacturer of office supplies has bought a new cutting machine for the production of files. The machine must be integrated into the production hall and linked to the existing conveyor technology.
An assembly line for steering gears requires a partially automated material feed for manual workstations. The challenge – the material feed has to be integrated into an existing hall with very limited space. The workers use an existing pallet circulation system.
Our partner Quickmove, a manufacturer of overhead conveyor systems, needs a transfer station from an overhead conveyor to a manual workstation and back for a customer in the automotive industry.
