Automated inter process Material Handling conveyors for manufacturing lines and factories

Product flow through manufacturing is the determinant of efficiency

It sets manufacturing cycle time and Work-in-Process.

Our inter process material handling gains 30% in cycle time over discrete Work-in-Process transports through autonomous, collision less, soft accumulating workflow.

Examples: Replacing or augmenting
over head vehicle lines
or guided vehicles

Our Inter Process Material Handling improves:

  • Manufacturing Cycle Time (CT)
  • Throughput Capacity (CY)
  • Inter Process Delivery (T)
  • Work in Process Content (W)
  • And Over all Costs (C)

Via direct, independent work flow on single conveyor lines or conveyor networks

Industries of the application

Typical Areas of Application:

  • In factories with manual material handling
  • As add on to existing production lines and factories with discrete vehicle material transports
  • In new factories as standalone conveyor transports
  • In new factories to parallel the discrete vehicle transports with conveyors


Our 50 years of experience includes industries as:

  • Semiconductors
  • Data storage media manufacturing
  • Pharma
  • Medical devices
  • Chemical industry (bulk materials)
  • Automated assembly
  • Order sort/Warehouse
Industries of the application

OUR SUPER (ROBOTIC) CONVEYORS:

Are capable of transferring, accumulating, and storing a product as individual independent products with independent destinations without interference. Configuring such super conveyors into a network achieves unprecedented productivity gains.


WHAT A SUPERCONVEYOR IS NOT:

Such a conveyor is not really a conveyor in the common sense.
