Smart logistics for injection molding production

Flex­i­ble mate­r­ial flow automa­tion with opti­mized space uti­liza­tion and con­tainer exchange at the same position

High space uti­liza­tion in injec­tion mould­ing pro­duc­tion requires care­ful plan­ning and implemen­tation of automa­tion solu­tions. By using autonomous and mobile logis­tics robots, you focus on your core busi­ness: pro­duc­tion — we take care of the trans­port tasks.

In injec­tion mould­ing pro­duc­tion, opti­mized use of space is often given by a max­i­mum num­ber of injec­tion mould­ing machines. A high trans­port capac­ity of the KLTs per trip, increases the effi­ciency of the sup­ply and relieves the traf­fic of mobile robots.

Another suc­cess fac­tor is the con­tainer exchange at the machine. Here, automa­tion solu­tions must be designed to reli­ably deliver and remove con­tain­ers at dif­fer­ent heights and in dif­fer­ent ori­en­ta­tions with­out dis­rupt­ing the machine’s pro­duc­tion flow.

High labor costs

Process opti­mi­sa­tion and invest­ments in automa­tion con­tinue to be the answers to ris­ing labor costs. This will ensure the company’s prof­itabil­ity in the future.

Skills short­age

Demo­graphic change is exac­er­bat­ing the short­age of skilled work­ers. Pro­duc­tion processes that require a wide range of skills and qual­i­fi­ca­tions are par­tic­u­larly affected.

Ergonom­ics

In shift work, the phys­i­cal stresses quickly add up. This is an essen­tial fac­tor for employee sat­is­fac­tion. Mate­r­ial automa­tion par­al­lel to humans offers a rem­edy here.

Human resources

Flex­i­ble work­ing and pro­duc­tion mod­els require a great deal of plan­ning. Intel­li­gent automa­tion offers the nec­es­sary flex­i­bil­ity. For exam­ple, for shift oper­a­tions, waves of ill­ness or the intro­duc­tion of new products.

Intel­li­gent con­tainer exchange at the injec­tion mould­ing machine is a deci­sive step towards logis­tics automation.

Individual solutions for new logistics processes.

Analy­sis

The first step is to find out whether our robots are suit­able for automat­ing your pro­duc­tion logistics.

Spec­i­fi­ca­tion

How should the robot be inte­grated into the cus­tomer process? What hur­dles are there, what adjust­ments need to be made? Together we work out the solution. 

Inte­gra­tion

After detailed plan­ning, the inte­gration takes place on site. Here, final adjus­tments are made to the real environ­ment so that robots and processes run smoothly.

Scal­ing

Once set up, the robot fleet can be expanded into the exist­ing processes and IT, in a flex­i­ble way, accord­ing to demand and achiev­ing econ­omy of scale.
