Turn Your Biggest Headaches Into Opportunities
Your operation faces major hurdles with one of the most complex supply chains in the world.
Increasing importance on health & safety and quality
Safe operations is paramount across all stages of the automotive industry supply chain.
How can you help increase safety and reduce incidents?
-
Delivering kits just in time & just in sequence to reduce line side operator errors.
-
Adopt the ‘Milk Run’ concept and deliver kits faster.
-
Reduce unnecessary stock build up at assembly lines.
Driverless tow tractor & tugger train systems for production lines secure faster, flexible, precision-timed deliveries and contributes to improving quality.
Push for greater sustainability efforts
Automotive manufacturers are early adopters of technology, and more efficient, greener power options are always on the top of their innovation list.
The need for reliable cost efficient clean energy is of top priority
-
Maximize sustainability through alternative power sources in your lift trucks
-
Enhance useful battery life with less recharging time
-
Eliminate robust and costly battery change infrastructures
Lithium ion batteries have longer useful life, reduced recharging time, energy consumption, and recycling waste.
Fleet optimisation & operational efficiency
Ensuring the fleet is right for the operation is of great importance across the automotive supply chain.
The right truck type, size and mix optimise operation efficiency and minimise TCO
- Reduce maintenance disruptions and operational downtime
- Establish appropriate maintenance plan and reduce unnecessary costs
- Extend useful life of your equipment and optimise productivity
Fleet management program can help right-size lift truck fleet, establish appropriate maintenance plan and help extend useful life of equipment.
Just-In-Time and Just-In-Sequence operations
Smooth flow of production in automotive industry requires precise handling of materials at the right time and in sequence.
Optimise your workflow through a reliable and independent means of materials handling.
- Manage long run times to retrieve and deliver parts .
- Overcome potential downtime & quality issues.
- Meeting time pressured supply of demand.
Seated tow tractor is ideal for indoor/outdoor applications where long travel distances are needed.
Space utilisation
Space saving and increased shop floor utilisation are common themes in automotive manufacturing environments.
How can you move faster in limited space while reducing storage footprint?
- Compact turning radius trucks ideal for confined areas
- Reduce inventory of parts and semi-finished products
- Optimal stock at assembly lines
Agile electric trucks ,tow tractors and tugger train systems deliver high productivity in constrained areas.
