A prominent packaging industry company is advancing further in automation. To enhance intralogistics and boost production efficiency, ek robotics has deployed a tailored automated guided vehicle (AGV) system. Three VARIO MOVE series transport robots have replaced the former setup, ensuring seamless, automated material flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transport robots optimize hazardous goods container production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company manufactures extrusion-blown plastic containers, including stackable hazardous goods canisters used in various industries. To meet increasing demands for flexibility and productivity, the customer decided on a new automation solution from ek robotics. The three driverless transport vehicles from the VARIO MOVE series were specially adapted to the transport processes. Equipped with counterweights and active hold-down devices, the AGVs transport stacked plastic containers up to 2.8 meters high and weighing as much as 175 kilograms. Thanks to cantilevered fork arms, different pallet types \u2013 including Euro, industrial, CP1, and CP3 pallets \u2013 can also be picked up crosswise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicles travel a 100-meter route using state-of-the-art laser scanner technology and reach their 16 transfer stations quickly and precisely. Safety sensors continuously monitor the surroundings and ensure reliable detection of people and obstacles, so that transport processes run smoothly and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future-proof solution for intralogistics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy combining standardized AGVs with targeted adaptations, we created the ideal long-term solution for efficient intralogistics in this application,\u201d explains Ronald Kretschmer, Chief Sales Officer at ek robotics. The customer is already planning to expand the automation solution further and integrate additional storage areas into the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
