The project aimed to automate the packaging and transportation process of materials in a manufacturing company to increase efficiency, reduce processing time, and minimize the risk of production line downtime.
The client set the following goals for PROMUS Katowice Sp. z o.o.:
The project aimed at significantly reducing operational costs through the automation of the packaging and transportation process.
Another goal was to reduce the use of forklifts in the production line area while maintaining the ability for wheeled vehicles to pass through
The project aimed to ensure the continuity of the production process 24/7, eliminating unnecessary downtimes.
An essential goal was to improve the quality of wrapping while simultaneously reducing material consumption.
The client’s expectation was also for the automatic line system to collaborate with existing forklifts.
The next step after familiarizing ourselves with the goals set by the client was a detailed identification and analysis of their requirements. Based on this, we defined the following challenges that we had to meet.
The project had to account for receiving the product from six independent production lines and two loading stations.
The system had to handle packages of diverse heights and weights, reaching up to 8 tons.
The project had to be implemented continuously, without the need for a complete halt of production in the factory.
Meeting technical and business expectations.
It’s worth emphasizing that the last two benefits, besides their undeniable business value, also bring environmental benefits
Autonomous rail-guided vehicles were implemented, capable of transporting heavy stacks of plates.
An intelligent management system was implemented, taking into account priorities and buffer fillings for various production lines and loading stations.
A modern wrapping machine was utilized, featuring pre-stretch functionality during wrapping, allowing for material savings.
Conveyors with pockets were implemented, enabling the system to collaborate with forklifts.
