KLT Buffer System: Special Load Carriers/Totes
Conveyor SystemThe Challenge
One of the leading manufacturers of electronic components in the automotive sector sought to optimize its production line for electronic printed circuit boards. In a three-shift operation, the boards had to be manually sorted into various finishing or packaging stages after production, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. The customer required an efficient semi-automatic sorting and transport system that could fit within a 20-meter space.
The Solution
Our solution was a buffer system comprising six two-track lines on the lower level and a roller conveyor on the upper level. This semi-automatic transport and sorting system increased the autonomy of the production and packaging departments by enabling them to handle two processes simultaneously: unloading and sorting parts from the production machine via the conveyor on the lower level, and returning empty boxes via an inclined gravity roller conveyor on the upper level.
The implementation of the KLT buffer system, featuring a combination of two-track lines and roller conveyors, provided the automotive component manufacturer with an optimized storage and logistics solution. This system efficiently handles the sorting and transportation of electronic printed circuit boards, maximizing productivity and minimizing errors in their three-shift operation, all within a compact, space-saving layout.
