SSI Schaefer showcases parts handling solutions for low volume applications

SSI Schaefer (Booth 5423) is demonstrating integrated standardized systems for small parts handling, including the Logimat AS/RS, the Pick@Work workstation and the Autocruiser transport system.

In principle an automated tool drawer cabinet, the Logimat can be configured as high as 60 feet. One operator could operate as many as six of the units, which deliver goods on a tilted tray with target picks illuminated from above.

The Pick@Work solutions combines ergonomic workstations with pick-to-light technology that leads the employee step by step through a work process. The system is suitable for the assembly of tiny (batch size 1) and small series (maximum recommended batch size 300) and/or assembly at a pick speed of up to 600 lines per hour.

The Autocruiser is a scalable transport solution closing the gap between forklift transports and conventional conveyor technology. Designed for 10 to 500 transports per hour of weights up to 30 kg, the system requires no software or controls.

Modex 2014 is scheduled to be held March 17-20, 2014 in Atlanta’s Georgia World Conference Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete Modex 2014 coverage.
