Adaptable Conveyor Solutions: Handling Totes and Trays Directly on the Line

on Thursday, November 30, 2023 By | Kevin Mauger | 0 Comments | Educational Resources
When handling totes and trays, the application often calls for a combination of manual and automated assembly processes taking place at different stages of the production line. Manufacturing complex products like automotive components or medical devices could have multiple stages that require interfaces with feeding systems, controlled stops for operator interactions, smooth starts that prevent product damage, and seamless transitions between production stages. Thankfully, there’s a better way - and it solves all the challenges above, including cost concerns. In this ebook, we’ll walk you through our solutions for specific applications that are uniquely-shaped, “prohibitively” large and wide (according to our competitors), and that often pose problems for automation because they require gentle handling.
