Manufacturing Logistics: Palletizing and Conveying
Pallet management systems optimize manufacturing production lines, by packing goods onto pallets for transfer and delivery. Automating this process leads to faster cycle times and higher levels of precision, increasing efficiency and reducing costs, while improving worker conditions and safety.
Palletizing challenges in modern manufacturing workflows
The demands of modern manufacturing and production make it increasingly difficult for businesses to grow, scale, and accelerate their operations efficiently and cost-effectively. Key challenges facing pallet logistics include:
- Cost-effective and efficient labor is increasingly difficult to find
- Materials are sometimes excessively heavy or hazardous
- Price pressures impact efficiency and precision
- Impact of modernization on consumer goods logistics
Maximizing speed and efficiency
Körber has a long-established expertise in conveying and pallet handling systems, setting new industry standards for quality, reliability, process stability, and longevity in the development of robotic palletizing systems. Designed and tuned in-house to match each customer’s unique material flow environment needs, no two Körber palletizer solutions are the same.
Lightweight Conveying Equipment
Precision product handling and transportation are essential to optimizing in-plant material flow. Offering a choice of drive and tension units to match belt length and load weight, our Lightweight Belt Conveyors are ideal for transporting light to moderately heavy products. Our Roller Conveyors are designed for light as well as heavy products, and can be adapted to a variety of space conditions. These units are impervious to dust, making them well suited to dusty environments.
Pallet Conveyor Equipment
Whether stacking or separating empty and full pallets, or moving pallets between different transport levels, we have a pallet conveyor to meet the task. Our range starts with the more economical driveless models, all the way up to driven roller or chain conveyors, complete with reversible transport direction and high pulling power. We also offer transfer units and turntables to connect transport lines and change pallet direction, as well as automatic pallet shuttle cars.
Tissue solutions
Tissue manufactures is facing significant pressures in terms of pulp price volatility and competition in global markets, and are looking for OEE improvement, product differentiation, and sustainable solutions. We offer the industry most comprehensive portfolio of tissue technology to support tissue manufacturers across the entire value chain - from roll to fold, from converting to packaging. This includes advanced digital services and engraving technologies as well as unique value chain concepts.
