EKS 215a and arculee S: The power duo
Warema goes for a future-proof automation concept from Jungheinrich
Steady business growth and a high workload for employees prompted plastics engineer Warema to partially automate the new finished goods warehouse in Marktheidenfeld. Mobile robots, smart interface solutions and 24-hour service now ensure a highly efficient human-machine collaboration.
Challenges
- Developing a customised solution for the autonomous operation of seven injection moulding machines
- Automating redundant processes between production and dispatch to relieve employees
- Implementing a functioning overall system integrating various hardware and software components
- Ensuring smooth interaction between EKSa, arculee vehicles, and the customer's own machines
Solutions
- Two arculee S for picking up and removing pallets at the injection molding machine
- Installation of 18 transfer stations to facilitate the movement of fully loaded pallets between production and dispatch
- Three EKS 215a with onboard charger and lithium-ion battery for transporting goods to dispatch
- Jungheinrich Logistics Interface serving as the connection point between trucks and the customer's internal SAP system
- 24-hour service package for maximum availability during demanding three-shift operations
Successes
- Increased work and process reliability through the partial automation of warehouse processes
- Productive reallocation of freed-up personnel capacities to other areas
- Potential to increase performance with the subsequent integration of additional mobile robots
- Short implementation time and excellent customer relationship, with further expansion stages planned
