Automated train loading at ŠKODA with Vollert train handlers
Two automated Vollert loading cranes ensure quick unloading of vehicle batteries for e-car production from trains at ŠKODA’s headquarters in Czech Mladá Boleslav. Automation reduces lading times while increasing safety in handling of sensitive batteries.
Fourth sheet metal blanks high-bay warehouse for automobile production
Vollert erects a new material flow system with high-bay warehouse. It is already the fourth warehouse of the intralogistics specialist at the Mercedes-Benz press shop in Bremen. At the same time, Vollert increased the overall speed of the existing intralogistics processes.
Truck trailers are useful, but also big and heavy. This does not make their transport in the paint shop easy. Giga Coating GmbH recently built a completely new surface treatment plant in Twist. Here, up to 15.7 m long and 9 t heavy large parts are not only coated, but also blasted, dipped, swiveled and heat treated in hanging furnaces. The automated circulation principle creates capacities for up to 100 trailers and special parts per day in two construction stages.
Weld, paint and fit wagons and trailers in one line
The Brazilian manufacturer Randon has built a 500m long combined welding, painting and assembly line for trailers and railway wagons in the state of São Paolo. Vollert has developed a heavy-duty material flow concept consisting of 13 combined rope conveyor drives, two moving distribution transfer platforms and the control system for the individually timed forward feed.
Two stacker cranes in a high-bay racking warehouse supplied by Vollert Anlagenbau of Weinsberg ensure a fresh supply of new cars every day at the new BMW Welt in Munich. The short-stay warehouse provides 284 storage positions on four levels and is located 12 metres deep down in the belly of the huge delivery hall. From here, the cars are moved fully automatically to the so-called Premiere Arena – the centrepiece of BMW Welt – for presentation and collection.
