In a comprehensive retrofit project, the intralogistics specialists from Vollert modernized the complete conveyor technology of an existing large parts painting plant for the injection moulding machine manufacturer Arburg. While retaining the existing crane runway and painting technology, the processes were accelerated, the painting processes improved and automated and extended parts of the plant technology were added.

With a retrofit and thorough automation concept, MKM Mansfelder Kupfer und Messing GmbH in Hettstedt is streamlining its internal storage logistics. The special feature: A floor-free, ceiling-guided warehouse handling machine with telescopic column takes care of moving the wire coils, which weigh up to 6 metric tons (6.6 US tons), in and out of storage. Instead of an exchange, the almost 20-year-old device was overhauled and modernized so that it now takes over the processes fully automatically. The most modern control software ensures fluid, rounded and thus low-strain motion cycles.

For the retrofitting of a twelve-aisle fully automated high-bay warehouse at Mercedes-Benz in Sindelfingen, Vollert deliveres twelve stacker cranes, aisle equipment, conveyor equipment, safety, process control technology as well as electronics and the steel construction for the pre-zone. The exchange is made during on-going production over four construction phases. The existing storage system as well as the building itself remains unchanged.
