Container transport systems are used in the

retail sector and particularly in distribution

centres. This is an intralogistics solution for both

empty and full packages with the loads. The main

processes involve: handling of dry goods in roll

containers and handling of fresh and frozen

products in thermally insulated containers.

BENEFITS

and buffering of up to 1000 containers.

LOAD TYPE

▪ Roll containers

a solution for storage of loose goods,

packaging, bags or containers.

▪ Thermally insulated containers

an ideal device for storage of fresh and

frozen products in the “cold supply chain”.

▪ Mesh trolleys

a device equipped with a horizontal

platform, closed with two or four mesh panel

sides. Similarly to containers, they are moved

empty within the buffer zone. They are used

for storage of FMCG products such as:

food, beverages and alcohols.

CONTAINER HANDLINGSYSTEM

The handling system and the buffering of

containers helps to improve processes related

to intralogistics within the FMCG sector. The system

ensures: uninterrupted transport of products

in containers, management of empty containers,

short loading and unloading time, and maximisation

of the use of space in the buffer zone.

The system offers the ability to transport two

or more different objects that have different

dimensions, different weights and different

coefficients of surface friction – on the bottom

of containers (plastic, metal, etc.).

AREAS OF USE

SAVINGS

Reduction of energy and labour costs.

Transport lines may carry light loads from the

very beginning of the production process, e.g.

from the release of the cardboard box from the

box maker forming the box, to box-loading

stations, followed by box-closing stations, to the

last part of the line - the picking station, where

the boxes are stacked (picked) and placed in

a specific mold on pallets by a robot palletiser.

As the boxes are moving, it is possible to scan

the barcodes, which can be used to determine

e.g. the route for the load. Cardboard box

and container transport systems are used by

industries such as Retail, e-commerce and

FMCG.

BENEFITS

FLEXIBILITY OF APPLICATION

The ability to stack loads with heights

between 500 and 1400mm palletised

on different types of pallets: EURO, INDU,

CHEP, DHP.

These modules are installed both behind and in

front of automatic pallet wrapping machines and

their installation within the system allows

automation of the pallet stacking process.

These systems are used for pallets with unstable,

light loads when palletising products with high

heights is impossible. Stacking the pallets (one on

top of another) makes it possible to stabilise the

load whilst maximising the use of space in further

distribution.

Depending on their construction, these modules

may also be used for automatic stacking of two

pallets with a DPH load (800x600mm) onto

a EURO pallet (1200x800) for their further

storage in automated warehouse systems

or buffer warehouses for EURO pallets.

WASH&DRY

Automated system for transport, washing and

drying of thermally insulated containers used

in distribution centres supporting the logistics

of fresh and frozen products.

ROBO BENEFITS

EFFICIENCY

Greater efficiency of the process and lower

energy consumption. The robot offers the

possibility to dry food containers – multi-axle

work of the cylinder provides faster and

more accurate drying.

Automated washing of thermally insulated

containers at low temperatures between

2 and 5 degrees Celsius, with high humidity.

Smart measuring systems and quality control

– development of a system which detects

contamination of food containers. Only

contaminated containers are washed by the

washing robot. The system identifies the

nature of contamination in order to apply

correct washing parameters.

OPTIMISATION

The optimal use of resources. The use of

two compressors allows simultaneous

drying on two transport routes.

Detection of the contents of a container

prior to washing enables selective washing.

SAVINGS

Low maintenance and servicing costs –

greater efficiency of the filtering system.

ECOLOGY

Reduction in electricity consumption.

Reduction in water consumption.

of approximately 260 machines with a total

length of approximately 700 m. 70% of all the

equipment is mounted on a steel construction,

which allows the maximum use of the

available production site.

The optimisation of the transport system through the selection

and configuration of the relevant types of conveyors that ensure

an adequate flow of the tires through all processing machines.

MAXIMUM USE OF SPACE

Conveyors built on a steel construction at a height

of approximately 4 m.

REDUCTION OF MAINTENANCE COSTS

Elimination of forklifts and trolleys.

SAFETY

Transport of GT that does not cause their deformation or damage.

To create a transport system that integrates all

stages of the production process with regard

to the efficiency of each machine and

maintaining smooth production. Due to

24h/day, 7 days a week operation, machines

must have high reliability and a long life.

Adapting the line for later system upgrades.

AVERY DENNISON

Increased efficiency of the loading and

palletising process – in the end-of-line

area in the labeling industry.


SOLUTIONAPPLIED

Europa Systems applied a turnkey solution,

composed of modules, which ensures full

end-of-line automation from picking up

an empty pallet through positioning a

load - a paper or foil bale - to securing it for

the subsequent process of transportation or

storage. Areas covered by the system: Loading

and transporting goods, securing a load,

storage and release.

Automation of palletising addresses

the question “what is the best way to

combine warehousing and production

line processes?”

Loading process optimisation and transport

of goods with over 120 load-setting options

on a pallet. Possible “mix combinations on

a pallet”: single or double load, with washers,

cardboard box tops, and also without pallets.

Another challenge involved integration

of single devices into a fully automated line.

INCREASED EFFICIENCY

CASE STUDYSEW-EURODRIVE

Europa Systems produced a line of

transporters, which included an automated

guided vehicle (AGV) used for transporting

gear motors between assembly stations and

other parts of the production line.

This method allows the free movement of

employees and trucks located within the

production area. The truck complements

a section of the transport route without

blocking passageways.

Shorter charging time of the truck

and reduced maintenance costs.

TIME SAVED BY 20%

SAFETY technology and the adjustment

of a truck's speed to the braking distance

guarantee that it is completely safe to use

in an environment containing people.

DEDICATED SOLUTIONAUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE (AGV)

AGV factory increases the efficiency

of its production line.


Connecting passageways and transport routes

on the production floor without the need to

close certain areas, while ensuring the free

movement of goods.

The priority was to ensure absolute

maintenance-free operation and charging

system of the AGV.
