Step-by-step automation at Gundlach
Automated Guided Vehicle System for maximum productivity
Packaging specialist Gundlach relies on a flexible stand-alone solution from Jungheinrich to automate basic processes. Three autonomous ERC 213a lithium-ion pallet trucks ensure increased efficiency in material handling – further extensions are already planned for the future.
Challenges
- Optimisation and partial automation of internal transports at the main plant in Oerlinghausen
- Safe transportation of finished goods from plant 2 to plant 1 and rapid provision of empty pallets
- 24/5 operation with continuous monitoring of transport tasks to ensure adherence to production schedules
- Automation and digitalisation of redundant process steps with optimum utilisation of the AGVs
Solutions
- Hardware for implementing the extensive material transports with 275 locations at 7 stations
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for precise and reliable processing of routine tasks
- AGVs with lithium-ion technology to ensure maximum availability in 24/5 shift operation
- Intralogistics consulting and 3D visualisation for the development of a tailor-made overall solution
Successes
- Successful launch of automation with many advantages for daily intralogistics
- Implementation of a customised solution for optimum handling of transport tasks
- High availability and short charging times thanks to lithium-ion technology
- Close, partnership-based cooperation with fixed contact partners on both sides
