They didn’t need a complex system like that.” Read More Automated System Eliminates Manual Loading “Lowes wanted to do away with their existing manual equipment and get something that was more ergonomically fitted toward the operators,” says Scott Hartman. “They were manually pushing these loads down the long gravity line and, as you can imagine, it was a lot of work to push an 800 pound load down a piece of gravity conveyor.” An automated conveyor was designed that completely eliminated the manual loading and satisfied Lowe’s ergonomic and safety concerns. Read More Adding Intelligence to Combat Product Flow Issues “We added intelligence to the line to combat the issue of the rolls moving as soon as one is picked,” Hartman notes. “The system still allowed them to pick rolls from the side, but the EZ Logic is programmable to allow operators to pick from the side and the next roll will not advance until after a set period of time. Regardless of whether you pick from the side or the end, the functionality remains the same. That next zone will basically hold the roll for a period of time – set to 30 seconds. So operators can pick up the roll and drive away and the next roll will come down in 30 seconds. That functionality was not there before and it has relieved a lot of the problems they were having.” Read More Integrated Pallet & Product Handling System Darin Boik worked closely with Metglas to design a system to meet their specific objectives. The objectives were to provide a safe, ergonomic work environment, increase worker productivity and increase plant capacity – without changing the process. The packing system needed to be designed to automatically stack, dispense and apply labels to cartons. We did the application engineering and equipment selection to make the design a realization. Read More Reducing Bottle-Necked Storage for Bottling With 60% more storage available that didn’t exist before, Arcadia Farms has been able to devote space for additional storage and increase their staging area. And due to the mobile nature of the rack, the samples can be moved if Arcadia requires that space for larger tasks. Overall, the mobile storage system solution allowed Arcadia a freedom that didn’t previously exist. It’s a luxury that they’re taking full advantage of now, says Scott Hovis. Read More Creating a Superior Pallet Transportation System Technimark, a turnkey injection molding packaging and components manufacturer, was having issues conveying finished product from their Asheboro, North Carolina, manufacturing facility to its warehouse. They needed a new pallet transportation system running new, more efficient technology. Scott Hartman proposed the Hytrol 25CREZD conveyor with EZLogic Zones Accumulation. This solution would not only be able to stand up to the vigorous workload, but was also way less complex than the original system, which was a major draw for Technimark. Read More Vertical Conveying & Pallet Solutions for Efficient Bottling This family owned farm grows into a major beverage distributor. How? Through lean, smart automation renovation. “Our first system took us from approximately six people on a line down to three,” says Arcadia Plant Manager James Ward. “So we went from 8,000 gallons of product to 16- to 20,000 overnight, pretty much, once we had installed the system.” Arcadia was so pleased with this project, and with the Hytrol equipment that AEC installed, that Hovis and the AEC team have become their go-to resource for additional automation projects.

Now a market leader in the general line packaging industry, BWAY provides rigid metal and plastic containers across North America. Read More Pallet Handling System With A Lift To assure their competitive position in the market place, Steelcase installed a group of CNC machine centers, each with full machining capability for all size panels of their wide ranging product line. The challenge was to provide a reliable safe transport system to handle a wide range of unit load sizes between warehousing, machining and sanding departments. Reliable automatic control of the system was essential; operator interface was to be minimized.
