Order picking boosted January 1st 2012 Eyewear manufacturer Jai Kudo
specified a bespoke conveyor circuit
from Conveyor Systems (CSL). The
handling solution boosted the order
picking efficiency for optical lenses
from specially adapted vertical pickto-
light storage units.
CSL provided a cost effective design,
using modular conveyors integrated
into a circuit. Lenses are picked to
order from vertical storage units and
securely placed in plastic tote
carriers. The carriers are placed onto
close pitched powered roller lineshaft
conveyors with low pressure
accumulation that are suited for
protecting and smoothly transporting
fragile products. The lens tote carrier
continues to be driven around the
circuit to be halted at one of four blade
stops to be removed to packing
stations for checking and shipping. More articles from Conveyor Systems Limited: |
