The automated system includes features such as fully automated loading and unloading, end-to-end tracking of tires using RFID technology, and the ability to handle a wide variety of tire sizes within the same system. Detailed management statistics, in addition to system-wide visibility and control, also enable the system to be continually optimized to enhance process efficiency.
“By eliminating manual handling of tires throughout production, tire manufacturers can enhance workplace safety and continually monitor and optimize process efficiency,” explains Klaus Schäfer, Managing Director at Crisplant. “In creating this new system Crisplant has used the same skills and expertise with which it has helped major distribution hubs worldwide, to transform their business to achieve lower operating costs and higher process efficiency.
Crisplant has been designing, building and installing material handling systems for 45 years. Their list of successful projects includes sortation systems for Goodyear and Bridgestone in USA, Canada and Japan.
