Great strides

Users want their machines and systems to work more efficiently and safely while at the same time relieving employees of tiring, monotonous and physically heavy work.

The Beumer Group develops systems for conveying and loading, palletising and packaging, and sortation and distribution systems. 

Efficient automation equipment which reduces cycle times as well as costs continues to be the focus for many users and is seen as an important factor for success. Companies from different sectors are therefore more and more frequently relying on automated system solutions that are specially tailored to meet their individual requirements. 

Users no longer want just one system; they want a combination of several systems which are optimally matched to one another.

Systems offered by Beumer include the robotpac, a space-saving, fully automatic articulated robot which is able to perform complex palletising and depalletising tasks reliably and efficiently. Containers such as bags, cartons, boxes, canisters and trays can be stacked safely and economically.

Beumer has developed appropriate, flexibly exchangeable gripper systems for every packaged product. The pallets are then transported to the Beumer stretch hood high-performance packaging machine. This packages the palletised stacks quickly and reliably. 

To enable the Beumer Group to provide optimum user support, the intralogistics specialist has formed teams in the individual group companies and at the site which specialises in automation solutions. The staff provide project support from the enquiry to the point of handover to the customer. First of all, the specialists produce a system draft. If this is suitable, it is passed on for implementation. The staff carry out the electrical installation and integrate the machine and system controls, as well as writing the software for the PLC and for the robot equipment.
