BEUMER Group, a leading global supplier of automated material handling systems – announces the launch of its first automated material handling system to be specifically designed for the tire production industry. A demonstration and animations of the new Tire Tray transportation and sortation system will be shown on stand number 3118, at the Tire Technology Expo 2014, Cologne, Germany, from 11 to 13 February 2014.
The new Tire Tray System automates the handling of tires and provides full traceability and tracking of each tire throughout the production process. The automated system includes the integration of release agent spray systems, as well as the buffering and curing processes. The system offers advanced 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 a single system. In addition to system-wide visibility and control, detailed management statistics 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 BEUMER Group company, Crisplant. “In creating this new system, BEUMER Group has used the same skills and expertise with which it has helped major distribution hubs worldwide, to transform their businesses to achieve lower operating costs and higher process efficiency.”
BEUMER Group has been designing, building and installing material handling systems for the past 45 years of its 79 year history. Their list of successful projects includes customizing standard material handling systems for tire production facilities in the USA, Canada and Japan. Most recently, BEUMER Group installed a new sorting system at a facility in the USA, and used meticulous planning to enable the plant to remain in normal operation throughout the entire installation process.
