AS/RS Buffer Systems: Warehousing on a Whole New Level

Warehouse management is a complex and challenging task that requires efficient and reliable solutions. One of the most innovative and effective solutions is the automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) buffer system, designed to optimize inventory storage and retrieval, reduce travel time, increase throughput and enhance flexibility.

Adding Automation to Your Food Handling Production

Automating a food handling production line is becoming increasingly more important these days.  With the ongoing pandemic and labor shortages affecting virtually all businesses big and small, moving from an unreliable manual workforce to robotic automation is essential.  A leading food manufacturer came to us intent on enhancing their production line with robotic automation.

Project Spotlight: Automated Palletizing with Robots

Midwest Engineered Systems built a robotic palletizing system that could move over 80 cases per minute. The robotic integration required no tooling changes to accommodate varying case sizes, or to handle the layer slip sheets. This system also utilizes an automated pallet dispenser, and can produce multiple pallet patterns.

Automated Assembly

Project Spotlight: Trigger and Bottle Assembly Line

Midwest Engineered System built a fully automated assembly line that required no manual labor to perform the assembly operation. Robots using a vision system would pick and sort the multiple types of triggers as they travel on a single conveyor. On a separate conveyor, filled bottles would arrive at the bottle assembly station.

Streamline kitting operations for production efficiency

Keeping production on track with the right components in high variability, low volume assembly and manufacturing can be a headache that tends to affect throughput. When product variations are small in nature but important to functionality, these issues can not only affect production efficiency, it can also make trouble in keeping quality on track.
