AGVs vs AMRs: What’s the difference and which one is right for you?
If you are looking for a way to automate your material handling and transportation tasks, you might have come across two acronyms: AGV and AMR. But what do they mean and how do they differ? Midwest Engineered Systems has decades of experience integrating robots into manufacturing production lines. With that
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.
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.
Solving a challenging palletizing operation with well-designed automation
The project was certainly a palletizing process that needed to be automated, but it required much closer management than standard palletizing.
Easily upgrade to automated case packing with MWES’ turnkey solutions
Stepping up to automating manual case packing operations doesn’t have to mean spending weeks installing equipment. MWES’s turnkey case packer systems install quickly and easily. In most instances, systems can be up and running in a day, making the MWES case packer as ‘turn-key’ as they come.
MWES launches new production optimizing AS/RS buffer system
With its automated material storage and retrieval processes, the MWES ASRS buffer system can give a facility back valuable manufacturing time and reduce production errors. The MWES ASRS system can store materials in not only in an efficient manner, it allows for production environments to quickly manage materials as needed. The system does this by cataloging materials and their locations by how they integrate into the production process.
Learn how our case packers can increase throughput!
We’ve released a case study on a recent project that helped a CPG producer get more throughput using one of MWES’ standard, drop-in case packaging machines. Our standardized systems are built to be installed as quickly as possible with machines being production ready in as little as a day.
Packaging a Bag Packing Machine for Fast Results
With good labor getting harder to find and retain, automating the more repetitive production processes becomes a necessity. Automating these tasks allows the transfer of valuable labor resources to more important tasks. MWES’s robotic case packing solution does just that for bagged products that have proven difficult to previously automate.
