Montech has joined forces with Pneutronic AG to enhance automated production processes through advanced conveyor technology. For over three decades, Pneutronic AG has specialized in process automation, offering solutions in robotics and software engineering. The main hurdle was devising a way to transport components of various sizes and weights, including those heavily soiled or rusty, using a single conveyor system. These items also surpassed the capacity of one conveyor, requiring precise alignment at the endpoint for robotic retrieval without causing them to tip over.
Montech’s innovative solution involved adapting standardized belt conveyors and floor stands. This system enabled secure transportation of stacked components and included a segment specifically for accurate alignment for robotic removal. The use of standardized elements ensured cost efficiency, while an online configurator allowed flexible selection. This approach not only accelerated implementation but also offered speedy delivery. The collaboration leveraged 3D modeling for precise planning and execution.
The partnership with Pneutronic underscores a shift towards flexible, integrated automation solutions. This trend highlights the value of standardized technology and partnership in effectively tackling complex automation challenges, ultimately boosting workflow efficiencies and productivity. The case emphasizes how innovation and collaboration can meet diverse needs in demanding industrial environments, signaling a future where tailored automation technologies become essential to industrial operations.
