Load and unload parts, trays, or packages efficiently.
Space Manager® efficiently palletizes and de-palletizes materials. Installed at any point where pack-in or pack-out is needed, it’s available in endless configurations to match specific material sizes, floor space availability, and throughput requirements.
Much more than a material handling system, Space Manager® can be equipped with additional high-value manufacturing operations, such as assembly, inspection, marking, labeling, data acquisition, and complete Industry 4.0 connectivity. The possibilities are endless.
Space Manager® can be loaded and unloaded using lift trucks or autonomous logistics.
Configure Space Manager® as an inline buffer to accommodate for variation in the production process, help avoid bottlenecks and provide protection from unforeseen conditions, or simply create a bypass point to off-line materials. Infinite buffer is achieved through offline storage.
Manually packing parts or boxes onto pallets is time-consuming and physically stressful for operators. Space Manager® automates backbreaking and repetitive tasks, freeing up resources for high-value activities.
Process materials of different shapes and sizes on the same line by upgrading Space Manager® with machine vision, flexible robot grippers, and tool changers to create the ultimate all-in-one solution. Integrate vision-guided bin picking to eliminate costly part fixtures. Conveyors can be configured to any length and width based on the materials being processed and available floor space.
Sensors and machine vision can be integrated and connected to the manufacturing execution system (MES) to deliver real-time data for analytics, visual reporting, predictive maintenance and improved upstream and downstream operations – part of a complete Industry 4.0 solution. Integrate merged reality to enable another level of operator engagement and an innovative quality management process.
Collaborative robots and autonomous logistics have introduced all-new manufacturing paradigms. Space Manager® can be configured to support autonomous, collaborative, or hybrid workflows best suited to individual production requirements.
Maximize the investment with additional features, operations, and technologies. There are no real limits on what type of operations can be added to Space Manager®; assembly, testing, deburring, inspection, marking, the list goes on. Additional robots and cobots can further expand capabilities.
Robots from any manufacturer can be integrated and sized accordingly to payload requirements. Each robot is equipped with a custom gripper tailored to the application. Commercial components can be adapted from just about any manufacturer and Space Manager® can be integrated seamlessly, using existing factory controls architecture.
Space Manager® can be as small or as large as production requirements demand; from single-robot, single-lane cells to multi-robot, multi-lane, and multi-tier systems all working together 24/7 to keep production running.
Space Manager® can process a wide variety of materials at speeds that match any cycle time and volume; from cardboard boxes to cast iron engine blocks and bottles to barrels.
