LogiMAT 2024
Intralogistics is all about moving materials quickly, which is where the new solutions from item come in. At LogiMAT 2024, the pioneer in building kit systems for industrial applications is exhibiting an ingenious innovation for moving materials safely using driverless transport systems, along with its new Suspended Conveyor System and the highly versatile Conveyor Belt System.
Offering a whole new concept in flexibility, the item Building Kit System paves the way for application-specific solutions for a variety of intralogistics challenges. Driverless transport systems (DTSs, such as AGVs and AMRs) are one potential application. At LogiMAT in Stuttgart, item is presenting an innovative solution for DTSs that consists of a mobile base frame and a selection of superstructures. The base frames are compatible with the systems of well-known DTS manufacturers, and a standard interface ensures a variety of superstructures can be connected to them. From pallets and mesh boxes to custom rack solutions and complete assembly superstructures – all kinds of options are available to users for adapting ideally to the relevant transport task.
Smart material supply and an efficient flow of goods
The new item Suspended Conveyor System is a simple, cost-effective and flexible solution for supplying materials. Ideal for manual or semi-automated transport, the system represents an attractive alternative to small load carriers (SLCs) and is suitable for materials with an individual weight of up to 5 kilos that easily become entangled or would take up too much space in SLCs. It is easy to put together – ESD-safe Carriages are suspended from item Conveyor Rail Profiles. Measuring up to 6 metres in length, the individual profiles can be flexibly combined. They are attached at an incline of 3° to a frame made from Profile Tube System D30 to create trolleys or frames with an integrated Suspended Conveyor System. The Carriages make their way to the removal point by gravity alone. The Conveyor Belt System from item delivers maximum flexibility, too. Customers can fit a wide range of conveyor belts and drives to a base frame that can be configured to suit their specific requirements. Both standard and ESD-safe belts are available, in a variety of surface finishes and widths. Thanks to the new railing system, everything from individual and bulk goods to SLCs can be transported safely on item conveyor belts. The width and height of the railings are individually adjustable. The goods being transported are guided directly along the low-friction aluminium profile. The system is ideal for conveying, collecting together, funnelling and sorting materials, making it a further innovative development for efficient material transport.
