Simplimatic Automation integrates puck and conveyor system
Material handling and automation company, Simplimatic Automation (simplimatic.com), joined forces with sister company, Advantage Puck Technologies (APT), to create a highly flexible material handling solution for a high-mix factory environment in Cincinnati. The Simplimatic system is designed to dramatically increase manufacturing throughput by using Simpli-Flex® conveyor, a powered lift gate, custom controls, and 10,305 custom molded pucks (huggers/carriers) designed and molded by APT.
The customer is creating a new production line designed to fill and cap 23 different personal care items. To accommodate this highly flexible and unique request, APT is in the process of creating 23 custom molded carriers that will standardize the filling and capping height of these variably sized products.
