Ultimation Industries Launches Specialty Automated Delivery Systems
Ultimation Industries LLC, a leader in conveyor technology and automation, has launched a new range of specialty automated delivery systems for the e-commerce and automotive industries. The specialty systems build on Ultimation’s success in providing conveyors for sequenced tire and wheel assemblies that can be directly unloaded from the trailer to the plant’s assembly line.
The first application for the new specialty automated delivery systems is a fleet of trucks that deliver oversize and performance-style tires for a major automotive manufacturer. “These mud-style tire and wheel assemblies are enormous and don’t fit inside existing delivery systems,” said John Daugherty, VP of Engineering and Projects, Ultimation. :We had to develop a new, automated delivery solution that would protect the wheel surfaces at all times.”
