Thyssenkrupp Automates Production with Mobile Robots

Thyssenkrupp Boosts Camshaft Production with Automated Mobile robots

Ilsenburg, Germany – thyssenkrupp’s‌ camshaft ⁤production ‌facility in Ilsenburg is now ​leveraging ⁤a fleet‍ of four driverless transport vehicles (FTV) – the EKS 215a, supplied by Jungheinrich – ⁢to optimize material flow and enhance⁢ process reliability. ‌The implementation⁢ marks a meaningful step towards full⁤ automation at the world’s largest camshaft manufacturing location.

The move addresses complex logistical demands within a mixed-operation habitat, ensuring⁢ maximum transshipment performance and‍ component​ availability. This investment impacts not ⁢only Thyssenkrupp’s ⁢production ‍efficiency ‌but also sets a benchmark for automated logistics solutions within the automotive supply⁤ chain. The system’s ability to handle over 40‍ different load carriers​ with flexibility is crucial for the high-tech components manufactured⁢ at the site.

Jungheinrich’s EKS ⁣215a Hochhub-FTV was selected for its versatility ⁢and⁣ compact ⁣design. self-supporting forks and high residual validity allow the robots ‌to transport ⁤pallets both with and without a mid-block,‍ accommodating a wide range ‍of ⁤material handling needs. The holistic⁤ logistics ​solution⁢ integrates the FTVs with ⁣control technology, shelving systems, and​ a premium software package. ⁣
