At the customer's request, Assure initially developed loading and unloading systems that automatically feed the containers to be counted to the component counter without the need for an operator at the machine. Now, upstream and downstream steps are also automated as part of a full storage solution.
These process steps are now also automated with the help of conveyor belts in a so-called 'Full Storage Solution'. This results in networked production with fully automated material logistics.
Automated counting of components and working with a live inventory has many advantages. By using an intelligent counting system, the flow of components to the line can be maximized and kept running. Other advantages of the automated counting process include
Secured inventory from delivery - count incoming components to ensure you have received what was ordered
Traceability from the outset through the use of unique IDs that allow accurate inventory per reel in relation to the part number
Improve inventory accuracy when setting up the line/assurance that required materials are in stock
Eliminate unnecessary safety stock/minimize or even eliminate special orders for last minute needs
The new Assure Flex inline system integrates seamlessly with the wide range of products from leading storage system manufacturers - whether with the conveyors, the loading and unloading systems or whether directly into the warehouse or a dry tower.
