In-house Automation: The Difference in Freight Elevator Control

MRSUL recently completed the installation of the ELC221 Self-Supporting Elevator in the staging system of the Boticário unit, located in São José dos Pinhais (PR).

The project was conducted following a structured process, ensuring safety, technical precision, and efficient integration with the existing operation.

The first stage involved planning and preparing the installation area, analyzing the site conditions and defining the structural points necessary for assembling the equipment. Being a self-supporting model, the elevator has its own structure, allowing for faster installation and less interference with the plant's infrastructure.

Next, the assembly of the metal structure was carried out, including columns, platforms, and the lifting system. This phase requires rigorous technical alignment to guarantee the stability, performance, and durability of the equipment during operation.

With the structure positioned, the installation of the mechanical components and the drive system, responsible for the vertical transport of loads, began. Simultaneously, electrical and automation integration was performed, with the installation of the control panel and connection to the staging line's operating system.

The final stage consisted of conducting operational tests and safety validations, verifying the equipment's performance under different load conditions, as well as fine-tuning to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability.

With the project's completion, the elevator will directly contribute to optimizing the internal logistics flow, guaranteeing safe, continuous vertical transport aligned with operational demands.

This project reinforces MRSUL's commitment to developing and implementing robust, customized, and high-performance industrial solutions for large logistics and production operations.
