Success Stories

Pain:
• Finding a national manufacturer capable of meeting the required functionality and quality standards

Challenges
• Adjusting the equipment design to the available space
• High production capacity
• Short development and manufacturing timeframe

Executed Solutions
• Fully customised project to meet high cycle rates and the client’s demanding production characteristics

Pain:
• Productive and ergonomic impacts that made certain processes unfeasible

Challenges
• Installation location
• Assembly process
• Equipment exposed to weather conditions
• Equipment height

Executed Solutions
• Equipment manufactured in modules
• Modules with sealing system for outdoor exposure
• Custom-designed and manufactured project

Pain
• Not many products could be transported due to the 500 kg capacity of the equipment.
• The lift broke down on a weekly basis.

Challenges:
• Height restrictions, external aerial access, and only 4 days available.

Executed Solutions
• Production of a lift with an increased capacity of 1000 kg.

• Access restrictions and delivery deadline
• No pit allowed for the equipment installation
• External building access using a 100-ton crane
• 4 days for dismantling the old lift and assembling the new one

Pain:
• Transporting coils from the upper floor to the lower floor
• Finding a national manufacturer capable of delivering the expected functionality and quality

Challenges:
• Various coil sizes
• Fully automated process
• Production speed
• Safety of workers in the surroundings

Executed Solutions:
• Customised manufacturing project for high capacity
• Audible and visual signalling system
• Robust automation system

Pain
• Constant production stops

Challenges
• Physical space for installation

Executed Solutions
• Reduced by 1/5 the transport time of the bags with safety, producing 5x more
• The machine room was installed laterally on one of the floors
• Designed with automatic vertical-opening doors for floors and cabin

• Physical space for installation
• Elevator with 22 metres in height
• 5 floors and special project
• The top floor required clearance for the overhead crane, therefore the machine room was installed laterally on one of the floors
• Designed with automatic guillotine-style doors for floors and cabin

• 100% stainless steel design with liftgate
• Construction in accordance with FDA standards
• Washable, ensuring easy cleaning and sanitisation
• Complies with food industry requirements
• Ergonomic height suitable for operators during product handling
• One of the conveyors needed to be articulated (liftgate) to allow operator passage around the conveyors
• Equipped with metal detection and weighing systems

• Automatic identification of rejected boxes
• Fast and precise operation through synchronised cylinders and shafts
• PLC control with HMI
• Compact and modular construction
• Operational safety system

• Fast vertical movement, optimising material transport between floors, reducing operation time and increasing productivity.
• Replaces manual or improvised transport, minimising accident risks and physical strain on workers.
• Designed to support large volumes and weights.
• Improves use of vertical space in warehouses or buildings, freeing floor space for other operations.

• Materialise a concept that would operate efficiently as a mobile unit
• Equipment developed, designed and manufactured for the treatment of contaminated soil with controlled injection of polymer nanoparticles
• Based on the required processes described by IPT researchers, we developed a mobile soil-treatment unit enabling researchers to transport the unit to the sites where soil decontamination would take place
• We designed an automated compound-preparation system fully controlled via HMI, allowing all controls to be performed through touchscreen, including the levelling of the mobile unit’s support legs, increasing operational efficiency
