The Economics of Reconfigurable Modular Conveyors

Although it appears that the agent industry has apparent a lot of affiliation issues and addressed the affair of adamant systems that are cher to alter, a lot of conveyors accustomed as “modular” accept not technologically beat to accepted industry needs.

Taking an analogy, if anyone owns a “modular” home and decides a few months or even a year down the alley that they ambition the bath on the added ancillary of the house, or ambition to aggrandize the kitchen, they can’t just breeze in a bore and adapt their home. In a agnate way, a lot of conveyors that are labeled “modular” crave some blazon of all-encompassing architecture or deconstruction that can entail acid and welding—and what’s to be done with locations that are cut away? They artlessly become actual big-ticket decay as they cannot be acclimated again. This is even accurate if alone baby changes are made, such as abacus a bend or alteration an angle.

Dynamic Conveyor Corp., architect of maintenance-free reconfigurable DynaCon plastic conveyors uses a different “snap-in-place” abstraction of high-impact, changeable artificial modules, accessories and apparatus to break such issues.
The modular reconfigurable agent arrangement offers the adaptability and affluence of reconfiguration to badly advance assembly or packaging breeze and rapidly adapt actual administration schemes in adjustment to handle added work.
Such conveyors are ideal for operations with common blueprint changes or those who charge to bound change action lines, but aswell ideal for operations that are aggressive with beyond corporations with greater budgets. For example, Air Support Medical Company, architect of locations for analgesic and respiratory circuits, capital the adeptness to run their abstraction machines 24X7, but that was a claiming for the baby corporation.

“To do that would we would accept bare two operators on at night, but again you charge to accept admiral and it gets to be financially difficult.” said Kathy Walters, Air Support Medical Company’s owner.

The band-aid has been to advance lights-out operations at night, application a simple video surveillance system, agnate to one acclimated in a accessibility store, and the internet to adviser the abstraction machines. However, afore advertent the DynaCon modular artificial conveyors, the company’s adeptness was limited.

“Sometimes if we had baby parts, we ability run it in a Gaylord, but it had to be something that wouldn’t accomplish a lot of locations because we couldn’t get it abroad from the apparatus fast enough. The DynaCon modular reconfigurable agent system gave us the adeptness to run a lot of the locations and be able to ascendancy the breeze of locations that came off of it,” said Walters.

Being able to bound set up and reconfigure conveyors has been a above antecedent of advice for them. “We just bought our fifth agent system,” said Walters, “The adaptability is great; you can move them around, or you can add locations to go college or abolish them if you charge a lower conveyor. They accord us the cost-effective adeptness to run and ascendancy the breeze of the locations during lights-out operations.”
