Industry > LogisticsApplication > LogisticsSector > Logistics

This application case features Schmalz's Vacuum Handling System (HS) as presented at the SFAW exhibition. It was designed to allow visitors to personally experience the practicality of moving workpieces more safely and comfortably. By utilizing the Vacuum Handling System (HS), workers can prevent musculoskeletal injuries caused by repeatedly moving heavy objects while performing tasks faster and more securely.

Project Background & Objectives

Reduction of Worker Fatigue and Accident Prevention: Minimizing physical strain and safety risks.
Simplification of Heavy Load Transport: Making the movement of high-payload workpieces effortless.
Versatile Handling: Safely and easily handling workpieces of various shapes and materials.
Enhanced Production Efficiency: Achieving faster transport speeds and streamlined workflows.
