Mobile Case Transfer System for Conveyor-Line Warehouse Automation

Process Overview

This solution uses a stacker that travels along a line and automatically transfers boxes using a conveyor system.

By transferring boxes to a higher position with a stacker, it enables faster box handling compared to conventional methods, improving productivity. It also reduces the risk of safety accidents by separating operators from the work area. In addition, the stacker’s travel section is configured with PLC control, making maintenance convenient.
