Grandeco renews its AGV fleet

4 AGVs pick up pallets from the production line and bring them to a plastic wrapping machine. They are then placed in a temporary storage area. Manual forklifts then place the pallets in the warehouse.

Ceratec also renewed the existing electrical cabinet. A Siemens PLC will pick up the signals from the existing pushbuttons and switches in the production lines. Via Cerastore, the transport orders are sent from the PLC to the JBT Control Server, which keeps track of which pallets are in the storage area.
