Daifuku’s Conveying Flow System transports raw materials and finished goods in a predetermined path. Daifuku’s unique conveyor systems achieve zero-pressure accumulation through an indirect drive system. Zero-pressure accumulation ensures that items on the conveyor do not come into contact with each other, protecting product during transportation.
Primary Problems Addressed:
Floor space
Need more space for production
Productivity
Limited capacity in storage and production areas
Inventory
Poor product accessibility
Ergonomics
Workers in hostile environments
Excessive noise levels from material handling equipment
Safety hazards
Labor-intensive processes
Disjointed Operations
Multiple staging areas
Product is often moved from one staging area to another
