Home storage organization - Automated handling for maximum productivity

With its innovative robot cell for sheet metal strips used in home storage systems, Meissner offers a future-oriented automation solution for modern manufacturing. The system precisely removes, stacks, and sorts sheet metal strips used in home storage systems, thereby significantly increasing efficiency, process reliability, and quality. The specially developed robot removes the finished sheet metal strips directly from the machine and sorts them fully automatically into stacks of 10 in the designated holders within the robot cell. This automated stacking replaces the previous manual activity and thus relieves your staff, who can now concentrate on value-adding tasks.
