A Holistic Solution Across Different Storage Areas

Material Flow & Transport System

The conveyor system had to be installed on both sides of a fire safety wall. This particular design incorporated several directional changes to save space and retain high safety standards.

Data Flow

Production orders are stored at ebm-papst’ SAP system, and the packages can be identified by the HU number and the barcode label. GEBHARDT Systems developed and installed the material flow and plant control system.
