• Conception of automatic storage and transport systems
• Integration of a parallel relocation of textile fibre and cutting units
• Cutting units
• 2D/3D layout planning & special load carriers
• Value stream analysis and identification of further automation potential
• Catalogue of measures with cost and schedule assessment

Project 2: Planning the relocation of the cutting system

• Concept for the relocation of the cutting units incl. conveyor technology
• . Conveyor technology
• Planning the workplace design and extraction systems
• Technical analysis for fiber length measurement
• Creation and evaluation of several layout variants
• Detailed catalog of measures with schedule and cost overview

The project shows how important holistic planning is - especially when logistics, automation and production relocation have to be considered in parallel.
