In the BSH production facility in Giengen an der Brenz in Southern Germany, refrigerator and freezer doors travel quite a distance to where they are fitted to the cabinets. Their manual transport left an automation gap within the appliances’ assembly. Now an automated AGV system designed and installed by DS AUTOMOTION provides fully automatic, demand-driven door transport. Its OSCAR spin tunnel AGVs take the carriers piggyback to haul them from door assembly to the final assembly lines. This set former transport workers free for more rewarding tasks. With guaranteed on-time delivery, a reduced accident rate and in-creased energy efficiency, it also contributes to a frictionless and sustainable home appliances production.
