Speeding Inline-Vehicle Sequencing: New material-handling systems and products rev up automotive assembly line efficiency

摘要

Smart material handling makes inline-vehicle sequencing possible and more efficient. At every stage of the sequencing process, material handling steps in with containers to protect parts and components in transit, systems that speed picking, and vehicles that deliver components and assemblies, large and small, to the assembly line. Inline-vehicle sequencing lets manufacturers make better use of plant floor space because it organizes parts and components in the order they will be assembled on the line and delivers them to the line within a few hours of being needed.
