Modernization & Upgrades

Breathe new life into an old system

Get Flash to see this player.
 

Changing business needs, new market demands, ageing and productivity problems – you don’t necessarily need a new system. We recognize that as your business grows and develops, so can your system. Dematic has the technology and software, skills and experience to upgrade your existing software and hardware to increase throughput, productivity and accuracy.

 

Adapt your system to changing requirements and save costs

Your system has provided years of service, and now it may be that it simply can’t perform at the level you need it to, or your business model and requirements may have changed. Older systems can become expensive to repair and maintain as parts and software become obsolete and manufacturers go out of business. Alternatively, you may want to implement greater automation and new technologies.

 

Dematic’s comprehensive range of services and support solutions can bring new life to your automated material handling system by:

  • Improving system uptime
  • Maximizing system throughput
  • Reducing maintenance costs
  • Lowering energy costs
  • Improving ergonomics and safety 

Many of these solutions offer a fast payback of often less than a year.

Benefits of modernization and upgrades

  • Existing systems assessed and upgrades recommended
  • Upgrades performed within tight timescales to fit your operational requirements
  • Updated software, controls and components available for older systems
  • Ongoing support provided to ensure maximum benefit

Energy Management

 Energy Management

In operations that utilize mechanized technology such as conveying and sorting systems, there are opportunities to reduce the amount of energy required. Conveying and sorting systems are typically turned on at the beginning of the day and run full speed all day until turned off at the end of the day. However, typical operations do not have high rate material flow throughout the shift.
