Automated Material Handling: A Real Success Story
Case Study: Automated Material Handling I-Trolley
In 2024, an iron-casting company serving the automotive sector was grappling with a major material-handling challenge. Transporting raw materials from the dock area to the forging area had become a significant operational bottleneck.
The challenge:
A hand trolley carrying 700 kg of material required six workers to push it manually. This process involved frequent stops for weighing – a workflow that was not only time-consuming and expensive but also posed significant safety risks for the team.
The solution:
Everything changed after the implementation of our automated I-Trolley. This game-changing solution now effortlessly transports 1,500 kg of material in a single trip from the dock area to the forging factory without any interruptions. With its integrated load measuring display, operators can instantly view weight readings from the load cell – eliminating the need for separate weighing and making the entire process faster, easier, and more efficient.
The Results: The transformation was remarkable:
- Loading capacity more than doubled from 700 kg to 1,500 kg
- Operational time slashed from 22 to 12 minutes—delivering 2x faster material movement
- Labor requirements reduced dramatically from 6 workers to just 1 operator
- Enhanced safety by eliminating heavy manual pushing
- Measurable ROI through significant cost savings
