Lean Manufacturing - Automotive Plant Assembly Line Conveyors

A line side delivery system we required for an automotive assembly plant. A host of different systems to deliver parts – heater cores, dashboard assemblies, mufflers, etc. – was produced by Blue Arc to do these functions.

The conveyor system interfaced with a dolly system that brought the racks of parts to the assembly line. The operator is then able to transfer the rack from the dolly to the infeed end of our conveyor system. This system allowed for a small buffer of full and empty racks and automatically cycled the racks through, maximizing the efficiency of the assembly operators.
