At Logimat 2015 in Stuttgart (hall 1, booth 1K41) Interroll, a worldwide leading supplier of key products for intralogistics, will present not only its proven products renowned in the market for years but also its modular conveyor platform as a response to the challenges which present and future material flow solutions face.
Leading supplier of rollers and RollerDrive
Powered and non-powered conveyor rollers from Interroll have been the number one choice for the distribution centres that postal companies and courier services operate, mail order companies, airports, manufacturing operations and other industries, such as supermarkets and the e-commerce sector, for many years.
Interroll offers its customers a wide range of customized product versions with respect to conveyor rollers. There are now about 60,000 possible variants. Despite this great diversity, approximately 80,000 orders were processed last year alone and delivery times of less than a week were achieved in nearly all cases thanks to the efficient and flexible on-demand manufacturing processes
Due to its expertise, short delivery times and the high quality of its products, Interroll is also a much appreciated outsourcing partner for the five largest system integrators in the area of intralogistics. This gives its customers the chance to concentrate on their core competences as system integrators or OEM.
Modular conveyor platform as an answer to future challenges in intralogistics
With the the modular conveyor platform Interroll is reacting to the growing importance of an efficient material flow. The main element of the new platform is a robust, modular system that incorporates the various key elements of conveying systems and can be assembled to form a complete material flow solution that renders the services needed. Newly planned systems can be realised, installed, and put into operation extremely quickly.
The new planning software “Interroll Layouter” gives equipment manufacturers and system integrators the opportunity to virtually assemble and calculate a conveyor system that meets the respective demands in advance.
As a neutral provider of conveyor modules for system integrators and equipment manufacturers, Interroll has designed the new platform to support open standards with respect to both mechanical and electronic aspects. Future-oriented field bus systems guarantee interfaces to larger, higher level systems. This not only offers flexibility, but also makes this a viable solution for the future.
