At Swisslog, we recognize the critical role automation plays in operational continuity and have developed a multi-faceted approach to maintaining high availability of our automation solutions.
Automate with Confidence
When automation systems are engineered for reliability, designed with redundancy and ease of use, and supported throughout their life, they can deliver the availability food and beverage manufacturers need to increase storage capacity, reduce labor dependencies and adapt to changing requirements.
At Swisslog, we offer a range of food and beverage-ready automation solutions backed by our deep industry expertise and unmatched lifecycle support.
System Reliability: Solution availability starts with system reliability. Working within the industry for 50+ years, we understand the requirements of the food and beverage value chain and have developed a track record for delivering the reliability our customers expect.
Our Vectura cranes, for example, are proven in more than 2,000 warehouses worldwide with many in continuous operation for more than 20 years. These solutions have continued to evolve with lighter, more modular designs and features such as industry-leading use of regenerative energy without compromising their legendary reliability. That reliability is designed into every component from the bottom frame to the forks.
With four types of bottom frames featuring different heights and thickness, frames are tailored to the application to ensure the strength and stability required.
The availability of an automation solution can be negatively affected when the various components of a solution don’t work together as one system. That’s why we take a holistic approach to solution development and design.
Goal is minimizing single points of failure at the component and system level.
