ABB Flexley Mover Use-Cases

Picking and Putaway: The Flexley Mover is ideal for delivering racks from the storage area to picking stations, where operators perform picking or putaway tasks. It ensures efficient movement of products for order fulfillment or rack replenishment, optimizing picking processes and improving overall productivity.

Kitting: In kitting operations, where related items are prepared as kits and supplied to the production line simultaneously, the Flexley Mover offers significant advantages. It enables the quick and accurate delivery of kits to the production line, enhancing manufacturing or picking processes and improving operational efficiency.

Multi-SKU Management: The Flexley Mover provides total control and real-time management of a large number of different SKUs (Stock Keeping Units). It ensures full traceability of goods throughout the entire supply chain, from storage to shipment. This capability enhances inventory management, reduces errors, and improves overall supply chain efficiency.

Interprocess Connection: The Flexley Mover facilitates the transfer of Work-in-Progress (WIP) materials between workstations, enabling flexible production processes and saving time. It eliminates unnecessary operator movements by autonomously transporting materials between stations, ensuring seamless workflow and reducing production bottlenecks.

Assembly and Subassembly: The Flexley Mover is well-suited for assembly and subassembly operations. Its flexibility allows for easy integration into production lines, facilitating the addition and removal of stations as needed. This adaptability ensures smooth operations and enables quick adjustments to changes in production requirements. The tug's precise maneuverability and strong pulling capacity contribute to efficient and reliable transportation of components within the assembly line.

Robot Cells: The Flexley Mover integrates seamlessly with robot cells, enabling bidirectional communication and safe operations. It can precisely transport materials to and from robot cells, facilitating collaborative production processes. The tug's strong and compact design ensures the safe transportation of goods within the robot cell environment, enhancing overall productivity and efficiency.
