Accumulation systems

Keep your production running smoothly. Decouple machines, reduce downtime, and maintain product flow even during upstream and downstream issues.

Stabilize your line flow and maximize OEE.

Our accumulation systems help you boost your secondary automation processes to increase production.

Benefits

Full line efficiency

Improve OEE by allowing upstream and downstream machines to operate independently, preventing micro-stops from propagating across the line.

Reduced potential for jams

Isolate mechanical events and stabilize line flow to minimize the frequency of jams and the resulting equipment idle time.

Precision handling

Protect fragile containers like syringes and vials with gentle placement that eliminates contact, reducing the risk of breakage and rejects.

Configurable buffer times

Absorb stoppages with flexible buffering ranging from 45 seconds to 15 minutes, tailored to your specific machine start-up and recovery needs.

Space-efficient integration

Achieve higher throughput and scale your production capacity within your existing manufacturing space using compact footprints.

Minimized waste and rejects

Maintain line balance to reduce product waste and ensure stricter quality expectations are met for high-value pharma products.
