Assembly solutions MultiLine assembly solutions

Material ow to effective workstations In the assembly industry, workstations are well planned and designed since they must function as well as possible. MultiLine is expressly designed as an accessory for Sovella workspace solutions.
Its underlying concept is simple: by connecting workstations to a transfer line you can achieve a more exible and controllable material ow between workstations without sacricing characteristics such as usability or ergonomics.

Low investment costs

The MultiLine transfer system has two characteristics, due to which its investment costs remain low. Firstly, it is integrated with an existing system, complementing current processes and thereby avoiding the need for additional investments. Secondly, it is built using standard parts and design, which makes it easy to adapt to any situation and space. It can also be easily and quickly modied when the layout changes.

Optimised for WIP

The core of WIP logic (work in process) comprises allocating a value to stored items between production phases. Money is wasted when halfready products or components lie unused e.g. in a trolley used as a buffer. If MultiLine is used, only a small quantity of half-nished products lies waiting between production phases. This problem is amplied if a mistake made in one phase remains unnoticed until a trolley full of defective components is brought to the next phase. With MultiLine both the cost per mistake and the number of mistakes are signicantly minimised, because only a few faulty products can be produced before the mistake is noticed. For a tailor-made study, contact our specialists in Lean manufacturing.
