In addition to developing bespoke
conveying solutions to suit customer
requirements, Advance Automated
Systems manufacture a solution called
Advance SmartLine - a ZLP (zero line
pressure) system, used extensively in
manufacturing and logistics warehouses.
Ideal for tote, box and carton conveying,
the solution offers flexibility, modular
design and efficiency.
The system can be controlled via a
number of modules pre-fitted to operate
independently, or on ASI, Profibus and
Profinet with PLC control. Various control
options can be utilised to provide basic
routing through to unit tracking and
reporting, thereby allowing integration
with WCS and WMS systems.
The Advance SmartLine system is also
used as a pallet conveyor in a modular
capacity, handling equipment for
palletised product with capacities
ranging from empty pallets to several
thousand kilos. The system can be used
with individually driven pallet modules
allowing for accumulation of pallets on
the system or a single drive system
