JCB constantly strives to squeeze as much productivity out of its factory space as possible. This leads to frequent re-positioning of workstations that have knock-on effects on the existing infrastructure. JCB operates a very tight window with dedicated shut-downs by the end of which the work has to be complete for production to restart.
The solution
New 2 tonne single-girder crane to feed new production-line robot.
We need to be as nimble as JCB is demanding. We have developed three strategies: provide a new crane, or move, or modify an existing crane. This latter option frequently requires considerable ingenuity from our team. Whatever the challenge, we have always found a solution.
