Intelligence takes the lead

Wolfsburg/D. One premise alone governs the logistics of automobile production at VW AG: every part must be in the right place, just in time for fitting. By no means a trivial proposition, because every vehicle depends on the assembly of several thousand parts to specification and schedule. It calls for painstaking production planning, meticulous organisation, and precision-timed parts transfer using optimised conveyor technology. A perfect fit for the functional capabilities of the Interroll RollerDrive EC300

Strawberry tunnels forever

Andalucia/E. Andalucia's 21st-century strawberry plantations bear little resemblance to the flower-laden fields one may remember from those halcyon days of youth. Today, so-called macro-tunnels play a prominent role in the production of this red-coloured delicacy. When it comes to coordinating the actual logistics - 350,000 tonnes of strawberries are produced here each year -, Interroll offers crème-de-la-crème solutions: RollerDrives, DriveControls®, Drum Motors and an Interroll "classic".

More bite for Spanish snack producer La Selva - thanks to 1519 Interroll components

Girona/E. La Selva is a highly successful food company that has been combining tradition and progress since 1917. The latest milestone in this philosophy, pursued by its dedicated team of 165 employees, is the company's modernised production premises, in which layout and technical equipment combine to create a coherent, logistically optimised unit using automated material flow.

Sharply Focused on Europe

Grosswallstadt/D. If an optician in Barcelona asks for 20 boxes of daily disposable contact lenses today, he can hand them over to his customers tomorrow. Overnight delivery of the invisible seeing aids is ensured by Eurologistik, a business unit of Ciba Vision. An Interroll Sorter, Belt Curves and Belt Conveyors play a pivotal role in the distribution.

A Safe Landing

Salzburg/A. Immediately after check-in, the labelled luggage arrives via belt conveyors at the 1,700 m2 underground level with its automatic X-ray detection and conveying systems. Here, it is put through its first X-ray check as part of the 'Hold Baggage Screening' (HBS) procedure (Level 1). The first of three Xray points is also the first process-critical stage of the luggage handling procedure, and the point where the Interroll Belt Curve+ has a vital role to play.

Balancing act between high availability and cost-saving design

Madrid/E. BDL, now part of the Interroll Group, supplied a large batch of circa 1,800 drum motors for the check-in counters and special baggage conveyor system at the new terminal of Barajas Airport in Madrid. There has been no word from them since. There were no faulty parts. No replacement motors had to be supplied. A sad state of affairs, given that manufacturers often rely on the after-sales business of supplying replacement parts.
