effimat with bins ISDA Network for StorageOur Business Partner EffiMat produces automatic high-speed picking and flexible storage, production, and distribution solutions. Their name comes from their revolutionary key product – the  EffiMat® –  which is anything but a VLM. The intelligent and patented Box Mover Technology allows the EffiMat to dynamically handle boxes and to operate both vertically and horizontally. This results in an increased picking performance of at least three times higher than conventional vertical storage lifts.

The height of the boxes and the partitioning can be varied to allow intelligent pre-sorting of small parts. Barcode scanning already prevents errors during placement into storage. The Pick-by-Light procedure ensures error-free and user-friendly picking. The EffiMat can be used as a stand-alone solution or as a standard element in an individual complete solution. Storage automation and robotics are easy to add!

We also have a vertical carousel storage system available through Wanzl, the Twister V Series. It, too, can be used both in stand-alone operation and in a combined system with other devices, such as AGVs (seen right).

The system moves backwards and forwards, shortening provisioning times. The Twister system can be installed over several floors with up to five delivery gates and over 30 feet in height.

More recently, ISDA has partnered with Arnold Packaging and Automation to boost our Members profitability through productivity. Their technology lineup features a variety of robotics and machines, including autonomous & collaborative robots, and autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs).

Arnold’s patented Intelligent Box Opening Device (IBOD) can open more than 2,000 boxes a shift but boxes can be fed in any order without the need to run same-size batches. The IBOD can be integrated with other products like ISORT to completely automate sortation and picking, as well as the opening of boxes, to minimize operator touches/injury, lowering labor requirements and improving throughput.

Want to reduce the manual labor expended in your customers’ facilities, for instance, in setting up boxes and/or wrapping pallets in stretch film or shrink wrap prior to shipping? We have automated stretch wrap machines, shrink wrap equipment, and both semi- and fully automatic case-sealing equipment machines that can seal up to 60 cases per minute.
