RUBIX and BOA Concept : a partnership that lasts
The smart modular conveyor Plug-and-Carry(R) in Italy at Minetti
In the continuity of the equipment made since 2015 for the RUBIX Orexad platform in France, BOA Concept was selected to equip the MINETTI platform in Bergamo, leader of industrial supply distribution in Italy.
A global project designed with new and re-used equipment
The modularity of the Plug-and-Carry(R) concept has enabled Minetti to reuse conveyor modules from the Orexad platform in France, thus pooling the conveyor fleet between the different platforms of the RUBIX Group.
To meet Minetti's needs, BOA Concept designed and installed the order preparation system on 3 levels, 2 of which are on the mezzanine. In total, the inventor of the intelligent modular conveyor integrated around 10 third-party machines, controlled by his BOA Drive software, as well as a case erector machine moved from the French site after its replacement by other equipment.
A concentrate of technologies
Packages are formed automatically and then transported to the preparation stations on the 3 levels, using elevators. When all the parts are taken, the packages are sent either to packing areas where they undergo a random check, or to a specific processing area, or even directly to a closure area. Packages are photographed to anticipate any customer complaints and then receive their delivery slip. They then undergo, before being automatically closed and labeled, a height reduction operation in order to limit the volumes shipped (CSR policy).
At the end of the process, a sorting system makes it possible to separate the shipments of the different carriers which are connected to the RUBIX computer system.
"A great step has been taken for the distribution at Rubix: both efficiency in distribution and quality will be achieved, increasing customer satisfaction." Luca Marconcini - Minetti Chief Operating Officer.
