Highlights

Wide layout configuration choices

–

Define the optimal footprint and performance using linear, by-pass, looped or compact layouts even in challenging spaces.

Lower manufacturing costs

–

Reduced manual handling and higher equipment utilization lower labor requirements and overall cost per lens.

Reduce work-in-progress (WIP)

–

Balance job load across machines to eliminate bottlenecks, balancing the job load per machine and achieve the lowest work-in-progress possible.

Optimize lab footprint

–

Produce more lenses per square meter while maintaining full machine accessibility, optimizing production space.

Higher machines utilization

–

Achieve up to 20% more load capacity and up to 95% machine utilization compared to standard automation systems.

Predictable production output

–

Automated production reduces operator-made errors, lens breakages and re-do's, with constant and repeatable delivery times.

Conveyor options

Tailored options to fit your needs.

Every lab operates under different conditions, space availability, performance targets, investment levels, and future growth plans. That’s why Satisloh offers various conveyor solutions engineered to match your automation requirements.

Smart Conveyor I & Smart Conveyor II:

Ideal for high-volume labs, complex layouts, or automating new areas of your production.

Routing Software & Decision boxes

Controlling your workflow.

Regardless of your conveyor workflow requirements, we offer stand-alone decision boxes for simple job routing or two routing levels to fit your automation needs and ensure optimal work in process, smooth flow and predictable output.

EASY Routing: Job trays routed based on path availability and job parameters
ADVANCED Routing: Job trays routed based on machine status, process capability, real time line conditions & configurable priorities with MES-360 CR.
ACB Routing: powered by actuators and control box for seamless data exchange (for Conveyor Lite only)

Hardware box for simple job route decision

Left / right decision
Job tray kick-out
Job sorting / batching

As your automation needs evolve, you can upgrade to the next level of routing anytime.

Expert Consulting

Building your ideal lab layout.

Automation succeeds only when layout, hardware, routing, and production goals work together. Our experts guide you through a proven 5-step process:

1. Consult:
Understand your goals and requirements to design the best performing conveyor layout, whether you use Satisloh machines or other brands.

2. Layout:
Visualize your future lab in 3D, designed to fit local constraints and optimize by-pass and loop concepts.

3. Analyze:
Simulate throughput, material mix, business cycles, identify bottlenecks, visualize labor occupancy and work-in-progress. View and compare multiple layouts scenarios and see how it impacts your lab’s performance.

4. Select:
Support you in selecting the ideal configuration backed by performance insights

5. Build:
Install, train your team and support your production ramp up.
