Customized and flexible systems: from Automotive to Food processing sector
BG Log takes care of the entire process, from analysis to implementation through planning, systems integration, maintenance and support. It offers smart and efficient operational solutions for warehousing and material handling which improve its customers’ internal logistics on a practical level. BG Log has been co-operating from the outset with major automotive companies, which need customized, flexible systems with top reliability and precision. Thanks to the experience gained in this field, BG Log can offer advanced solutions for any other manufacturing, food processing sector and general industry.
Managing the logistics processes taking place within a company is very complex. Supply chain management requires a clear vision taking into account several intertwined factors. BG Log’s mission is finding the winning combination for each customer.
From observation of warehouse flows a customized safety solution
BG Log designs, implements and delivers complete and fully operational solutions selecting and providing the best materials for projects, and offering all the necessary advice to make the most of the solution, as well as constant support with a strong focus on safety.
After listening attentively to the needs and attentive observation of warehouse flows, BG Log designs a unique and completely customized solution.
Safety in the internal areas where goods and materials are handled is particularly relevant and important nowadays. Warehouses must be considered as actual workplaces, as well as the real beating heart of any company, where people must be able to operate safely.
Safety is a top priority for BG Log from the design phase. Thanks to its experience, BG Log offers solutions where various elements are configured so as to guarantee a risk-free management of all handling flows. All the materials and equipment included in BG Log’s systems comply with international safety standards, with a specific focus on designing anti-seismic structures.
Intralogistics management: details, optimization and flexibility with expertise of Lean Lab Solutions
There are no standard solutions for optimum intralogistics management. Each company has its own spaces, needs and goals. In a fast-moving market there is no room for chance: each detail and element must operate at top efficiency.
To meet this challenge, BG Log is always alongside its customers. They work with their customers as a partner, from the design of new spaces to the optimization of the existing ones. From the initial study to the final implementation, they choose the most suitable materials and put them to work. Rather than a simple supplier, BG Log is a partner enabling their customers to achieve top results.
Companies must be flexible to respond to today’s ever-changing markets. To remain competitive, they need to assess their production processes for speed, efficiency and optimization.
Many companies, however, actually suffer from wastes and inefficiencies such as excess stock, downtime, unproductive staff and poorly arranged spaces multiplying needless transfers.
Lean manufacturing allows such wastes to be pinpointed and production processes to be streamlined, thereby increasing speed, quality and flexibility while cutting time, costs, manpower, overproduction and inefficiency. BG Log refers the companies striving to optimize their productions to the expertise of its partner Lean Lab Solutions, a network of professionals offering an “all-in-one” approach, from the analysis of the current status to the implementation of the identified lean solution. This is optimization, too.
FlexQube systems with eQart for intralogistic solution
Following this direction, BG Log achieved a partnership with FlexQube in 2020, a Swedish company which develop and offer a flexible system with a few standardized components for safe, ergonomic and cost-efficient logistics. BG Log is currently the exclusive distributors for the Italian market of FlexQube systems, including the eQart for intralogistic.
The eQart is a modular and easy to implement robot to handle any type of transport in a factory autonomously. What separates the eQart from other automation and robotic solutions is the ability to implement very quickly without much technical resources needed. Having a robotic system that you can adapt without the need to bring in technical experts is a key enabler for an organisations first steps into automation.
Particularly traditional AGV are only available in limited sizes, therefore the AGV and the cart are separated, which can cause sensor integration issues. With the eQart, the cart and AGV are within one platform, eliminating this issue. Moreover using AGVs can lead to issues in regards to proper ergonomics, with the eQart both safety and ergonomics are improved. Having a modular concept that can be adapted for a safer and more ergonomic facility helps everyone involved.
eQart innovative solutions without change the existing infrastructure
The eQart represents the fastest way to take your first steps into automation. It is a real industrial automation system that means you can begin installing today and realise benefits tomorrow.
The eQart for intralogistic concept aims to make customers leader in Intralogistics, and it represents an innovative solution which challenges the traditional and unsustainable way of material handling.
A unique system that is designed to accommodate every company, all productive processes, and the operators. With no need to change the existing infrastructure or material handling fleet. By the eQart, it is possible to create unlimited designs and any size.
The eQart has a modular architecture enabling sizes from 940 x 840 mm up to 2,510 x 2,510 mm.
The modules which compose the eQart are:
- brain;
- motors;
- battery;
- safety corners.
The visual system and the Cockpit to control the eQart for intralogistic and its applications
eQart navigates by using a camera-based visual system reading contrast with a colored line that is applied on the floor, no cutting or drilling on the floor is needed. The colored line can be created with tape or paint. The method is a cost-effective and flexible guide path technology, allowing guide path implementation and changes to be made in minutes or hours.
The eQart is controlled with a tablet application called “Cockpit” that allows the customer to easily control the eQart, create and modify routes. Some examples of applications that are ideal for the eQart are being able to have a custom size or top structure which is ideal for kitting operations or for odd shaped materials.
Specifically with the eQart for intralogistic there are several solutions, from the flat deck and pallet handling. The eQart also has the ability to tow material handling carts behind it very easily with a total towing capacity of 2,000 kg.
Another unique application that the eQart enables is that of creating a mother-daughter automation solution. This means that the eQart is able to carry small kitting carts or even the customers existing carts inside the eQart for delivery to the assembly line.
