bott presents the avero workstation system

The avero workstation system from bott for manual assembly ensures efficiency, ergonomics and safety at the workplace. The powder-coated surfaces are robust and durable, and the avero workstations are also available in an ESD version on request. Supply trolleys and FIFO racks ensure replenishment and rapid material supply to the line. The shelves on the avero workstation system can be infinitely adjusted as required without tools. This supports the ergonomically favorable posture of the employee. Swivel frames position tools and materials in the outer gripping areas to the left and right of the employee over a large area. Concealed cable holders bundle and secure the electrical cables. perfo tool holders and bottBoxes organize tools and materials at the avero workstation. The bottBox is a standardized material box, developed for use in industry, in the workshop or in service vehicles. The bottBox received the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Award in 2015 for its special design and versatile features.

Using the avero assembly workstations as an example, bott and its cooperation partner Armbruster Engineering demonstrated work processes in the manual manufacture of a product: from picking the components to assembly and testing the workpiece. Together, bott and Armbruster Engineering ensure consistently high product quality. The ELAM system from Armbruster Engineering plays a key role here. A driverless transport system (AGV) and the power tools at the assembly workstation can be connected to the central control software. ELAM also controls worker guidance and order picking via pick-by-light. The employee also receives work instructions via a headset using pick-by-voice and confirms the completed work step by voice input. ELAM in turn provides acoustic feedback when parts are removed.

The AGV at the avero workstation system ensures material replenishment with Euronorm boxes and thus optimizes the logistical processes. The ELAM system controls the AGV and ensures that it provides the requested material. During order picking, the required components are put together using pick-by-light and pick-by-voice via a headset. After picking, the AGV brings them independently to the avero workstation, where the components are removed. The AGV then returns to the picking area and picks up the next material request. The AGV navigates by laser, locates obstacles and stops if necessary. Unmanned transport systems bring calm and structure to in-house logistics.

The AGV minimizes transport damage and accidents

Hectic maneuvering of forklift trucks is a thing of the past with AGVs. AGVs transport their loads systematically and safely to their destination. This significantly reduces the number of transport damages and accidents. Employees can concentrate on value-adding activities thanks to this physical and time relief. The extremely robust AGV is characterized above all by its long service life. The Mecanum wheels make it very maneuverable and flexible. Vehicles on Mecanum wheels can turn when stationary, negotiate curves with a very small radius and move freely in any direction on the surface. The AGV makes logistics systems flexible and secures supply processes. The continuous material flow thanks to a high transport frequency facilitates just-in-time production and optimizes the use of resources in the plant.
