Cimcorp announces the expansion of its Dream Factory solution to include the handling of raw materials and compound products.
The manufacturer of robotic tire-handling systems said the end-to-end solution included an optimised layout with 50% less floor space than conventional solutions
Kai Tuomisaari, Vice President of Sales and Projects, Cimcorp, said, “The acquisition of Cimcorp by warehouse management and distribution specialist, Muratec, enabled the addition of key upstream components to the Dream Factory solution. Muratec’s warehousing and transportation technologies are now fully integrated with Cimcorp’s systems, including a user-friendly interface for operators, to provide seamless data access throughout the entire manufacturing process.”
The Dream Factory solution is suitable for both brownfield and greenfield factory sites, with the original version already implemented around the globe.
Cimcorp delivered solutions to 14 of the top 25 tyre manufacturers globally, who between them manufacture 60% of the world’s tyres.
Key installations include Cordiant’s Yaroslavl Tyre Plant in Russia – a brownfield site that dates back to 1932 –and Tigar Tyres’ brand-new plant in Pirot, Serbia, which demonstrates the simplicity and speed of installation at a greenfield site.
In June 2015, Cimcorp secured its largest order, US$33.5 million, for a turnkey material handling solution at Qingdao Sentury Tire’s new plant in Thailand. This project will continue to go live in stages throughout the remainder of the year and into 2016.
Cimcorp will officially launch its complete Dream Factory solution at the Tire Technology Expo in Hanover, Germany, from 16 to 18 February 2016.
