Operator Assembly using Nuyts IAS arrow.gif (895 bytes) In today's environment,  rarely can products be mass manufactured without the need for product customisations or mixed variations in the assembly process. Layouts for these products using fixed conveyors or work benches leads to back-tracking of work, difficult production control and waste's throughout the system.
arrow.gif (895 bytes) The Intelligent Assembly System (IAS) , Intelligentes Montagesystem (IMS), has been developed to meet the demand from organisations wishing to manufacture on flexible production and assembly lines, but with minimum effort and at an affordable cost.
IAS (IMS) with fixed height build platform. arrow.gif (895 bytes) IAS (IMS) vehicles are either passive-inductive  or optically guided . The AGV (FTS) typically moves from one workstation to another and production / assembly operations are undertaken upon its build platform. The kit of parts  required during assembly can also be carried by the IAS (IMS).

arrow.gif (895 bytes) Workstations are identified to the AGV (FTS) through code tags located along side the guidance tape, and therefore can be located/relocated in seconds.  The assembly operators activate the AGV (FTS) upon finishing their operation.
arrow.gif (895 bytes) With Nuyts IAS (IMS) in place,  increased productivity through minimal work-in-progress, maximum utilisation of space, extremely flexible production lines, better, cleaner working environment and much reduced materials handling are just some of the advantages that have been demonstrated in production and assembly plants around the world. Give Nuyts a call to arrange a site visit to any of them.
