Inther opened its own research and development centre in Venray on Thursday. At the new Technology Assembly Center (TAC), Inther will develop and manufacture its own conveyer system.
When designing this system, Inther paid great attention to integration of control, sensor technology and cabling. Everything is designed from the software and installation side. The ICE (Inther Conveyor Equipment) conveyor system is based on control technology, making each module system a standalone device that can operate independently.
Inther founders Paul Hermsen and Martijn Herder say the opening of the TAC 'fills the need for further warehouse automation and mechanisation given the ever-increasing tightness in the labour market for warehouse personnel'. "We are stepping up to 'the next level' with state-of-the-art conveying equipment, drastically reducing delivery and implementation times," said director Paul Hermsen.
Besides developing the ICE conveyor systems, employees in the TAC will also start working on developing robot picking technology and automatic document handling solutions in the packaging process.
