If you’ve ever travelled by plane, chances are you have taken advantage of conveyor systems installed throughout many airports. These moving walkways allow travelers and their luggage to traverse the concourse more efficiently. The convenience offered by these systems is great for helping passengers get where they’re going, and similar systems also provide numerous benefits in manufacturing operations.
UMD’s “people mover” conveyor systems offer many advantages to modern assembly line workers. Automated People Movers are useful for any application in which people need to be moved in an efficient, orderly fashion. In automotive assembly lines, people movers can be synchronized with the car line to help workers keep pace. As the name suggests, people movers eliminate the need to workers to walk. This boosts productivity and reduces employee stress on an assembly line.
Moving platforms are sequenced with the assembly, moving people at the same rate of speed as product conveyors. This allows the products to be completed with accuracy and efficiency as workers no longer need to worry about physically keeping up with the line. Ergonomically friendly and safe, UMD’s people movers can also be used with overhead conveyor systems.
