Gottschalk Palettenservice, a leading company in the pallet industry, has implemented a pallet repair line from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS), improving repair efficiency by up to 35%. This solution is specifically designed to enhance the efficiency and ergonomics of repair processes. Featuring a configuration with side-fed supply from six workstations and three stackers, the repair line increases productivity and improves working conditions by eliminating the need for workers to manually transport damaged or repaired pallets.
Efficient and Ergonomic Design
The repair line is equipped with a side-feed system that delivers pallets in small stacks directly to the workstations of repair personnel. This minimizes manual lifting and ensures an ergonomic working environment. After repairs, the pallets are transported via a conveyor to one of the three stackers, where they are neatly stacked for further handling. Additionally, workers dispose of wood waste through a dedicated waste conveyor that moves the material to a central container. This system maintains a clean and safe workplace, significantly improving the working environment. The entire setup is designed to streamline workflow and boost efficiency, requiring only one forklift operator to manage pallet supply and removal.
Real-Time Insights with SCADA Technology
The pallet repair line is equipped with SCADA technology, which provides real-time data on repair operations. Daily CSV reports offer detailed insights into the number of repaired pallets, sorting details, and the repairs performed at each workstation. This valuable data enables Gottschalk Palettenservice to monitor performance, identify bottlenecks, and further enhance efficiency. With these data-driven insights, the company can make informed decisions to maximize operational efficiency.
Always Connected with the PSS App
The PSS App allows Gottschalk Palettenservice to access live data from the repair line at any time. Managers can monitor the line’s status in real-time, analyze results, and take immediate action if necessary. This innovative tool offers enhanced control and flexibility, which are critical in the dynamic pallet industry. The PSS App ensures continuous tracking of performance and maximizes operational efficiency.
Benefits of the PSS Repair Line
The PSS repair line is specifically designed to improve ergonomics and productivity. The side-feed system reduces the physical strain on workers, while the conveyor and stackers increase the speed and efficiency of operations. The addition of a waste conveyor to a central container further contributes to a clean and safe workspace. With only one forklift operator required, the processes are cost-effective and seamless, enabling up to a 35% increase in production capacity.
Thanks to the modular design of PSS machines, the line can be customized to meet the specific requirements of Gottschalk Palettenservice.
