The challenge:
A new production plant with new equipment and production lines was completed in the summer of 2020. As part of this project, the client sought to utilise the destacker from the previous system. As the metal structures and moving parts of the destacker were in an excellent condition, our objective was retrofitting, i.e., upgrading the existing structure by adding an automation system to it.
Time was of the essence with this project.
As a result of various restrictions, the work schedule was all over the place. Therefore, we only had one month to analyse the old device, make all the necessary preparations, acquire the supplies, build the control panel, and carry out the programming work, as well as all the relevant works on site, including the launch.

Result:
Thanks to close cooperation with the client, the existing device was successfully updated. After the maintenance of the mechanical components and the installation of the automation system, the service life of the device was extended by 7–10 years. The new automation system enables modifications to be made at any time and the possibility to provide quick and direct support to the client if necessary. The destacker is the first part of the new production line, which is why it was essential to maximise its efficiency for the proper functioning of the rest of the process.
