Overhaul Transfer car DS Smith at the Gent site

In cooperation with MINDA, an overhaul solution was developed on two transfer cars at the Gent site of the sustainable packaging company DS Smith. On the one hand the basic structure of the transfer car was revised and on the other hand modernisation approaches from the current transfer car generation could be implemented. An individual spare parts package complemented this solution.

During the overhaul, a constructively revised chassis variant was used. This enabled the implementation of the drive solution from the current transfer car generation. In future, the transfer cars will have two drives which entail an optimised driving behaviour.

The elementary electrical components were renewed in the form of an up-to-date control panel and, in conjunction with a software update, they were able to contribute to the optimisation of the safety equipment. Discontinued components were replaced by successor models or, as in the example of the transfer car positioning, were replaced by state-of-the-art solutions. A laser measuring unit was used here, which will ensure a stable and optimised process in future times.
