- From manual substrate supply to fully automated intralogistics
- Highly efficient substrate intralogistics from a single source
- Integration with an ERP System possible
Modular Systems for Substrate Intralogistics
The name “Patras” is derived from the abbreviation for “Paper Transport System”. From manual loading to fully automated large-scale intralogistics, from incoming goods to waste disposal, reel or pallet transport, the options are endless.
Designed for supplying winders of printing presses and splicers of corrugators, Patras is extremely adaptable. The intralogistics system also allows pallet logistics for sheetfed printing or converting applications.
Whether web offset, CI Flexo, digital printing, sheetfed printing or corrugators, Patras is a proven high-performance substrate transport system, adaptable to the customers’ requirements.
Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)
The AGVs are used to transport the substrate reels or substrate pallets in the main storage as well as in the daily storage. Supplying the unwinders and unloading the rewinders with AGVs is the ideal solution for printing presses and corrugators.
All is managed by the warehouse management system that is also modular, from organising the part lanes in the main storage to managing transports, reel or pallet, within the daily storage from the unpacking station, to the rack system to the printing press or corrugator.
Application Examples
Feeding of webfed printing presses
Thanks to the modular design, Patras roll logistics can be configured to suit individual production and space requirements for webfed offset printing presses.
Handling for flexographic printing systems
The packaging sector is characterised by a high variability of substrates as well as very specific requirements depending on the segment and size of the company. Patras offers a variable solution, tailored to the customer's requirements.
Reel logistics as an important building block for digital printing technology
Digital printing has already established itself in all areas of the printing industry. Patras is an important building block for the further growth of industrial digital printing technologies on the market.
