Mezzanine combined with robotics: new challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a specialist in mezzanine floors, we have noticed that in recent years our customers demand has changed. At first, requests were mainly for mezzanine floors where automated systems such as cranes and forklifts could be used. Now we see an increasing demand for mezzanines suitable for robotization. One example is the driving of Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) across a mezzanine floor.<\/p>\n


Different approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The use of these robotics requires an entirely different design approach to our mezzanine floors. Where previously the emphasis was on supporting traditional systems, the demand now focuses on creating mezzanines suitable for robotics. This brings technical challenges as clients have specific requirements for things such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The integration of roller tracks<\/li>\n
  • The movement frequencies of robots<\/li>\n
  • The positioning of support columns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This requires from us not only technical insight but also creativity. Our task is to design a safe and efficient floor that meets all these requirements.<\/p>\n

    Efficiency<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    During the design phase, our engineers use their expertise to find the best balance between deflection, floor load and column spacing. An optimal distribution of the columns (column grid) in combination with the support beams ensures a stable support of the mezzanine. Of course, this takes into account the client’s specific requirements in terms of robotization. This creates an effective and efficient construction that meets the required safety standards.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
