The advantages of air freight between production areas and warehouses

• Air transport of goods between any point of the installation, based on an electro-railway with independent trolleys equipped with intelligence trolleys that enable them to make the most optimal decision, is emerging as the dominant trend in intralogistics automation.
  

• Singular Logistics designs and develops solutions so that all industries can access the automation of their warehouses, which up to now has only been accessible to large companies only accessible to large companies due to the high cost.

In today’s globalized world, where companies have to achieve every little competitive advantage that allows them to fight not only against local companies, but also with those in the same field in the other half of the world, the not only against local companies, but also against those in the same field in the other half of the world, logistics is becoming one of the main areas of investment.

The automation of the transport of materials and goods between production areas and warehouses is one of the best weapons in the interests of improving logistics productivity. This optimization of company intralogistics increases speed, safety and productivity, ensuring a smooth and optimal flow of materials from the raw materials warehouse through production to the company’s finished goods warehouse.

In this sense, overhead air conveyor solutions are emerging as the most reliable way to achieve faster, safer and less error-prone transport of products from the production area to the warehouse from where they will be shipped to customers.

All this without forgetting that, as they are structures suspended from the ceiling of the center, they free up a really considerable amount of space that can be used for other purposes, which makes them the ideal solution both for those companies that require a high level of cleanliness and sanitation (the plant can be disinfected at any time) and for those that cannot or do not want to carry out a major transformation of their production centers.

Air transport of products from the production area to the warehouse

However, these air transport systems have always been off-limits to small and medium-sized companies. Their high cost of implementation and maintenance meant that only large companies could take advantage of the benefits of a system that required both a high level of initial investment and a great complexity of configuration, which also made them very uncomfortable and costly to adapt to new needs.

Aware of this problem, Singular Logistics has created a completely disruptive system that is not only more affordable from an economic point of view, but also much simpler to install and much more flexible in terms of its ability to adapt to new needs.

If the traditional overhead conveyors of goods in production centers had a central intelligence that controlled the entire flow of materials and products, Singular Logistics has transferred this intelligence to the carts, providing them with an autonomy that allows them to change lanes by themselves to reach the destination point by the shortest and fastest route possible.

This in turn allows two additional advantages. On the one hand, the infrastructure necessary for its operation, the electrified tracks, no longer require the use of expensive materials such as aluminum, nor a current that is certainly dangerous at 380 with alternating current in its electrified beams. The result is a steel construction and very low voltage tracks, a much more affordable project for the company and safer for its workers.

These characteristics do not in any way affect the performance of a system that, like the traditional electrified track systems, guarantees a continuous flow of products and optimizes the loading and unloading processes, which can provide savings in operating costs in those areas where they are implemented.

This is not only a considerable competitive advantage, but also allows for very short automation and payback times.

Singular Logistics, scalable solutions for all types of companies.

In a country like Spain, where SMEs account for 99.8% of companies and 66% of total business employment, it is essential not only for their survival but also for their success.
For all these reasons, Singular Logistics has focused its efforts from the very beginning of the company on developing affordable and, above all, scalable solutions that allow medium-sized companies to take advantage of the benefits of Factory 4.0.

In this aspect, the scalability of its solutions is fundamental. A company that trusts Singular Logistics will not see its growth tied or limited to its air transport systems, but will be able to start with a project that meets its current specific needs and scale it up to where growth will take it, made possible, among other factors, by these same solutions.
