Exceptionally smooth running and outstanding durability
In many fields, high-performance plastics put metal in the shade when it comes to meeting the requirements for components’ load-bearing capacity and durability. Building on its applications-based know-how and sophisticated designs, faigle has developed a new generation of support and guiding wheels and other components for shuttle systems.
In intralogistics, wheel reliability is a leading priority. Stoppages cost money, so a proven track record and long service life are all the more important. faigle wheels keep on rolling for up to 15 years, clocking up more than 65,000km along the way.
Intelligent logistics systems with innovative wheels and rollers
The history of intralogistics has been shaped by a steady stream of innovations, with the development of wheels and rollers playing a central role. In the past, transportation and storage of goods had mainly been carried out manually, but the 20th century ushered in a new age of automation. And wheels and rollers were a decisive factor in delivering these efficiency gains: they enabled heavy loads to be moved easily and paved the way for the development of some of the key elements of modern-day logistics, including forklift trucks and conveyor belts.
The introduction of IT-supported warehouse management systems, robotics and AI have not only made these processes more efficient, but more precise, too. Advanced wheels and rollers developed specifically to handle heavy loads and ensure precision manoeuvrability have made a significant contribution to the evolution of modern intralogistics centres. These facilities can handle complex operations such as goods sorting, storage and transportation with astonishing levels of speed and accuracy. And advances in these systems have been made possible by continuous improvements in wheels and rollers.
