Tire industry

Solution design

Pesmel’s solutions have been expertly designed and engineered to serve the needs of each individual customer. Tailoring is essential due to variations in production parameters and mill site preconditions as well as end customer needs and requirements. We work in close cooperation with our customers and plan functional, highly automated solutions for both brownfield and greenfield projects. All systems are designed according to the latest safety regulations.

Feasibility study

Real-life situations and conditions at the site are simulated using 3D models of planned or existing production. This is done to understand and analyze operations and identify potential bottlenecks. At the end it will help us optimize the site layout and our customers to make the correct investment.

Process simulation, part of the feasibility study, allows us to anticipate situations that we could not otherwise prepare for. The adaptive model can be manipulated to simulate exceptional situations or possible future needs. Logistics and buffering functions as well as guidelines for the control system can also be defined.

Project implementation

Pesmel has more than 40 years of experience in delivering material handling projects. With deep knowledge and insights into the processes, material flows and end customer requirements we excel in delivering solutions in mechanics, electric, PLC and ICT. Our in-house experts in engineering and manufacturing fulfill the highest international standards and country-specific quality criteria.

As a total system supplier Pesmel takes overall responsibility for the project from pre-engineering to hand-over. Project implementation includes full equipment and system engineering, manufacturing, assembly, testing and commissioning, and work safety is of prime importance throughout the project. We also offer comprehensive training for operators upon commissioning and throughout the lifecycle of our solution. Full documentation is always included in the delivery.

TransTire automated storage

At the heart of our tire industry solution, you will find our patented TransTire AS/RS automated storage and retrieval system, fully integrated with the conveyor system and robots – all fully integrated with the Pesmel Control System.

The TransTire solution is based on high bay storing, which considerably simplifies tire handling within the storage area. There are no cumbersome pallets or racks involved in the entire process. Storing and shipping functions are seamlessly combined for ultimate efficiency. This approach creates significant savings in terms of the investment, operational costs and the footprint of the storage, shipping and handling functions. This fully automated, unmanned solution reduces the time needed for storage and order picking, while improving accuracy and safety. A decreased number of functions and equipment can also equate to up to a 30% reduction in the space required.

The Pesmel Material Flow How® concept does not only cover our automated solutions but support and services across the process lifecycle. A comprehensive service agreement ensures availability through regular maintenance operations as well as fast troubleshooting in unforeseen circumstances. Minimizing the risk of unplanned and expensive downtime is a part of our service ethos.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance guarantees high availability and extends the lifetime of the system. Preventive maintenance minimizes unexpected repairs and helps to keep total investment and operational costs in balance. Regular checks and adjustments ensure reliable operation. Maintenance breaks can also be used for optimizing the processes.

HelpDesk

Our HelpDesk service is there for our customers 24/7 ensuring reliable performance of the process and equipment. A HelpDesk service contract will provide constant access to expert assistance whenever needed. Our specialist will help the customers over the phone or set up remote access to the control system to directly assist in troubleshooting.

Spare parts

We provide comprehensive spare part services for material handling systems. Spare and wear part recommendations are made for every delivery project. Pesmel’s spare part services guarantee the latest, best quality spare parts available.

Upgrades

Frequent upgrades can help extend the lifetime of a process and the profitability of the original investment. Our research and development, focused on material flow how, not only generates innovative process solutions but a variety of cost-effective upgrade packages. The packages include solutions that increase system throughput and capacity or improve operational safety, or they can be software upgrades to the control system.

FlowCare

FlowCare is a remote supervisory and preventive maintenance solution for production facilities. The solution monitors the performance of all Pesmel equipment. Important data is visualized in a web portal that can be easily viewed on a computer or any personal mobile device. The custom-built portal allows creation of various types of reports, including periodical reports, which can be sent out via email.
