KEN HYGIENE SYSTEMS - A CUTTING-EDGE ROBOTIC SOLUTION FOR STERILIZATION CENTERS

KEN HYGIENE SYSTEMS is a well-established company with over 70 years of experience in the development, production, sales, and service of disinfecting dishwashers, lavatory basin washers, laboratory dishwashers, and dishwashers for industrial kitchens, and the food and pharma industry. In collaboration with DIS, they have developed a robotic solution named KEN HYGIENE SYSTEMS AL10. The system is designed to automate tasks that require manual labor and waiting time, relieve staff from transport tasks, and make loading and unloading washing machines more efficient.

Challenges

KEN HYGIENE SYSTEMS was faced with the challenge of developing a robot solution that could be incorporated into everyday routines at a sterilization center. The robot had to be reliable, self-rechargeable, safe to use, and conform to relevant directives and standards. Additionally, it had to transport wash racks from point A to point B, collect wash racks after a wash, and deliver them to a given destination. To develop this robotic solution KEN HYGINE required the assistance of an experience engineering consulting firm.

Solution

To address the challenges faced by KEN HYGIENE SYSTEMS, DIS/CREADIS developed a robot solution consisting of a lifting/lowering function, a connection function, and a push/pull function. These specially developed functions were built onto a robot from MiR (Mobile Industrial Robots) that fully automated the transport of wash racks to washing machines. The robot collected wash racks after a wash and delivered them to a given destination.

Why DIS/CREADIS

When we got the idea for AL10 at KEN HYGIENE SYSTEMS it was natural for us to contact DIS/CREADIS, as they have all the required skills necessary for the development of such a robotic solution. We have worked closely with DIS/CREADIS before and know each other well. DIS/CREADIS has always delivered professional and high-quality solutions and we felt that we could safely leave this task with DIS/CREADIS,” says Kim S. Rasmussen R&D Director at KEN HYGIENE SYSTEMS.

SKY-LIGHT – NEW FLEXIBLE ROBOTIC PACKAGING PRODUCTION MACHINE DELIVERES INCREASED SAFETY FOR NEW PLANT

SKY-LIGHT, a film and packaging manufacturer, has invested in a new production plant that required an efficient and safe packaging system. The previous manual processes were not optimal in terms of the working environment and safety, and the new plant had to be able to handle rolls weighing between 200 kg and 1800 kg (441 lb. to 3968 lb.). This meant that the packaging system needed to be very flexible and capable of adjusting to nine different packing methods. SKY-LIGHT did not have the internal resources to develop this system, and so they contacted DIS/CREADIS to take over the development, construction, design, setup, assembly, and commissioning of the plant.
