Co-production with SEW
Suppliers can turn into customers, too
The new gear unit production site in Suzhou, China was equipped with an SEW-controlled EMS facility in cooperation with SEW Germany and SEW China. The highlight here certainly was the completely newly developed EMS scissor lift hanger with a four-meter stroke.
The largest EMS facility to date goes into operation
UP was allowed to plan and execute an EMS facility in intralogistics in Singapore. The first project in a new industry also was the largest project in the still-young company’s history so far. A total of 6,040 m of EMS rail, 134 EMS switches, 150 EMS vehicles, and 12 EMS lifters were supplied, installed, and commissioned.
EMS technology is expanding
UP is planning, designing, and delivering the first inverted electrical monorail system (IEMS), once again for tobacco production in China. This one goes to Ningbo.
Establishment of UP Automation Engineering (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd
In order to offer even more customised facilities from a single source, the company was expanded to include the business areas of automation, electrical engineering, and plant control.
First EMS plant in Europe
UP is able to supply the first EMS facility in Europe. An EMS circuit about 200 metres in length connects dispatch to a high-bay warehouse with six EMS vehicles. The extreme ambient temperature of -28 ° bears mentioning as a special feature here. It was a true challenge for technology and material!
