COMERIO ERCOLE is strongly investing in innovation for the future. Automated systems, including automated guided vehicles (AGVs), rail guided vehicles (RGVs), robots, monorail transfers, and conveyors, are increasingly used to move raw materials, compounds, components, green tires, and cured tires from one phase of the process to another. Thanks to COMERIO ERCOLE’s new developments, it is now possible to use automated systems directly on the WIND-UP section of RUBBER CALENDER LINES, with two alternative systems available:

• WIND-UP SHUTTLE TYPE WITH AGV and CASSETTES
• WIND-UP SHUTTLE TYPE WITH AUTOMATIC REEL HANDLING (RGV)

The main advantages of the first configuration are that the cassette arrives at the wind-up station fully prepared without any need for manual operations. The AGV automatically unloads the full cassette and loads an empty one outside/inside the wind-up. This is a 100% fully automated process, requiring no operator intervention, with guaranteed safety through an automatic locking/unlocking system for the cassette in the working position.

For the second configuration, the main advantages include fully automatic handling of finished reels and textile liners with an integrated solution according to the customer’s warehouse layout. Here, the operator only needs to prepare the textile liner in advance, providing significant safety improvements thanks to a fully segregated area during reel movement.

COMERIO ERCOLE is investing heavily in R&D to lead the transition to an increasingly digital and automated world. The goal is to work toward Industry 5.0, where value-oriented and human-centered initiatives align with Industry 4.0 technological transformations to create a more seamless interaction between humans and machines.
