The instant picture cameras of polaroid are just renowned. While handling chemicals for the production of instant film magazines, the company Polaroid is relying on a pneumatic balancer with an integrated scale.
By using a chromatic process, the technological miracle of instant colored pictures is rendered: during manufacturing the film magazines for the cameras, the staff of Polaroid in Monheim-on-Rhine handles bags with chemistry regarding the colors for these film magazines.
An ergonomic, safe and very fast handling system of the German company Best Handling Technology helps the employees to lift these bags easily, so that their health is maintained.
Individually customized: a knuckle boom crane with a pneumatic balancer
With regard to these requirements of Polaroid, the experts of the company Best Handling Technology have mounted a knuckle boom crane sidewards to a steel platform. This is a very common challenge for Best Handling Technology because all the handling systems can be adapted individually to the needs of industrial and logistical customers. Hence, a pneumatic balancer is attached to this knuckle boom crane. It has got the ability to be steered and to weigh, and it is equipped with an operator control, a display, a special gripper with a handle including a 360-degree range and double control keys for the whole load suspension device.
The complete handling system enables the staff within intralogistics to lift the bags from big cartons and drop them to small load carriers effortlessly and efficiently. Therefore a high velocity of intralogistics within the process of manufacturing film magazines for instant picture cameras is ensured at the company Polaroid.
Polaroid needs these conveyed plastic flow bags containing chemical color components for manufacturing the film magazines, as it is required to print the photos immediately once the cameras are used by the purchasers later on.
A long supply chain process: from the Polaroid factory to the vendors
In Japan and the USA, the people are just crazy for these old school instant picture cameras. Yet it is a long logistical way until the on-trend cameras can be offered by vendors, online shops and retailers, so that adults as well as children being intrigued by it can purchase and use these instant picture cameras. The balancer ezzFLOWpneumatic and the crane system ezzLINK which are used in the Polaroid factory are just a reliable part of that long supply chain process: to the delight of those who manufacture the cameras and of those who buy it.
