Pouch Sorter for Medical Device Production: The Alcon Case Study

An Innovative Solution for Complex Logistical Challenges Alcon needed to optimize a production area with a dynamic storage solution. The space was already confined, so the system had to boost productivity and quality control without expanding the footprint. Traditional temporary-storage solutions couldn’t meet these constraints, or they limited production flexibility. ferag.skyfall proved to be a […]

Pouch Sorter for Fashion Logistics: The Mayoral Case Study

Skyfall System Challenge & Project Goals ferag.skyfall Pouch Sorter for Fashion Logistics: Results With this Skyfall pouch sorter for fashion logistics, Mayoral gained a single system that handles both flat goods and garment-on-hanger (GOH) items — semi-automatic loading and fully automatic unloading of up to 2,000 pouches per hour, with room for further sorter and […]

Tote Conveyor for Picking and Packing: The PenCarrie Case Study

Project Challenge The ferag.skymove solution Ferag engineered two ferag.skymove loops that connect PenCarrie’s picking zones straight to the pack benches, removing the separate consolidation step altogether. Because totes move directly between zones and benches, pickers spend less time walking and more time picking. The same conveyor loops let PenCarrie spread fast-moving SKUs across multiple zones, […]

Compact Sorting System for Shoes and Fashion: The MyBox Case Study

Project Challenge The ferag.skysort solution Ferag routed the ferag.skysort tilt-tray sorter in a circular layout, so the full 205-metre sorting line fits inside MyBox Logistics’ existing footprint rather than requiring extra floor space. Individual trays carry shoes and fashion items of very different shapes and sizes, tilting automatically at the correct discharge point. Because the […]

Space-Saving Sorter for Outbound Sorting: The Zalando Case Study

Challenge and Project Goals The ferag.skysort.compact solution Ferag fitted a ferag.skysort.compact vertical sorter into Zalando’s existing building in Erfurt. The compact tilt-tray sorter runs 31 metres long. It serves 18 sorting destinations across 120 trays. Because the trays tilt to either side, the system handles both rigid boxes and soft polybags on the same line. […]

Space-Saving Sorting for Photo Products: The CEWE Case Study

Project Challenge The ferag.skysort solution Ferag routed the ferag.skysort tilt-tray sorter through all three dimensions to fit the line into CEWE’s existing building. Trays tilt sideways to release photo products at the correct point, then flip upside down for the return journey along the ceiling, four metres above the hall floor, before righting themselves again […]

Lubricant-Free Conveyor for Food Handling: The TIOR Case Study

Project Challenge and Goals The ferag.skymove solution Ferag built a ferag.skymove line for TIOR that runs 136 metres without a single interface. Three 0.75 kW drives power the whole conveyor. Because the system needs no lubricant, it meets the hygiene standards of a food handling area without extra cleaning steps. The conveyor also runs extremely […]

Cardboard Disposal Conveyor for Returns Processing: The Zalando Case Study

Project challenge The ferag.skymove solution Ferag replaced manual box handling with two ferag.skymove conveyors, each running the length of the incoming-goods area at Brieselang. The conveyor sits above head height, so staff simply toss boxes upward instead of walking them to a central point. A low-power 1.6 kW motor drives each 410-metre line, keeping energy […]

Compact Sorter for Large-Format Photo Products: The CEWE Case Study

Project Challenge The ferag.skysort.compact solution Ferag fitted a ferag.skysort.compact vertical sorter into CEWE’s existing building in Oldenburg. This compact tilt-tray sorter runs 38 metres long. It serves 22 sorting destinations across 54 trays. Because the trays measure 75 x 55 centimetres, the system handles CEWE’s largest products, including DIN A3 photo calendars. A spiral section […]

Spiral Conveyor for Mineral Water Bottling: The Bisleri Case Study

Project challenge The ferag.skymove solution Ferag engineered a ferag.skymove plate chain conveyor configured as a compact spiral, routing bottles down through the building without a single transfer point. Because the carrier chain runs on low-friction rollers, the system copes with the weight of full PET bottle shrink-packs while keeping energy consumption and noise low — […]
