Multi-level system (MLS) – a customized flexible manufacturing system (FMS)

The Fastems multi-level system (MLS) is a versatile FMS system that is available in a wide range of configurations: from a single-machine tool FMS to a complex FMS that includes several makes and models of machine tools, material management, integrated robot cells, warehouse functionality, and so on. The MLS has a large storage capacity and requires minimal floor space, and therefore allows you to increase your productivity and grow your FMS system as high as needed to reach your production goals.
