FROM PALLET TOWER INTO MULTI-MACHINE FMS
FPS Stationary
Flexible Pallet System Stationary (FPS-S) is a compact automation solution for your 4 and 5 axis milling machine tools. It is a modular tower-like pallet automation that can be extended to a full multi-machine FMS.
- Increases machine tool spindle hours by storing high amount of ready-loaded fixtures.
- Modular tower-like solution that can be extended to full Flexible Pallet System (FPS) automating many machine tools.
- Ready-made interfaces for over 90 different machine tool brands – compatible also with machines without automatic pallet changers.
- Payload versions from 500kg to 1,500kg.
Come and build your own solution with our configurator!
EXTEND YOUR FMS LIGHTS-OUT CAPACITY
Pallet Auto-Loading Cell
ALD (Auto-Loading Cell) is a robotic solution for loading and unloading the machining pallets in your FMS. It enables long unmanned production cycles over nights and weekends even with shorter machining cycles.
- Extends FMS lights-out capacity with minimal space and fixture investment.
- Timely and automated scheduling and execution of pallet loading tasks.
- Allows running both low and high volumes with the same FMS.
- Integrates flawlessly with your Fastems FMS.
- Combine both manual and automated loading in your FMS.

Productivity Lab
How to achieve high cell productivity, whole workshop transparency, on-time delivery and productivity at the same time?
Fastems FMS Productivity Assessment service helps you identify opportunities for improvement and optimize your manufacturing operations for maximum output.
We specialize in analyzing flexible manufacturing systems, integration with production environment, organizational alignment and surrounding processes to uncover inefficiencies, streamline workflows, and drive operational excellence.
AUTOMATION SOFTWARE
Manufacturing Management Software
MMS is the control of all Fastems automation systems – designed to plan, run, and monitor high-mix, low-volume manufacturing.
- Centralized planning and control of all production processes optimizes production flow for faster throughput and minimum waste.
- Easy and real-time view on the entire shopfloor – what happens now and in the future.
- Support for both automated and manual workflows.
- Adaptive scheduling and resource check increases delivery reliability and minimizes machine idle and WIP.
DIGITALIZING MANUAL PROCESSES
MMS – WCO
(Work Cell Operation)
Many steps in manufacturing,
like sawing, washing or packaging, still run without any system connection, and are managed manually with Excel sheets and papers.
WCO allows you to
go paperless and manage these operations digitally –
reducing idle time, manual work, and unnecessary work-in-progress:
- Paperless production for non-automated operations
- Effective digital planning with fewer delays
- Smoother flow between automated and non-automated areas
