Offering Highlights
Automation Products
PALLET-HANDLING
Flexible Pallet System (FPS)
FPS is a modular automation that enables high spindle utilization in mixed manufacturing with 4 and 5 axis milling and mill-turn machines, designed specifically to integrate larger machining centers.
FPS has a modular 360-degree design, capable of integrating with over 90 machine tool brands, and is equipped with state-of-art production planning capabilities. To fit even on the most challenging space, FPS’s modular design allows machine tools, pallet storage units, and operator loading stations to be placed flexibly on all four sides of the system.
PALLET-HANDLING
Multi-level System (MLS)
MLS is a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) that integrates and automates more than 90 machine tool brands globally. Wide integration options, horizontal and vertical adjustability for any space, and together with the industry-leading control software MMS make MLS the #1 automation choice for high mix manufacturers.
PALLET & PART-HANDLING
Tool Automation
Tool automation is the solution to eliminate the above inefficiencies – it stores large number of cutting tools centrally and transfers them to machining centers just in time. With tool automation, you can extend your lights-out machining capacity, secure tool availability, reduce errors, and minimize your capital investment in cutting tools and magazine pots.
Software & Digital Products
AUTOMATION SOFTWARE
Manufacturing Management Software
MMS is the control of all Fastems automation systems – designed to plan, run, and monitor high-mix, low-volume production environments.
- Centralized planning and control of all production processes
- Real-time transparency across the entire shopfloor
- Support for both automated and manual workflows
- Optimized scheduling for improved delivery reliability
- Scalable to grow with your production needs
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
