Knorr-Bremse accelerates automation
Movu Robotics is enhancing Knorr-Bremse’s hub in Lisieux, France with shuttles and elevators by using automation to optimise its manufacturing operations.
Knorr-Bremse has been producing braking systems for rail and commercial vehicles since 1905 and is now looking to ramp up efficiency with Movu’s robotic solutions. The agreement includes ten atlas pallet shuttles with three elevators as well as four “Escala” bin shuttles, which can handle 5,000 pallets and 2,500 bins respectively. The combination of both systems works for small parts up to large volumes.
Thanks to the strategic location in Lisieux, Knorr-Bremse can access production lines and provide parts replenishment in real time. The project, which was facilitated by Delta + Consulting, is set to go live in early 2026 with the installation of Movu’s systems. (mk)
