Automotive manufacturers worldwide have looked to EFS Gesellschaft für Hebe- und Handhabungstechnik mbH for automated handling devices since 1996. Recently, EFS developed an electric, partially automated system for several German carmakers to help their workers more easily move doors during assembly.
Traditionally, such systems have been pneumatic. EFS customers’ concern about efficient resource use and future-production flexibility, however, convinced EFS of the need to provide them with an electric system capable of digital process sequencing.
