Lean manufacturing through Flexible Transfer Systems (FTS)

ADM Automation is a leading UK supplier of automated systems for lean manufacture. Many of our systems are based on the FTS principle. FTS does not replace JIT, POKA YOKE, or KANBAN; it is an enabling tool. It enables you to implement your lean manufacturing strategy more effectively. It's flexible enough to fit in with your way of working and adapt as you strive to improve your process.

It can be evolutionary or revolutionary; it's up to you!

ADM is the leading UK-based supplier of FTS systems for lean manufacturing based on BOSCH Rexroth products. BOSCH Rexroth is the World's largest source of FTS components. By working together we can provide total solutions to your manufacturing problems.

Flexlible Transfer Systems: FTS

Moving product from place to place within a production area, loading and unloading each individual process is often a focus for Lean Manufacturing. Fortunately it is often the simplest part of the process to automate.

The modular philosophy behind FTS permits the construction of flexible assembly installations which are precisely tailored to the individual requirements and the space available, yet are constructed from a range of "off the shelf" components. Where would the fork lift truck be without the pallet? The same principle of a common transport medium can be applied on the production line but without the need for a fork lift driver! Moving product from place to place happens automatically; quickly and precisely.

FTS is a well proven technology used successfully in many lean manufacturing applications. It can make a real difference in improving quality and reducing manufacturing costs.
