Optimizing Material Handling Flows in Tire Manufacturing

Optimisation de flux transitiques dans une Usine Pneumatiques

How can a tire production workshop maintain performance when production flows constantly change?
IESA tackles this challenge by providing its expertise in industrial automation and material handling (transitics), ensuring reliable conveyor systems and improved operational efficiency.

Three Projects, Three Challenges, One Factory

In a post-curing workshop, where material handling drives every step of the process, our teams are working on three strategic projects within the same facility:

  1. Adding a New Output to an Existing Sorter

The goal is to adapt an existing system to increase flexibility and meet evolving production needs. This modification prevents downtime and increases sorting capacity.

  1. Updating Transitics and Warehouse Programs

To integrate a new product size, our teams update control logic and interfaces. This ensures a smooth and secure transition without disrupting ongoing production.

  1. Optimizing and Troubleshooting Another Sorter

Performance and availability of sorting systems are critical to meeting production schedules. IESA intervenes to fix issues, reduce downtime, and improve overall flow reliability.

Expertise Tailored to Each Conveyor System

These three projects involve three different conveyor systems, each with unique technical constraints. Leveraging our knowledge in industrial automation and simulation, IESA anticipates the impact of modifications, tests solutions in advance, and ensures safe commissioning on site.

Concrete Benefits for the Client

  • Reliable flows to minimize downtime and maintain production pace. 
  • Increased flexibility to accommodate new product sizes. 
  • Optimized existing systems through a global, technical approach.

This work demonstrates IESA’s ability to support industrial clients in modernizing their material handling workshops while enhancing performance and competitiveness.

Preparing for Evolving Automated Lines

In a sector where responsiveness and performance are critical, optimizing industrial transitics is a key factor for competitiveness.
