The client, a biological firm focused on bee cultivation for agricultural applications, faced multiple challenges. These included a necessity for ergonomic design to ease operator strain, a reduced cycle time for hive assembly, and most critically, the flexibility to adapt to biological design criteria—since we are dealing with living organisms.
To address these specific needs, Premier Industries deployed its deep-rooted expertise in mechanical engineering and custom machinery. We designed a Conveyance System equipped with Hopper Loading, focused on automated hive section assembly. The system incorporated ergonomic design elements to alleviate operator strain, optimized for quick cycle times, and was built with the adaptability to meet unique biological design criteria.
The result was a highly specialized hive assembly machine that not only increased the efficiency of the hive assembly process but also improved operator comfort and allowed for future adaptations based on biological needs. This has set the stage for the client to scale their operations more effectively and adapt to ever-changing biological variables with ease.
