Fastems FMS 1:10 Scale Model at IMTS 2014


See It in Action at Methods Machine Tools Booth S-9119



WEST CHESTER, OH – Fastems, LLC is pleased to announce that a fully-featured scaled model of its Multilevel FMS System will be exhibited at IMTS 2014, in Methods Machine Tool Inc.'s booth S-9119. Fastems personnel will be on hand to demonstrate and explain the system, along with helping visitors assess whether increasing automation in their companies makes sense, and how different degrees of automation can be achieved with Fastems wide-breadth of automation system offerings.



The company provides a variety of extendable and flexible manufacturing systems and robot applications, including advanced MMS (Manufacturing Management System) controls, stacker cranes, conveyors, loading/unloading stations, pallet magazines and assembly organizers, and raw material stations. These "open" automation systems can be incorporated with virtually any modern CNC machine tool and auxiliary equipment brands. Typical applications range from joining two machine tools together with a Flexible Palletized Container (FPC) to highly sophisticated, factory-wide flexible manufacturing systems.



The model at IMTS will be controlled by a full-size Fastems MMS5 software operator interface. Its capabilities can extend from a single manufacturing cell to a fully integrated shop-wide system. The MMS5 can also be integrated with other manufacturing plant software, such as ERP and MRP systems, and is fully compatible with MT Connect.



Fastems, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fastems Oy Ab, Tampere Finland. The company established its Cincinnati-area North American headquarters in 2006 as an open integrator of flexible automation systems. Fastems currently employs about 500 people in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
