FastPlant is a modular, cost-efficient transport system for assembly lines that enables higher production rates within moving or pulsing line concepts. It is widely used in the aerospace sector for the assembly of aircraft, sections or engines. The system is designed to allow clean floor production concepts. FastPlant possess a lifting unit to guarantee ergonomic working levels for the workers. Specific product adapters can be attached. The specially developed software and monitoring system control the production flow and report actual product data as well as fault history. The modular system is very flexible and can easily be extended or relocated. The standardized modules can integrate media, energy and data connections (if required by the process).

Putting the customer at the centre – that is the idea behind the annual SOUL OLPS user meeting at Broetje-Automation. From 19 to 21 March, this year’s SOUL OLPS user meeting took place at the company’s headquarters in Rastede. The annual event is a valuable opportunity for in-depth discussions on current challenges and best practices in NC programming and simulation. In addition to sharing best practices, new features for the leading offline NC programming system were presented, including integration with the latest “3D Experience Platform” and the realisation of a comprehensive digital twin of machine, process and component.
