00:00:00.240 –> 00:00:02.780
Welcome to a new episode of Warehouse & Logistics.
00:00:02.780 –> 00:00:05.780
My name is Michel van Strijp, and today we’re teaming up with our partner Axelent
00:00:05.900 –> 00:00:08.900
visiting one of their projects.
00:00:13.940 –> 00:00:16.640
John-Paul, tell me, where are we going and what are we going to see?
00:00:16.640 –> 00:00:19.960
Today we're in the beautiful Westland region, and we're going to visit the Alcomij company
00:00:20.100 –> 00:00:21.900
a manufacturer of greenhouse structures and are
00:00:21.900 –> 00:00:25.040
I’m going to show you a project that we at Axelent have completed.
00:00:25.640 –> 00:00:26.040
Great!
00:00:26.040 –> 00:00:27.700
Come on, let's go!
00:00:30.960 –> 00:00:32.040
My name is Rob Hordijk.
00:00:32.040 –> 00:00:35.960
I am the Chief Operating Officer at Alcomij, a manufacturer of greenhouse roofing systems
00:00:35.960 –> 00:00:38.960
that we supply worldwide.
00:00:39.900 –> 00:00:42.900
First and foremost, we consider safety to be very important for our employees
00:00:43.160 –> 00:00:48.480
In addition, our new factory building was completed, and we faced challenges in
00:00:48.800 –> 00:00:52.980
organizing the hall, prioritizing safety for employees and machinery
00:00:53.540 –> 00:00:56.540
The installations had to be secured.
00:00:56.960 –> 00:00:59.480
And we also wanted the electricity and
00:01:00.480 –> 00:01:03.480
compressed air was properly supplied to the machines.
00:01:03.500 –> 00:01:05.780
We were looking for a solution that was flexible and
00:01:05.780 –> 00:01:08.780
That's how we ended up at Axelent.
00:01:11.480 –> 00:01:13.400
We are a full-service provider.
00:01:13.400 –> 00:01:14.480
We have
00:01:14.480 –> 00:01:17.500
expertise in safety and security since 1990
00:01:17.540 –> 00:01:21.180
keeping people safe and making sure everything runs smoothly.
00:01:21.420 –> 00:01:24.200
We have a great system for that, and we use it
00:01:24.200 –> 00:01:27.200
Actually, we're all in this together.
00:01:27.260 –> 00:01:27.620
We have.
00:01:27.620 –> 00:01:29.300
When we started this project,
00:01:29.300 –> 00:01:32.900
We looked at the layout, what will be included, and what are
00:01:33.160 –> 00:01:37.740
What are people's movement patterns, and what exactly are the production processes involved?
00:01:38.000 –> 00:01:42.400
And so we looked into safety and the proper installation of collision protection
00:01:42.400 –> 00:01:44.700
and also machine guards.
00:01:48.000 –> 00:01:49.980
With Aandrijving veilig, we can ensure that people
00:01:51.260 –> 00:01:51.900
be able to safely
00:01:51.900 –> 00:01:54.900
operate the machines without coming into contact with the hazardous parts
00:01:54.920 –> 00:01:58.700
and with machine safety measures, we protect both people and machines
00:01:59.540 –> 00:02:02.000
and our forklift operators
00:02:02.000 –> 00:02:03.780
and that is very important.
00:02:05.280 –> 00:02:08.280
We specifically chose guards for the machine
00:02:08.680 –> 00:02:12.840
for our X-Guard product, but also for safety with X-Tray.
00:02:12.980 –> 00:02:15.080
To ensure that cabling and such
00:02:15.080 –> 00:02:18.080
to ensure that nothing gets in the way during the production of goods.
00:02:18.180 –> 00:02:21.740
We have made sure that we can also keep the workspace safe and clean because
00:02:21.740 –> 00:02:25.380
We have installed a base plate on our X-Guard machine guards.
00:02:26.040 –> 00:02:29.540
For the logistics process, we really looked into just a really sturdy, thick
00:02:29.540 –> 00:02:33.140
road closure because heavy internal transport vehicles are already using the road
00:02:33.540 –> 00:02:36.180
and that everyone should stay safe on their walking route or
00:02:36.180 –> 00:02:37.380
on his way to his workstation.
00:02:40.860 –> 00:02:43.000
I think it was important to work with Axelent
00:02:43.000 –> 00:02:46.340
to enter into this partnership, because they
00:02:47.160 –> 00:02:50.340
based on a single request, we were able to provide the full package.
00:02:50.580 –> 00:02:53.580
We're good at what we do: manufacturing greenhouse covers
00:02:54.620 –> 00:02:57.540
So we were actually looking for someone else who specialized in that area to help us with it
00:02:57.540 –> 00:03:01.580
could help and that this would allow them to provide the full picture.
00:03:01.620 –> 00:03:04.620
That was the way to go for us.
00:18:58.740 –> 00:19:01.300
John Paul, tell me, where are we going and what are we going to see?
00:19:01.300 –> 00:19:04.760
Well, we're in Beautiful Westland today, and we're also going to stop by the company to
00:19:04.880 –> 00:19:06.720
a manufacturer of greenhouse structures and are
00:19:06.720 –> 00:19:09.840
I’m going to show you a project that we completed to a high standard.
00:19:10.460 –> 00:19:11.380
Great! Let's go!
