FULL TRACEABILITY
Fully programmable RFID system can be used to track contents including Kit IDs, missing plies and ply life data.
FibreSTORE
Composite ply storage system
The best kit on the composite market
Our ply kitting storage systems are designed for use in combination with one of our robot or gantry mounted deposition systems.
Nested plies of carbon fibre can be picked from the cutting table or conveyor and sorted into discrete kits in reverse lay-up order. Each part of the kit is logged via a RFID system so its position is known.
Specific and bespoke designs available to your particular requirements while considering the fibre deposition system being used.
FibreSTORE is part of our comprehensive automated composite ply handling and management solution FibreKIT (coming soon!), find out more on our composites solution page.
