The shuttering and deshuttering robot is the core element of the modernized carrousel plant at Voorbij Prefab. Infinity Line, a patented shuttering system, enables gapless shuttering without the use of polystyrene elements while at the same time minimizing the number of shutters required. At Voorbij Prefab, it has for the first time been used in combination with solid wall shutters

Having been active in precast concrete production for numerous decades, Dutch company Voorbij Prefab opted for an extensive modernization of its pallet circulation system. The goal was to optimize and fully automate production processes and to increase production rates while at the same time focusing on the finished product, and thus on the end user. In the Progress Group, Voorbij Prefab found a partner who assisted in modernizing the fleet of machinery, integrating robot technology and implementing a comprehensive software solution. The results are quite impressive.
