Our Automatic Transport Unit is the ideal solution when you need to transport dies between floor levels inside the factory.

Safe, efficient, and time-saving

Designed to optimize both space and usability in die and printing plate storage, the ATU streamlines operations by eliminating manual handling. With a simple tool request, the system takes over—ensuring safe, efficient, and time-saving transport between factory floors.

The ATU perfectly complements BCM’s fully automatic AutoStorage system, which has already transformed how dies are stored and retrieved. The AutoStorage automatically manages the collection and return of tools such as flatbed dies, rotary dies, and printing plates, ensuring precision and eliminating the need for manual intervention.

The ATU enhances this process by facilitating vertical transport within the facility. Operators simply input the required tool numbers, and the system handles the rest—quickly, safely, and reliably. Used tools are just as easily returned: loaded into the unit and automatically sent back to their designated storage location.

By removing inefficiencies such as tool searching and manual lifting, the Automatic Transport Unit not only improves workflow but also reduces the risk of damage to both tools and personnel. It’s a smart, forward-thinking solution that reflects BCM’s commitment to innovation and customer-centric design.
