ACH Milan was provided with a solution that had the flexibility and capabilities that the plant desired

Bastian Solutions was able to support all production runs during testing and were prepared for full production when needed

The number of operators needed to work the system was reduced by approximately 2-3 fork truck drivers per shift, or 6-9 operators per day

Bastian Solutions was able to build a strong relationship with the ACH team and the plant and have since been awarded several additional projects on new productions lines
