Kitting and assembly line for the bicycle industry

The bicycle and e-bike industry is growing rapidly  and is characterized by innovative solutions with high demands on sustainability and tailor-made solutions.

With a range of leading bicycle manufacturers in our portfolio we have extensive experience from delivering smart conveyor solutions to the bicycle and e-bike industry. We help bicycle manufacturers improve productivity and secure capacity through smart kitting- and assembly line solutions. We offer turn-key solutions with our Power & Free overhead conveyors including a carrier designed for optimal ergonomics for the operators.

With the OCS patented overhead conveyors solution – based on friction instead of space-intensive and inflexible chain or the more expensive EMS Electric Monorail system – all requirements are achieved for smooth, quiet and clean moving.

For any kind of bicycle:

Mountain bike, road bike, touring bike, e-bike, cargo bike, scooters etc.

  • Assembly line following lean principles and thus high productivity.
  • Batch or mixed order-based production allows just-in-time production.
  • Sequential and/or parallel workstations for various capacity needs.
  • From kitting and pre-assembly to final assembly, quality control and packaging including needed buffers.
  • Smart layout to optimize floor space utilization.
