The maintenance model that works in manufacturing — reactive, operator-present, shift-buffered — doesn't work in a 24/7 automated DC. The equipment spec has to match the environment it's installed in.

The reliability criteria that get overlooked in 24/7 DC specs: manufacturer service availability at 2 http://a.m., efficient parts logistics, and real-time monitoring that catches faults as they happen. All three belong in the spec. hubs.li/Q04kBTTl0

AMRs are changing end-of-line — but too often the coordination stops at the palletizer. What happens next matters just as much. Lantech's Ciaran Donnelly KUKA's Andrew Jones on building a truly integrated end-of-line

Yesterday was Lantech Day! Every year we step away from the line, share a meal outside, and actually connect with the people we work with every day. Bonus: the Ehrler's ice cream truck. 🍦Here's to another year doing what we love — together. #LantechDay #TeamLantech #Louisville

~50% of in-transit damage traces to ineffective stretch wrapping. Inside an automated DC, the same root cause stops AMR systems instead. Correct containment force — for the right load type — is the fix. hubs.li/Q04hlmbH0

An AMR stops mid-route. Not a sensor fault. A load with insufficient containment force shifted during cornering. That's a stretch wrapper spec problem — and it's preventable. hubs.li/Q04hl1Dg0

The film tail you sent out today will move through systems that are automated — even if yours isn't. Load integrity doesn't end at your dock door.

In an AMR warehouse, a film tail isn't a wrapping issue — it's a sensor trigger. Robot stops. Backlog builds. Human intervenes. That's what the system was built to prevent. New post on what film tail management actually costs a system. hubs.li/Q04dWQ-70

A highly automated warehouse where someone still has to cut a film tail by hand isn't a maintenance problem. It's a scope problem. ABB puts unplanned downtime at ~$125K/hour — and in an automated facility, a wrap station disruption doesn't stay local.

Film tails triggering AMR sensors. Manual cuts creating cycle time variance the WES wasn't designed to absorb. These aren't random failures — they're spec failures. What to specify for an AMR-integrated wrap station: hubs.li/Q04cdmZW0

That's a wrap on MODEX 2026! Thank you to everyone who stopped by, met with our team, and let us show you what Lantech is building.
Already looking forward to the next one!

In automated lines, reliability wins.
The Lantech C1000 is built for consistent uptime.

Automation maturity isn’t about how advanced your systems look. It’s about whether outcomes repeat—across shifts, people, and variable loads. Repeatability is the real signal.
