Retrotech projects create value, delight customers

July 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Victor, NY - Retrotech, Inc. a specialist in the integration, design and modernization of automated material handling solutions recently published three new case studies on their website, www.retrotech.com.  

The studies detail modernization and new system design projects for clients in the Food and Consumer Products industries.  Each study covers a unique set of business challenges and demonstrates the depth and breadth of Retrotech’s capabilities in system retrofits and modernizations.

Dole Fresh Vegetables

To reduce the impact on daily production and to spread the financial expenditures over time, Retrotech is upgrading the controls by incorporating a multi-phased approach.  This work scope included the ASRM controls, motor and communications replacement along with removing the obsolete maintenance computers at the end of each aisle.

LiDestri Foods

Retrotech was commissioned to build a 75,000 square-foot automated warehouse expansion at LiDestri’s corporate site.  Using the ACTIV® System technology, LiDestri was able to increase storage capacity at their facility, eliminate off-site warehousing and keep pace with increasing customer demands.

SCA Tisssue

The Eaton-Kenway ASRMs were exhibiting excessive errors with the majority of them due to positioning faults.  The errors were so numerous that SCA Tissue employed dedicated “Crane Chasers” to keep the ASRMs running.  SCA Tissue contracted with Retrotech to correct this problem along with other controller and motor-related issues.

Retrotech, Inc. President Peter Hartman remarked “we offer our clients significant value because we never put our need to sell, ahead of their need to solve a problem.  This approach has allowed our clients to achieve unprecendent success in the markets they serve.  We are happy to be a small part of that success.”
