Drake & Farrell wanted an internal transport solution, but had only mapped out the main points. Berry Selhorst, Head of Operations at the company: “We had a maze of conveyor belts with lots of malfunctions. That is why we were looking for a new solution. But not a lot was clear at that stage. FS Solutions helped us like a sparring partner.” Berry is more than happy with the complete solution they implemented. “The system has not failed even once. That makes me really happy.”
Drake & Farrell’s production process makes the world a better place. They take old equipment and give it a second life. For example, they delete the data, update the software, check for technical and cosmetic functionality, and package the equipment as new. Berry:
“We process almost one and a half million parcels in a year. So, we really don’t want our conveyor belts to stop any old time due to malfunctions and unplanned maintenance. That prompted our search for a new transport solution.”
“I hope I can tackle many more projects with FS Solutions.”
– Berry Selhorst, Head of Operations at Drake & Farrell
When Berry saw a transport solution from FS Solutions, it was like love at first sight.
“Our old Drake & Farrell building had five conveyor belts, each driven by its own motor. I was at a partner’s premises and saw a robust conveyor belt with few drives that only needs maintenance once a year. I knew it immediately. I’ll contact FS Solutions.”
Removal of parts from old devices.
“Our company is growing at lightning speed. The flexible conveyor belts of FS Solutions are just as fast. Everything is easy to adjust and disengage. It’s also easy for use to add new stations.”
– Berry Selhorst, Head of Operations at Drake & Farrell
Accessible, flexible, and a terrific feeling. You will hear these words right away when Berry talks about their collaboration with FS Solutions.
“The approach changed occasionally because our question was not yet defined. The FS Solutions team handled this quite well. They participated in many of our meetings where we got everyone on the same page. FS Solutions came with great ideas and gave us the help we needed.”
“And even if something didn’t work out well on their part, they always found a solution.” Berry refers to the waste processing process of cardboard. In practice, the cardboard did not drop down properly into the recycling bin. “Peter Horselenberg of FS Solutions quickly went into action. Don’t ask me how he did it, but after he solved it, it worked perfectly!”
