For quite some time now, numerous companies have been utilizing the flow or cycle assembly production method to achieve efficient value creation in manufacturing. As the foundation for this production method, the waverail® system provides the ideal entry point into a rail-based transport system with a clearly structured assembly process.

Results of the Flow and Cycle Assembly
Time Savings
- The machine comes to the person–no time lost due to changing workstations.
- Assembly time cut in half compared to stationary assembly
Significantly simpler logistics
- Employees now only need to handle each assembly or part as well as assembly and testing equipment at a single station
- When changes in the assembly process are made, updates only need to be implemented at one station
Better planning thanks to a fixed cycle
- On-time delivery through precise scheduling
- The strict schedule brings problems to light immediately and forces solutions
Increase in quality
- Specialized employees and continuously optimized assembly processes sustainably improve the quality of work.
- This leads to significantly higher quality throughout the entire value chain thanks to repeatable processes.
