The IMSTec Inclaim Buffer Station (AIS) is an automated system for storing incoming orthopaedic parts located on logistic trays at the introduction of part(s) to the Production Line. As part of a fully automated process its main purpose is to maximize productivity by decoupling the automated process from operator driven processes. The buffer station comprises a load and unload port, a buffer rack with 22 slots for filled logistic trays, this design can also be used as an output buffer. Inventory control with full traceability is also offered and is achieved through an integrated RFID reader in the Logistic trays.
