Energy-free automation
Karakuri solutions for production – Mechanical process optimization with CREFORM
Karakuri solutions from CREFORM improve production processes without electricity. The systems utilize gravity, leverage, and precisely calibrated mechanics to move materials.
Optimize material flow mechanically
Many processes in manufacturing and logistics are still manual, time-consuming, or physically demanding. Karakuri uses gravity and mechanics to automate these movements without electricity – lean, flexible, and economical. CREFORM combines this technology with modular systems, customized components, and consulting services.
Typical challenges in production & logistics
transport costs
Manual material handling ties up time, personnel, and resources.
Process fluctuations
Varying processes and waiting times make a stable material flow difficult.
Ergonomic risks
Repetitive lifting, carrying and transporting activities put a strain on employees.
Energy consumption
Simple material movements require unnecessary use of drives and energy.
Adjustment effort
Layout and product changes necessitate extensive adjustments to material flows.
Technology dependency
Complex systems increase maintenance costs and susceptibility to malfunctions.
