The fully automatic multiline palletiser is a cost-effective solution offering minimum footprint and clear separation between production and logistics.

Industrial software Maestro+

Efficient automation of industrial processes would be impossible without an advanced software control system. Alvey Group developed its own software package "Maestro+" for, among many others, monitoring production processes and warehouse management.
