The Challenge
The Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, a US Air Force maintenance and repair operation, needed to modernize its material handling systems to support increased aircraft maintenance throughput demands. Legacy conveyor and material handling systems were unreliable and could not meet the growing operational tempo requirements.
The Solution
Rockwell Automation modernized the Warner Robins material handling and conveyor control systems, implementing a modern automation platform across the Air Logistics Complex. The upgraded systems provided improved reliability and throughput capacity for defense aircraft maintenance operations.
Results
Warner Robins achieved an 80% increase in throughput following the automation modernization. The improved system reliability and capacity enabled the Air Logistics Complex to support increased aircraft maintenance demands from the US Air Force.
Key Takeaways
Defense MRO operations face unique automation requirements because throughput directly impacts military readiness, making reliability engineering requirements more stringent than commercial applications. An 80% throughput increase from material handling modernization demonstrates how legacy conveyor bottlenecks can constrain overall facility capacity far beyond the conveyor line itself. Government defense facilities benefit from Rockwell Automation's defense sector certifications and supply chain reliability for long-life infrastructure investments.
