Exmac Automation has
completed a contract to
design and install a materials
handling system for a new
Completely Knocked Down
(CKD) facility at the Jaguar
Land Rover (JLR) plant at
Halewood, where complete
car sets are prepared for
shipping to sites around the
world for local re-assembly.

To prepare the knockdown
kits for shipping, the
production engineering team
at JLR needed a handling
system that would enable
bodies and other
components to be taken from
existing production facilities
and transported to the new
CKD facility.

Exmac worked closely in
partnership with the JLR
engineering team to develop
both conveying and handling
systems that would integrate
seamlessly with the existing
Freelander assembly system.
