| No | Equipment/ Professional software | Picture | Courses/Documents/Videos |
| 1 | Conveyor and pallets
The conveyor frame is constructed of extruded, black, anodized aluminum. A double flexible chain moves in the inner and outer rail and moves the pallets by friction. The pallets are not removed from the conveyor to increase the efficiency of part conveyance. |
 |
|
| 2 | Automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS)
The ASRS storage station includes a floor-mounted storage unit with 72 storage cells arranged in two facing stacks containing materials/products, a Cartesian robot to transfer parts between storage cells and conveyor pallets at the ASRS station |
