Typical application · Logistics and distribution
Truck loading and unloading at a distribution center
Configuration for a dock where the trailer is unloaded item by item: a mobile conveyor going into the trailer and continuous conveying to the picking area.
The scenario
What usually holds this operation back
- Trailer unloaded by a human chain, with packages passing from hand to hand.
- Long dock time and trucks standing waiting to be released.
- Sick leave from repetitive strain in a team that makes the same movement all shift long.
Typical region for this application: Greater São Paulo. Manufactured at Demakine's plant in Limeira/SP, Brazil.

Why there is no customer figure here
Demakine only publishes customer results with measurement taken in the operation and written authorization to use name and image. Until that exists, the website shows the technical configuration and the simulation, with open assumptions.
- Real technical configuration, with catalog products
- Labeled simulation, with visible assumptions
- No promise of payback, lead time or percentage
