  • Available in both left- and right-handed configurations.:

Stackers / De-stackers

Stackers / De-stackers
Productinformation
  • Automatically de-stack crates and feed them one by one to the operator. Ergonomic, fast, and reliable.:
  • Available in both left- and right-handed configurations.:

Tipper / inbound workstations

Tipper / inbound workstations
Productinformation
  • Automatically empty full crates or containers into the system. Ideal as a buffer or for the next sorting step.:
  • Easily expandable when capacity increases.:

Future-proof design

Automated workstations from Contour Advanced Systems grow with you. Want to scale up, adjust your layout, or work with different products? Our modular design ensures long-term flexibility.

  • We can upgrade straight chutes to smart chutes
  • We can equip standard direct-to-container systems with a tornado
  • We use few components = minimal spare parts required

Key benefits

Scalable and flexible

Our workstations are modular, easy to install, and adaptable for different crate sizes, products, or additional operators.

Improved ergonomics and safety

Our systems take over heavy, repetitive, or awkward tasks, reducing physical strain and preventing operator injuries.

Maximum efficiency

By partially automating manual steps, processing speed per operator per hour increases—saving time and lowering operational costs.

Greater process control

Standardized human-machine interaction reduces the risk of errors in order picking, packaging, or registration. And what does go wrong is easier to trace—because “to measure is to know.”

Frequently Asked Questions

You can use a workstation for filling or emptying your warehouse or crates, stacking or de-stacking crates, order picking, singulating parcels, and more—depending on your logistics process. We’re happy to advise on a suitable solution.

We offer (semi-)automated workstations, stackers/de-stackers, and tippers. All are modular and tailored to your needs.

Workstations from Contour Advanced Systems offer several benefits: • Increased efficiency per operator • Reduced physical strain • Fewer errors, less stress, lower rejection rates • Quick and easy installation, long lifespan

We focus on ergonomics, speed, modularity, ease of maintenance, and seamless integration with your existing processes. Our goal: durable, high-quality solutions that serve you for years. Got additional requirements? Let us know.

Yes. Our workstations are developed and produced under strict safety and quality standards. Contour Advanced Systems is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and VCA certified. This ensures safe, sustainable, and well-controlled processes.

We use Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLCs. Our software is tailored to your system and integration needs, aiming for intuitive, simple operation.

Standard configurations are usually delivered within 16 to 20 weeks. For custom solutions or new designs, allow an additional ±3 months for design.

Yes, depending on the configuration, workstations can be designed for two operators—one on each side.

That depends on the design, buffer capacity, speed, and crate size. We design as compactly as possible while considering layout and walking paths.

Usually, yes. Thanks to modular construction, we can often expand, elevate, or reconfigure existing stations—though there are some limitations.

With proper maintenance, our systems are built for a service life of 20 years.

Our workstations are low-maintenance. Periodic maintenance prevents wear, malfunctions, and unplanned downtime. We design them for easy access and part replacement.
