Customer profile
ARKA Smart Parcel Lockers (Brașov, Romania)
ARKA Smart Parcel Lockers was founded in 2007 and is a Romanian technology company based in Brașov. The company has evolved from a supplier for the automotive and aviation industries to a developer of cutting-edge technologies for courier, postal, and retail companies. Today, ARKA Smart Parcel Lockers produces intelligent locker systems for international markets. Production is highly automated and comparable with Western European standards. ARKA Smart Parcel Lockers is continuously investing in technology to further increase capacity and ensure quality.
The challenge
Due to rapid expansion and urgent orders, ARKA Smart Parcel Lockers was faced with a major challenge: The wiring process was slow, manual, and error-prone. Electricians performed all the steps – cutting, stripping, crimping, and marking – manually. This took a lot of time and led to delivery delays. In addition, with no standardized wire identification in place, both mounting and on-site maintenance proved challenging.
The worker assistance system from Phoenix Contact has increased productivity significantly. One electrician now completes up to twelve lockers per shift instead of just eight, which was previously the case.
The solution
Together with Phoenix Contact, ARKA Smart Parcel Lockers implemented a software-supported modular solution. The worker assistance system was adapted to the specific requirements and consists of the CUTFOX 10 automatic cutting device, the CF 3000 automatic stripping and crimping device, a THERMOMARK E SERIES thermal transfer printer, and worker assistance software. The solution facilitates digital, efficient, and semi-automated wire preparation: • Software-supported and semi-automated wire preparation • Direct device control for wire processing and identification • Precise cutting, stripping, and crimping • Automated error-free marking of cables • Training provided by Phoenix Contact
50% increase in productivity in wire preparation and wiring
