“Vanessa’s submission was one of a huge number that we received” says  Jackie Canny, Ultimation’s CEO. “The scholarship is a merit-based award, and we asked each applicant to propose ideas that demonstrate innovative ideas for the use of motorized roller conveyors with 24V DC motors. Vanessa proposed an energy efficient system utilizing gravity conveyor rollers and motorized rollers.

At the end of the downhill sections she proposed MDR braking systems that would recapture the energy and provide the power to adjacent motorized rollers. Our judging panel was impressed by her understanding of these innovative material handling concepts.”

 

Ultimation will be announcing the theme and details of the 2021 STEM Scholarship soon.
