LaGuardia Airport - A new airport for a new era

A Groundbreaking Ceremony was held on May 3, 2021, for a new manufacturing plant in Boyne City, Michigan.
Daifuku is investing $21 million to build a world-class 210,000 sq. ft. facility on a 22-acre piece of property at the Boyne Business Park. This new facility, which will be operated by Jervis B. Webb Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daifuku North America, will combine the operations of the existing Harbor Springs, Pellston, and Boyne City plants under one roof. It will be the manufacturing hub for automatic guided vehicles and airport baggage handling products.
In attendance for the Groundbreaking Ceremony were key Daifuku executives, Boyne City’s Manager, members of City Council and Boards, Boyne Valley’s Township Supervisor, Northern Lakes Economic Alliance’s President, as well as the designers, architects, and construction contractors for this project.

“For over 55 years, our business has been part of the Boyne City, Pellston, and Harbor Springs communities,” said Tim Hund, President of Jervis B. Webb. “We are proud of this new endeavor and look forward to consolidating our skilled workforce in one location to expand our manufacturing capability and best serve our customer’s needs.”
Daifuku’s state-of-the-art manufacturing plant is expected to open in the second quarter of 2022. Employees from the Harbor Springs, Pellston, and Boyne City plants can begin working at the new location, and additional people will be hired to fill open positions.
“We are very excited that Daifuku has continued to invest in this community,” said Michael Cain, Boyne City Manager. “Our Boyne Business Park will serve as an excellent location that offers competitive business advantages while supporting the local economy.”
Jervis B. Webb Company builds conveyor components for complex systems that support airports, automotive, and general industries. Some product lines include Mobile Inspection Tables, Conveyors, Vertical Sortation Units, Baggage Claim Carousels, and Automated Guided Vehicle Systems.

Daifuku Breaks Ground for a New Manufacturing Plant

Daifuku announces the introduction of their latest innovation in baggage technology &#8211; Bag-UX, designed to improve baggage system performance by reducing jams and identifying other potential issues that impact throughput capabilities. Bag-UX is the first of its kind, utilizing technology developed by Daifuku to ensure proper baggage orientation at ticket counter load belts before entering the system downstream.
&#8220;When Bag-UX detects a bag orientation issue (also known as bag hygiene), it stops the conveyor belt and identifies the exact issue on the touchscreen display. Common issues with bags include extended handles, soft-sided bags not placed in a tub, wheels facing down or forward, and bags spaced too close together. The operator then corrects the issue, which will initiate the belt to restart and resume normal operation,&#8221; commented Mark Funston, Vice President of Digital Business Solutions, Daifuku Airport Technologies.
&#8220;The application of this technology is not limited to the ticket counter operations with the ability to be used in other areas of the baggage system as a preventative measure to streamline operations. Airport operations are time-dependent; this solution is just one area Daifuku is investing in to allow our client&#8217;s operations to gain efficiencies.&#8221;
The initial pilot program commenced in December 2020 for United Airlines at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), with additional programs scheduled to roll out internationally in the coming months.
