The Baumann lean|box – A Modular Platform for Intelligent Lean Automation. Standardised. Scalable. Efficient.
Optimised to the Last Detail. Reduced to the Essentials.
The Baumann lean|box is a modular platform for standardised lean automation – perfectly tailored to the demands of modern manufacturing. Thanks to its configurable design, combinable loading options, and smart process integration, even complex tasks can be implemented in a space-saving and cost-efficient manner.
Depending on your requirements, two configuration levels are available:
lean|box entry for manual assembly and inspection processes
lean|box premium for semi- and fully automated applications with advanced control requirements
Short lead times. High flexibility. Clear standards.
Whether manual, semi- or fully automated processes – the lean|box is the smart entry into lean automation.
lean|box entry – The Smart Entry into Lean Automation
The lean|box entry is a compact, cost-efficient solution for manual assembly and inspection processes. Ideal for companies looking to start lean and scale up later.
Highlights:
Minimal footprint with maximum functionality
Fast loading and unloading
Guided assembly via visualization or pick-by-light
Perfect for manual workstations, test stations, or simple assembly tasks
lean|box premium – High-Level Semi- and Full Automation
For more complex requirements, the lean|box premium is the ideal solution. This platform is designed for semi- and fully automated applications with medium to high control complexity. Also available as an HD cell (Heavy Duty) for heavy loads or robotic applications.
Highlights:
Robust frame structure with polycarbonate safety glazing
Manual or automatic loading and unloading
Compatible with conveyor systems, drawers, or rotary indexing tables
Integrable testing technologies (AOI, pin check, smart|vision)
Versatile Processes – Standardised and Flexibly Combinable
The lean|box stands out for its cross-process integration capabilities. Whether simple assembly or complex end-of-line testing – the platform adapts to your specific needs.
Examples of integrable processes:
Handling
Screwing
Hot staking
Dispensing
Label application
Press-fit assembly
Packaging
Testing technologies: AOI, pin check, smart|vision
Connectable, Reusable, Scalable
Thanks to standardised loading options, the lean|box can be seamlessly integrated into existing line concepts:
One Piece Flow
Chaku-Chaku
Fully automated in-line operation
The modular design also allows for easy expansion or conversion – perfect for future requirements.
