How to guarantee that replenishments are supplied to production and assembly reliably and down to the last metre – even for non-inventory-managed (small) parts? A wireless sensor network which is being presented at the LogiMAT has the answer. Different interfaces enable integration in the relevant IT infrastructure, creating an uninterrupted and thus always current digital twin of the material flow.

INTRALOGISTICS – When a wireless network is developed especially for this purpose, the supply of replenishments by AGV can be managed down to the last metre. Using the latest version, this is even possible for heterogeneous AGV/AMR fleets.

A compact product line, automated assembly processes with manual material feeds, disposal of empty containers and packaging: how to manage both staff capacity and material flow in such a way that assembly cells are always sufficiently – yet not excessively – supplied? Pharmaceutical service provider Vetter has found an answer.

Material flow made transparent – also for non-inventory-managed items. A wireless-based automated material requisition system (AMS) provides the solution and can also be used for other intralogistics tasks.

MATERIALS REQUISITION – An automated wireless material requisition system (AMS) maintains an accurate overview of all stock in e.g. materials supermarkets and stations used in automotive manufacturing, as well as other intralogistics applications. Within this system, a range of wireless sensors developed specifically for such use cases detects pallets, load carriers and fill levels.

When selecting wireless networks for their industrial production, many factory planners favour open rather than proprietary networks. However: this apparent contradiction begins to blur, the closer one looks. A comparison of the two systems shows why.

One way of achieving more flexibility when replenishing materials in the factory is mobile eKanban racks: a typical application for network-compatible wireless switching devices and sensors. Eliminating cables is also beneficial for non-mobile eKanban systems, however.

In conjunction with flexible product manufacturing, processing, storage and consignment, information flow needs to be equally flexible. This in turn has an impact on the sensors and switches used at shop floor level. Wireless networks have become increasingly popular here, for example for eKanban systems, due to their many advantages. steute has developed its very own wireless network precisely for such applications, and it managed to include pre-designed modules in time for the LogiMAT 2019.
