Production logistics: Efficient and safe at all levels

The "Big Picture" illustrates the whole process

  • Materials management

    Order is of little use if we do not know what is stored where. Our sensors determine at any time what (identification) is currently where (localization). In addition, regardless of the container, they determine whether there is still sufficient production material and also provide information about the condition of the material.

  • Material loading and unloading

    Material loading and unloading from machines and transport equipment is often a delicate interface in the production process. Here, too, robots contribute to automation and buffer storage helps to compensate for shifts. Control and transparency in order picking avoid downtimes due to missing components.

  • Material storage

    Order is half the battle, but maintaining is often a hassle. Intelligent sensors prevent  collisions, overhangs or overfilling. For example, a smart shelf ensures that a reorder is made at the right time independently. Many products cannot be stored on shelves, they require more (open) space. Mobile identification solutions keep an overview even in seemingly chaotic situations and ensure order and a smooth workflow.

  • Data management

    Data access at any time and from anywhere is the basis for a functioning and efficient supply chain and profitable production. The prerequisite is vertical and horizontal integration, i.e. data availability between several and often different networks and software systems, inside and outside the company. We support you in defining and implementing your ideal and individual solution.

  • Material transport

    Everything should get from A to B at the right time, regardless of whether you use conveyors, tugger trains, industrial trucks, (un)manned vehicles, or mobile platforms. With SICK sensors congestion and collisions are prevented. In order, production stops are prevented and safety is ensured.
