More containers, please! Versatile wireless network for intralogistics

The best solution for precise management of material requisition in assembly and production halls is a wireless network which keeps its eyes and ears open – so to speak – and knows where replenishments are located at all times. This guarantees that all assembly points are kept supplied – without shortfalls, across the entire process.

Precision requisition management in intralogistics – Universal wireless network as a platform

"At one fell swoop" – this is the simplest way to describe the different ways of using a wireless network for requisition management. The nexy network assumes multiple functions and facilitates precise control of material flow in production, assembly and consignment.

Machine safety and Ex protection

Machines which are constructed for mechanical process engineering applications in explosive zones have to meet not one, but two demanding sets of rules and standards. They are – for good reason – subject to both machine safety requirements and explosion protection requirements. At the Powtech, steute will be showing switching devices for this special combination of demands – and presenting a new product.

Remote supply replenishment - Integration of AGV, dollies and eKanban racks

Why is an automated requisition system necessary if you already have an ERP or WMS? A good question. It is necessary if stock levels are to be managed not approximately, but precisely.

Closing the gap in the information flow - Live monitoring of material flow with wireless network

Farewell to the conveyor belt: under this motto, multiple forward-thinking companies have reorganised their material flow. Stationary conveyors have been replaced by mobile and thus flexible units, such as AGV, tugger trains or mobile eKanban racks. The prerequisite for such advances is a new approach to information flow – and the logical way to solve this is wireless technology.

The wireless backbone supporting communication

When automating intralogistics, the guiding principle has to be: information flow before material flow – the latter always being mobile. With a wireless network, processes are represented comprehensively and precisely at all times.

Transparency down to the last metre

MATERIAL FLOW – At Volkswagen in Dresden, "transparent manufacturing" is completely real, as more and more production companies now realise the principle of complete transparency, at least at the level of material flow. A wireless automated material requisition system closes the (information) gap down to the last metre.

Emergency pull-wire switch passes test in gravel plant

At a gravel plant in Vennebeck, gravel freshly extracted from the River Weser has to travel a considerable distance on conveyor belts from the floating-grab excavator to the processing and grading machinery. The responsible persons at the gravel plant are currently testing a new series of emergency pull-wire switches.
