Material flow control
The material flow control system manages automated systems and conveyor technology, seamlessly integrating them into the RELAG system. It coordinates individual components such as cranes, shuttles, conveyors, and storage lifts, as well as complex overall processes – right down to the precise supply of individual items to production machines.
Applications
The MFS integrates a wide variety of systems, including automated small parts and high-bay warehouses, paternoster lifts and vertical lift racks, transfer carts, production machines, and picking robots. Even partial automation – such as manual order picking processes based on the “goods-to-person” principle – can be flexibly integrated.
Features and benefits
- Control of movements across multiple sections
- Consideration of batch sequences
- Rejection of defective transport units
- Automatic fault handling
- Emergency concepts for system failures
- Real-time data exchange with machines
- Direct communication with the PLC level
