Wireless network optimises intralogistics – Automated replenishments for assembly processes
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.

How AGV systems keep track
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.

All-seeing wireless-based material replenishment – Sensor system for Vetter injection pen assembly
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.

Making material flow transparent – Sensors in wireless networks
Combining sensors and a wireless network to create an automated material requisition system (AMS) makes in-house material flow transparent, even for non-inventory-managed articles.

Information flow on the shop floor: closing the gap with wireless technology
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.

Bin surveillance
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.

Track stock levels in assembly and logistics processes
With a wireless-based automated material requisition system, material flow becomes transparent, even for parts which are not inventory-managed. The nexy system from steute is ideal for this purpose. At the LogiMAT, the manufacturer will be showing how the latest nexy version can also perform other tasks.

Down to the last metre – Material requisition in a wireless network
How can automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems be integrated in a digital visualisation of material flow – even with parts which are not inventory-managed and even with AGV from different manufacturers? The answer is a wireless automated material requisition system.

Monitoring material flow in real time
A wireless-based system facilitates uninterrupted automated material requisition and can also integrate mobile transportation, such as AGV and dollies. This option is favoured by e.g. the automotive industry or manufacturers of household devices. Pre-configured applications simplify integration in existing IT infrastructures, and both new (wireless) sensors and new functions are currently available – including an "on premise" solution for the first time.

Automated material requisition in a wireless network - Remote data transfer for needs-based material flow
A "specialist" among wireless systems controls material flow in industrial assembly areas, leading to considerable efficiency and cost benefits for users. The wireless-based nexy system from steute can be integrated seamlessly in the company IT (ERP, MES) and, as a platform strategy, used not only as a communication channel for an automated material requisition system, but also for other tasks.

Multifunctional signal exchange - Wireless network improves material supplies in assembly halls
Information flow before material flow: this is an old principle established for e.g. ERP and warehouse management systems. Practice has shown, however, that even with this principle there can still be gaps in the material supply – especially in the manufacture of variants. A wireless-based requisition system can help in such cases, and can also assume additional tasks.

steute expands material requisition system - Assembly stock tracked to the last small part
With wireless-based material requisition systems, operators can maintain an overview of all articles within their production, even those which are not inventory-managed. At the LogiMAT, steute is showing the latest generation of its nexy system.
