3D forklift guidance system for a multinational automotive supplier
When redesigning the logistics center of a multinational automotive supplier in Mexico, great value was placed on using a state-of-the-art intralogistics solution. In its flagship project, the customer relied on the forklift guidance system innovation of the ABF OneBase-MFT Intralogistics Suite. The state-of-the-art 3D control system currently provides on forklift trucks and reach trucks for the automatic tracking and booking of Euro pallets in the 10,000-seat high rack.
Advantages of the introduction:
- Increasing the efficiency of the transport fleet through route-optimized navigation in the warehouse
- Forcing double cycles
- Reduction of empty runs
- Shortening of the distances driven
- Intelligent distribution of forklifts to different storage lanes
- Situation-dependent allocation of transport requests
- according to current stacker position and routes
- taking into account target times
- on the basis of current capacities
- Avoidance of complex barcode scans
- Automatic material postings in SAP WM
- Permanent inventory
- Maximizing the intralogistics transparency
- Empties management
Functionality:
- Engineering, delivery and commissioning of the hardware for a laser-based RTLS (ZenoLSR from ZENOWAY), as well as the laser height sensor and ultrasonic sensor system for automatic load detection on 7 forklifts
- Supply of industrial DLoG forklift terminals
- Standardized web service interface to SAP WM (WM TORD Transport Order and Confirmation)
- Forklift guidance system with 3D visualization and central 3D MFT administrator application
- Take-over by the ground personnel using a standardized PDA app (on Skorpio X3 barcode scanners)
