Logistics software and IT connection in an automated high-bay warehouse with automated narrow-aisle forklifts

Our intelligent IT connection ensures seamless control and monitoring of the automated high-bay warehouse, including narrow-aisle forklift trucks and conveyor technology. The entire machine and conveyor control system is PLC-controlled, ensuring reliable and precise control. Communication between the systems and the warehouse management system (WMS) is realised centrally via a PLC or a material flow controller (MFC) - flexibly selectable via WLAN or fixed cabling.

Our solution relies on proven M2M communication technologies such as OPC UA via TCP/IP to ensure a stable and secure connection between machines, conveyor technology and MFC. Of course, alternative interfaces such as MQTT (VDA5050) are also possible in order to fulfil individual requirements. This open architecture enables flexible integration into existing IT landscapes and ensures a smooth flow of data in automated high-bay warehouses.
