Engineering services for material handling technology systems and a high-bay warehouse 

Engineering-Dienstleistungen aus einer Hand für Automobilzulieferer: Elektroplanung, SPS-Programmierung, Visualisierung mit WinCC flexible. Nach der Inbetriebnahme erfolgen Schulungen der Bediener, des Wartungspersonals sowie der Kundenhotline.

Task: Assume responsibility for project management and independent project implementation

On behalf of a customer, we were tasked with the electrical planning, software programming and commissioning of a high-bay warehouse material handling technology system.

From a design perspective, the following components were fitted:

  • Gravity roller conveyers, chain conveyors, lift tables, rotary tables, lift-/rotary tables...
  • Lifts
  • Shuttle cars
  • Scanners
  • Scales
  • Fire safety system interfaces
  • Computer interfaces to the master computer and material flow computer
  • SPS Siemens S7 CPU 315-2 PN/DP // CPU 414-3 PN/DP
  • Various bus systems: Profibus, Profinet, Ethernet, ASI bus, Interbus
  • Numerous control points
  • Visualisation with WinCC flexible or PC program
  • Pallet tracking integrated within material handling technology control system
  • Routing within the facility by material handling technology control system
  • Routing through the material flow computer (MFC)
  • Facility safety by way of conventional relay technology
  • Safety function by way of secure SPS (S7 Failsafe)

Solution: High-quality implementation of electrical planning and software programming

To complete the order, we implemented the following tasks step-by-step:

  • Preparation of the circuit diagram
  • Component design
  • Programming of the SPS program
  • Commissioning of material flow handling technology
  • Production supervision for the facility
  • Operator training
  • Maintenance training
  • Relinquishment of the project to the customer’s hotline

Benefits of this automation solution

  • Elimination of the customer’s capacitive bottlenecks
  • Provision of professional know-how, ideas and solution expertise
  • Assumption of all electronic design and software programming responsibilities:
    • complete resolution of the interfaces using individual components
    • full accomplishment of the electro-technical task within the respective project
    • complete clarification of the interfaces with other suppliers, e.g. of the laser, motors, etc.
