Migration of the existing iFD material flow control software (MFCS) at the Pfaffenhofen site to the latest version, including the renewal of the visualisation and the integration of driverless transport systems (AGVs) for further optimisation of internal logistics processes.

The iFD software controls the pallet conveyor technology for production supply and disposal from the existing automatic high-bay warehouse (HRL), including the control of the storage and retrieval machines (SRMs). The optimised transport control system ensures efficient coordination of pallet and container transport by taking into account the utilisation of transport resources and the availability of end and intermediate destinations in real time.

In addition, the control of internal transport orders has been improved to avoid bottlenecks and ensure a smooth flow of materials between the HRL and the production lines. The integration of AGV data into the system ensures seamless communication and optimises the availability of driverless transport vehicles.

What our customers say

We use iFD's Warehouse Pilot within our logistics system landscape to control and graphically visualise material flows. The system has impressed our users with its user-friendly handling and modern, web-based user interface. In IT, we particularly appreciate the open programming and database interface, which enables deep integration of the product into other Industry 4.0 projects. Despite a challenging environment, the Warehouse Pilot project with iFD was implemented very successfully and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Warehouse Pilot

The iFD WarehousePilot platform integrateswarehouse management, realising its full potential when combined with material flow control and forklift guidance systems.

The iFD Warehouse Pilot platform connects specialised systems to form an integrated end-to-end solution for intralogistics. Existing systems can be upgraded step by step without disrupting operations

This integrated architecture does not result in isolated individual solutions, but rather in consistent control logic across the entire operation.

  • WarehousePilot Store

    Warehouse management forms the data and process layer of intralogistics. It creates transparency regarding inventory, orders, and processes, and ensures that information is available where it is needed.
