Siemens AG

So far, the iFD forklift control system with flexible, automated control concepts for industrial trucks (forklifts; tugger trains; trailer traffic; electric tow tractors; suitcase shuttle) has been implemented at four locations. The following functions, among others, were implemented:

  • Communication via WLAN, radio and UMTS
  • prioritized truck loading and unloading
  • automated waste and empties requests Integration of suppliers and pre-recording of deliveries to schedule forklifts
  • time-controlled machine supply
  • Mass unloading via swap bodiesMessage system to improve internal communication

Furthermore, the forklift control system was connected to SAP at several locations. In addition, a unique truck shuttle control was implemented at the Berlin location to supply two new production halls using a nearby logistics center.

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.
