Universal guidance systema platform for all conveyor vehicles

Why a universal signage system?

Modern intralogistics systems consist of a wide variety of transport vehicles – from traditional front-loading forklifts and tugger trains to autonomous vehicles. To ensure these systems can work together efficiently, internal transport requires centralised control.

The iFD Universal Control System integrates conveyor vehicles from a wide range of manufacturers into a single platform. Each vehicle is integrated into the system with its individual characteristics and receives transport orders in line with its capabilities.

This prevents unsuitable vehicles from being deployed for specific tasks, whilst ensuring that available resources are utilised optimally.

Advantages of the universal guidance system

The universal guidance system links different conveyor vehicles to form a single transport platform and ensures the efficient coordination of all internal transport operations.

Integration unterschiedlicher Fahrzeugtypen
Frontstapler, Routenzüge, Roboter oder autonome Fahrzeuge können gemeinsam gesteuert werden
Optimale Auftragszuweisung
Transportaufträge werden automatisch dem jeweils geeigneten Fahrzeug zugeordnet
Durchgängige Transportsteuerung
alle innerbetrieblichen Transporte werden als Gesamtprozess organisiert
Offene und interoperable Plattform
das System lässt sich in bestehende Intralogistikstrukturen integrieren

The universal control system organises all internal transport as a coherent process. Different conveyor vehicles do not operate in isolation, but are coordinated together.

Centralised control allows transport orders to be distributed efficiently and resources to be utilised optimally. At the same time, the system offers a high degree of flexibility when integrating new vehicles or technologies.

The Universal Control System thus forms the basis for modern, networked intralogistics in line with Industry 4.0.

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.
