Material Handling
Intelligent, Real-time Control
of Internal Material Flows
Continuous real-time monitoring of all loading and unloading systems provides full transparency regarding capacities and utilization rates. This allows bottlenecks to be identified early on and resources to be deployed optimally. Clear source-to-destination links define unambiguous transport relationships and enable targeted control of material flows.
Transport orders are automatically generated based on the recorded material requirements at all relevant locations. This ensures a demand-driven, stable, and efficient supply within production.
Elimination of material-related micro-stops- Automated transport orders based on real-time demand
- Scalable up to fully autonomous intralogistics
Material Locator – Central Management of All Materials and Transport Assets
Material Locator
The Material Locator provides complete, transparent management of all materials and transport assets across the entire shop floor. Operators always have a clear overview of the location, quantity, and status of all components—from parts and PCBs to consumables, as well as stencils, grippers, magazines, and KLT boxes. Thanks to unique identification (2D code/RFID), material movements can be precisely tracked and recorded automatically or via scanner. Intelligent filtering functions ensure that relevant information is quickly accessible, while storage prioritization enables optimal retrieval strategies.
- End-to-end Transparency: Real-time overview of location, quantity, and status of all materials and transport assets
- Precise identification & Traceability: Unique UID-based tracking (2D code/RFID) for accurate localization and inventory management
- Automated Material Flows: Material movements recorded automatically via interfaces or manually via scanner
Carrier Manager – Efficient Carrier Supply Across the Entire Shop Floor
Carrier Manager
The Carrier Manager coordinates the supply of the entire production environment with all required carriers—fully automated and always just in time. It manages all carriers across the shop floor, creates dynamic routes, and controls targeted transports via the Mobile Robot Manager to the Material Warehouse, Smart Buffers, production lines, and Dry Tower. This ensures that material flow remains efficient, reliable, and demand-driven at all times.
- Dynamic route planning for all connected areas of production
- Fully automated JIT supply via the Mobile Robot Manager
- Centralized management of all carriers across the entire shop floor
Order Control – Live Control of Your Production Orders
Order Control
With Order Control, you always maintain full visibility of all ongoing production orders. “Live” planning allows orders to be flexibly scheduled, unscheduled, or rescheduled at any time. The progress of each order is captured in real time, enabling efficient planning and control of SMD areas as well as machines and manual workstations in final assembly.
- Live Planning: Schedule, unschedule, or reschedule orders in real time
- Transparent Progress: Status and processing stage visible at all times
- Cross-area Integration: SMD lines, machines, and manual workstations can be integrated
Intelligent Processes
For a Stable Material Flow
A stable and efficient material flow is essential for smooth production operations. Our software solutions support you in digitally controlling material processes across the shop floor end to end—from clearly structured inventory visibility and efficient setup preparation to automated replenishment, intelligent storage strategies, and secure material identification. This gives you full visibility and control over all material movements at all times and ensures that materials are available exactly where they are needed.
