Automated material reordering at e-Kanban racks
Rack systems must be equipped with intelligent sensor technology for material delivery with an electronic Kanban system. FlexChain automation light grids detect assignment of the rack positions. Cascading the individual sensors saves on cabling and makes it easier to integrate them into the existing system. During material removal, the new material stock is recorded in the rack position and forwarded to the higher-level material management system using the TDC-E gateway system. This automatically generates a new picking order.
