Abstract

Small-scaled modules offer a considerable potential for the economic and flexible design of warehousing systems with high functionality. By using distributed control systems with embedded intelligence in the modules, the whole system is freely scalable and the installation effort is reduced at the same time. The information exchange between continuous ground conveyors is performed by a novel concept for data communication by the use of opto-electrical elements. The scalability of the conveyor modules compared to the transport unit in combination with the control concept allows selective activation of required modules and therewith optimized energy efficiency. Prototypes based on swiveling rollers show the potential of the principle. The newly developed concept - using a tilting disc - supports the ambitious integration of drive systems in the module through the principle of coaxial actuators. The modules with omnidirectional functionality can be combined to a module matrix from which a highly flexible module is derived. Cross-linking these highly functional nodes by simple material handling systems offer the possibility for simple planning of flexible warehousing systems.
