Transport and truck control system – the fast, efficient route to greater productivity.

As part of MMS.i, the transport and truck control system makes an important contribution to error free job execution and a marked improvement in the utilisation of machines. At the same time, efficiency will also increase. The system controls and decides which truck is to be used for which task, and is able to buffer and release detailed orders for transportation intelligently. Additionally, statistical evaluations of usage and efficiency of the truck fleet from a valid database will provide information for identifying and achieving the potential for rationalisation.

FUNCTIONS AND BENEFITS

Management of transport jobs (stationary/mobile) or via an interface (e.g. SAP).
Application of disposition strategies basing on various criteria (priority of goods, time schedules, route optimisation, double cycles etc.)
Ensuring fast, also multi-level, transport reducing empty journey and avoiding search journeys means of evaluation truck utilisation for process optimisation

DISPOSITION

Internal transport with/without trailers
Disposition of VNA trucks (manual/automatic) in high bay racks considering double cycles and reduction of change of aisles
Disposition of trucks depending on operation profiles (e.g. shifts, utilisation peaks etc.)
Application of disposition strategies based on different criteria (priority of goods, time schedules, double cycles, sequence of orders (FIFO etc.)
Consideration of truck types and their characteristics (e.g. capacity (weight, space) per truck/trailer and loading aid)
Allocation of trucks to specific application areas (e.g. diesel powered counter balance trucks only outdoors etc.)

MOBILE AND STATIONARY TRANSPORT GENERATOR:

Generation of transport requirements via the control stand (e.g. rush transports to replenish production or pick-up of finished goods)
Generation of transport requirements via the mobile on-board terminal and other mobile terminal devices (e.g. pick up of empties etc.)
Execution and evaluation of driver-initiated actions (e.g. relocation of stored goods)
Transmission of orders to operators onto the terminal (e.g. pick up rush transport at station 001)
Generation of cyclical transports (e.g. pick up of empties at regular schedules)
