before items are stored, a distance sensor uses an abso-lute value or multiple switching points to check whether the allocated storage area is free. even when faced with differing object colors, the reliable compact devices pro-vide high repeatability and immunity to ambient light.

Before the pallet is finally put into storage, a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor checks whether the load height exceeds the maximum permissible height for the allocated storage area. the sensor is characterized by a high level of resistance to vibrations and immunity to contamination.
• compact photoelectric sensors W27-3
verifying the loading height on the load-carring unit
State-of-the art automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) are highly dynamic and therefore place high de-mands on positioning accuracy, speed measurement and data transmission. In addition, the entire process must be error-free and safe during operation. the extremely reliable and powerful sensors guarantee process integrity when com-bined with an intelligent safety concept.
to ensure stable and error-free material flow, reliable, rugged sensors are re-quired for presence detection, overhang evaluation and height measurement of the pallets and their loads. automatic pallet identification solutions that use bar codes or RFID technology support the routing information and storage location assignment.

pallet loading
automation light grids measure the height of the load. In the event a storage area has a height restriction, his can be used to ensure a load will not violate this restriction. the light grids are available for all commonly used commu-nication protocols. A classification based purely on height can also be achieved using photoelectric retro-reflective sensors.
• Advanced automation light grids MLG

Bar code scanners with a fixed focus, variable focus or auto focus can be used for nearly any reading distance. they enable track and trace functions, product routing, and assignment to storage areas. thanks to the use of reconstruction technology, high read rates can be achieved even under adverse conditions or when bar codes are partially damaged.

pacKage conveyor
High throughput and a reliable, smooth flow of material are the core tasks of every pack-age conveying system. this requires precise presence detection and accurate speed measurement during the process. however, solutions for zero-pressure accumulation and automatic identification of totes and boxes that use bar code or RFID technology are also required. Fast and flexible mount-ing and wirmount-ing solutions reduce installation costs.
