Case study

Automated warehouse conveyor system

Client: Foxway
Project Completion Date: June, 2024

We developed and manufactured a 2-floor conveyor system (together with a platform) to serve the fully automated warehouse system. The system is designed to communicate with the customer’s SCADA system to move the boxes to the correct locations based on their unique ID.

Technical Specifications:

• Conveyor speeds: 0.6 m/s
• Conveyors: 50 meters of conveyors with transfers between 2-floors

Functionalities:

• Integration with Kardex automated warehouse system for box infeed and outfeed transfer.
• Box ID scanners scan each box and transfer it to a location defined by Scada.
• Intuitive HMI for easy error handling on the conveyor system.
• The second floor platform was designed and built to be able to serve Kardex outfeed positions.

What we did:

• Design and development of mechanical, electrical, and automation systems (both conveyors and platform);
• Safety systems design and installation;
• PLC programming (including integration with the Scada system);
• Machine production, testing, set-up at customer location;
• CE certification, including risk analysis and conformity assessment.
