ADVANCED FORKLIFT CONTROL SYSTEM

02.09.2014

The WMS software expert Gigaton expands its forklift control system (SLS) with the aim of controlling the industrial trucks (FFZ) in order to maximize the entire flow of materials in the warehouse.

For this purpose, a new distance-related coordinate matrix has been integrated in LogoS, including all existing lanes between every bin location. This new matrix will allow LogoS, after a starting point has been registered by an employee, to identify transport orders from this given starting point or another starting point in its near and to assign them to the forklift. Once this transport order has been confirmed, the algorithm begins again after the destination zone has been scanned.

In addition to the optimized lanes calculation also other criteria such as job priorities, locks of storage zones, restrictions of the forklifts etc. have been included as the distance-orientated selection of the transport order with the shortest route may not always be the optimal one.

The new forklift control system (SLS) provides optimization approaches, especially by avoiding empty runs, the prioritized generation of double plays and the avoidance of »congestion« in individual storage areas.
