Vehicles and systems for production logistics 2023
A wide variety of vehicles are used in production logistics: from transport robots and industrial trucks to conveyor belts, cranes and distribution systems.

Concepts for the energy supply of shuttle systems in logistics warehouses with selective charging in the elevator and in charging stations are on the rise - instead of expensive copper cables.

With the help of shuttle vehicles, products can be quickly stored, transferred or retrieved in warehouses so that order picking and dispatch run smoothly.

Drives for autonomous mobile robots
Knapp's Open Shuttles, autonomous mobile robots (AMR), enable the automation of in-house transportation without having to adapt the existing infrastructure. The installed drive solutions from Dunkermotoren and gearbox manufacturer Framo Morat enable even bulky and heavy loads to be transported safely.

Ger4tech has developed the Mobile Cobot G4T4, the first autonomous mobile robot with a 6-axis robot designed specifically for manufacturing.

Logimat 2022 - International Trade Fair for Intralogistics Solutions and Process Management - is expecting around 1,500 international exhibitors at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center from May 31 to June 2.

What is the best way to put digitalization concepts into practice, especially when it comes to mobile components? Nicola Magrone and Udo Marmann explain SEW-Eurodrive's modular approach, for which the company has defined its own business segment.

The manufacturer SEW-Eurodrive has expanded its Maxolution system.

The data from IoT-enabled components is stored and processed in the cloud or at the edge. Among other things, a joint project aims to improve processes and increase efficiency as well as integrate a new standard for data collection in intralogistics.

An interlinking system transports up to 16 formed sheets for vehicle bodies per minute from one press to the next with millimeter precision and high dynamics. This performance is made possible by gearboxes, servo actuators and rack and pinion systems from Wittenstein Alpha.
