1 Track+Race LS RTLS for truck managed warehouses

2 Principles of Track+Race LS Indirect Identification of Goods - Tracking and Tracing of Fork Lift Trucks (FLT) using floor embedded RFID-Transponders. - Detection of picking and placing events with truck mounted load and fork height sensors. - Use of truck position data and load status to calculate the exact position of goods in real time. - Communication of data to the Warehouse Management System for processing.

4 RFID Equipment Floor Embedded and Truck Mounted RFID Antenna - Mounted on the underside of the fork lift truck - Robust, shatter proof container - Reading distance up to 60 cm - Big operating temperature range Passive RFID Transponder - Floor embedded - Temperature range: 25 C/+60 C - Transponder grid depends on project requirements - 10 year warranty Date: Sapper Slide 4

5 Fork Sensors Loading and Height Control Loading control - Measures distance to goods; detects loading operation, effective range: cm - Supports all kinds of forks; e.g. double-deep / multi pallet - Temperature range: 25 C/+60 C Height sensors - Measures distance to ground; effective range: cm - for use in ground/block-storage and high-bay racking Date: Sapper Slide 5

6 Track+Race Red Box Onboard Control Unit - Control unit for RFID reader and sensors - Warehouse Position Manager with interface to WMS (enables display of bin location occupation) - Standard RS232 interface to truck mounted RF-Terminal Date: Sapper Slide 6

7 Track+Race: Fields of application Unlimited Possibilities - Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications - Independent from nature of warehouse processes - Block or ground storage with multi pallet transports - High bay racking - Handling WIP-storage - Independent from nature of transport goods - Variable dimensions - not suitable for barcode labels - not susceptible due to shielding/reflecting of electro-magnetic waves Date: Sapper Slide 7

8 Sample Process Goods Receiving 1. Location and pallet-id is known to the warehouse management system (WMS) (e.g. ID-4711 at transfer bin 01) 2. Picking notification from Track+Race to WMS (e.g. picked at transfer bin 01) 3. Tracking of the fork lift truck while driving through the entire warehouse up to the destination by Track+Race 4. Placing notification from Track+Race to WMS (e.g. placed at bin location ) 5. Booking of goods receipt by WMS (e.g. ID-4711 at bin location ) Date: Sapper Slide 8

9 Sample Process Goods issue / Loading 1. Location and pallet-id is known to the warehouse management system (WMS) (e.g. ID-4711 at bin location ) 2. Picking notification from Track+Race to WMS (e.g. picked at bin location ) 3. Tracking of the fork lift truck while driving through the entire warehouse up to the destination by Track+Race 4. Placing notification from Track+Race to WMS (e.g. placed at loading bay 1 ) 5. Booking of goods issue by WMS (e.g. ID-4711 at loading bay 1 ) Date: Sapper Slide 9

10 Real time data where it s needed Knowing the Playing Field Available functions: - Imposition of speed limits in danger zones or hazard areas - Issuing warnings on height restrictions - Navigation - displaying the route for the active transport order - Defining out-of-bounds areas or streets Date: Sapper Slide 10

11 Automated Identification Cost Cutting in the Logistics - Decrease maintenance and repair costs - Increase warehouse efficiency, productivity & size ratio - Avoid non-compliance costs - Save manpower and equipment - Minimize labeling costs Date: Sapper Slide 11

12 Summary Maximum Efficiency for Intralogistics - Increase safety - Significant decrease of total logistic costs - Increase quality of stock and customer service Date: Sapper Slide 12
