A manager for intralogistics

Oper­a­tion in intral­o­gis­tics often resem­bles that in road traffic: pedes­trians cross streets, a loaded vehicle driven by a person stops, but more and more autonomous vehi­cles are also crossing paths. In all this hustle and bustle, the safety of all road users must be guar­an­teed equally.

Real-time localisation in production halls

Using a sensor infra­struc­ture and intel­li­gent and inte­grated com­mu­ni­ca­tion, the traffic and order man­ager NAiSE Traffic analyses the flow of traffic and goods in real time in intral­o­gis­tics appli­ca­tions. No matter which AGV system man­u­fac­turer is used in the pro­duc­tion halls, the soft­ware solu­tion offers cen­tralised fleet man­age­ment. It coor­di­nates and con­trols the move­ment of all par­tic­i­pants – of people and of indus­trial trucks such as AGV sys­tems or fork­lifts.

Traffic jams, bot­tle­necks and acci­dents are thus a thing of the past, while safety and traffic man­age­ment are increased and opti­mised – for greater trans­parency, effi­ciency and pro­duc­tivity. “It is a great honour to coop­erate with Pilz in the intral­o­gis­tics sector and to work together on the devel­op­ment and imple­men­ta­tion of common goals. Due to the enor­mous increase in mate­rial flow, effi­ciency and safety are becoming increas­ingly impor­tant: This major chal­lenge has been mas­tered with com­ple­men­tary solu­tions from Pilz and NAiSE,” says Kai Przy­bysz-Herz, Man­aging Director and co-founder of NAiSE.

Bernd Müller, Head of Market Devel­op­ment at Pilz, adds: “With NAiSE, we are pleased to have a partner by our side who sup­ple­ments our package of ser­vices for safe oper­a­tion as well as our com­plete product solu­tion for safe automa­tion of AGV sys­tems to include hard­ware and soft­ware for safe area guarding in areas where AGV sys­tems and humans work together. This allows us to offer our cus­tomers a com­pre­hen­sive, care­free solu­tion package com­prising safe area mon­i­toring for col­li­sion pro­tec­tion, manip­u­la­tion pro­tec­tion and traffic and order man­age­ment.”
