With the rapid development of logistics automation industry, improving efficiency has become a key element of enterprise competition. When it comes to increasing the speed and efficiency of internal logistics, Loi sensor technology plays a vital role in the speed and accuracy of data collection. For example, in fast-moving processes, sensors need to enable rapid detection or measurement to ensure the smooth flow of logistics.

Taking stackers and shuttle vehicles as an example, their operating speed has been greatly improved, and higher requirements have been put forward for the performance of sensors. Lloyd’s sensor technology reliably measures the distance to the position of the piler and reliably detects holes in the track in the field of shuttle positioning. The application of these technologies has greatly improved the accuracy and efficiency 1C31116G04
of logistics automation.

Pilers continue to evolve towards lightweight and dynamic systems, and their high driveability contributes to improved overall system performance. What does this mean for sensor systems?

Stackers will become increasingly flexible, dynamic and lightweight. To meet these design requirements, a compact sensor system with a modular design is required.

What are the potential optimization opportunities in the field of stackers, and how can they be achieved with the right sensor systems?

Due to the size of the device or the technical characteristics of existing laser 1C31116G04 
positioning systems, the location design of the sensor on the stacker may be limited.

What do you think are the solutions? Can you explain it briefly?

Our new AMS 100i product is small in size and reduces the blind area to 100 mm, making it the most compact laser positioning system from Lloyd’s Test. On the one hand, the AMS 100i’s housing is extremely compact, measuring just 105x 68 x 75 mm. Laser positioning systems, on the other hand, can be installed modularly without any interference and can even be installed directly on optical data

By the transceiver. At the same time, the device is very easy to calibrate and can also achieve 100 mm close positioning.

What are the advantages for customers?

For customers, the system offers maximum structural freedom and is easy to implement even in innovative applications with less available space.

For example, in the precise positioning of a stacker container, the standard solution involves the use of multiple sensors, all of which must be connected, installed and aligned. However, it has become more modern: today you only need a camera-based sensor. The camera can detect the 1C31116G04
circular hole and the mirror, determine the deviation in the X and Y directions relative to the nominal position, and pass the position deviation to the controller through the interface or I/O.

Which sensor do you recommend?

Camera-based sensors such as the Lloyd’s IPS 200i/400i are ideal for accurate positioning of stacker boxes. In this way, only one sensor needs to be connected, installed and calibrated, and setup and parameterization are very fast. This can save a lot of time and speed up commissioning, as well as when replacing damaged sensors later.

What are the safety requirements for a stacker?

To meet the changing safety requirements on the piler side, existing solutions must be reconsidered and sensors adjusted accordingly. Safety standards specify requirements for safe position detection under specific conditions.
