Automation of unproductive transport tasks
Flexible transport system, that does not require induction loops in the floor
Universal solution, that can be expanded to handle other tasks
Transmission of transport orders via WLAN

At the Bierbaum Group, WLAN-controlled automated guided vehicles named proANT by the company InSystems Automation assume the transport tasks within the factory. An interesting step towards Industry 4.0 and an ideal application for a wireless communication environment.

Integration of transport robots into the process automation of the factory
Fully automated logistics chain between the dye kitchen and the printing presses: Required color is requested by the employee at the printing press; the request triggers a transport order, which is autonomously carried out by the robot
WLAN throughout the factory: Communication via SCALANCE W734-1 Client Modules in the robots

"Thanks to increasing automation, the production of textiles in Germany will be economically interesting again. By all means, Industrie 4.0 is no longer fiction. The fully automated production is within reach."

Maanager Dipl. Ing. Jan-Frederic Bierbaum
