Flexibility and cost-efficiency – The competitive
advantage in storage and conveyor systems
The storage and conveyor system plays a central role in intralogistics. Maximum throughput and optimal use of storage
space is required. Highly dynamic markets, innovative logistics
processes and variable materials to be handled place high
demands on flexibility. Sensor technology is a key factor.
SICK offers not only a complete sensor and service portfolio,
but also has extensive industry knowledge, a total package
with critical added value for the success of your storage and
conveyor system.

Identifying

Detecting

Identification of codes and objects of
all types is the basic requirement for
automatic storage, picking and sorting.
SICK offers scalable systems for all code
types and for all ID technologies (laser,
camera, RFID, hybrid) that are easy to
adapt to the respective requirements.

Light grids, camera systems, laser measurement systems and scales measure
distance, overhangs, profiles, volumes
and weights. They allow efficient sorting,
packing and picking, as well as process
reliability through qualification.

Solutions for detection of leading edges,
occupancy, overhangs, end positions, fill
levels, etc. make processes very stable
at maximum performance. Throughput
maximization depends on optimal precision tuning of all sensor functions. And
SICK has the right sensor for every task.

Following absolute positioning of the
lifting unit, relative fine positioning takes
place along the y-axis by means of two
laser photoelectric proximity sensors.
Thanks to background suppression and
an extremely small light spot, the highly
reliable sensors can ensure maximum
accuracy even when shelves are filled
two units deep.

Before the forks of the load-carrying
equipment are loaded with pallets, a
photoelectric retro-reflective sensor
ensures the pallets are empty. The
sensor, available with light or dark
switching, features background suppression and can detect objects with
different surface properties.

After the pallet has been placed in
the bay, a photoelectric retro-reflective
sensor checks if it is protruding into the
aisle and could cause a collision. Thanks
to their immunity to ambient light and
reflection, the sensors ensure a stable
process is carried out.

7 Positioning the z axis
of the lifting forks

If just one type of pallet is being stored
one or two units deep, a photoelectric
proximity sensor uses one or two switching points to check whether the allocated storage area is free. The sensor is
characterized by a large sensing range,
low black/white shift and immunity to
reflection.

In cases where different types of pallets
are being stored, the number of possible
checking points increases. A compact
laser scanner uses area scanning to
check whether the storage area is free.
The scanners include intelligent field
evaluation, allow for low mounting positions and provide low operating costs.

Positioning is carried out by detecting
the end positions of the load-carrying
equipment’s lifting forks. In this case,
inductive proximity sensors that offer
reliability, high shock and vibration resistance, and a long service life are used.

3 Access protection with muting

If a dangerous situation arises, the operating personnel can put a system into a
safe state using rope pull switches. Rope
pull switches are an ideal safety solution
for longer conveyor systems since their
switching function can be activated from
almost any point along the conveyor
system.

Vertical safety light curtains put the
required safety functions into action.
Flexible entry and exit monitoring is
made possible through a switching
amplifier and two or four muting sensors.
These are connected directly at the
site and reduce the amount of cabling
required.

Cold store solutions
Extreme climatic conditions at temperatures down to –30 °C, thawing or even condensation when entering and exiting as common
in cold stores place very specific demands on the sensor technology.
SICK offers a complete portfolio, which not only enables but ensures automation in these conditions on the process side.

Identifying
At –30 °C in particular, it is important to identify products at the highest possible
read rate.
This not only applies to reading bar codes, but increasingly RFID as well. Due to
the higher density of information, traceability across the entire cold chain can be
ensured.
A broad portfolio is available with and without heating for both bar code reading
and RFID.

Measuring
Only when reliably and efficiently measured, qualified and checked for overhangs
is trouble-free transport on the conveyor system and optimal use of scarce storage
space possible.
In general, interruptions and manual interventions in the process flow are to be
avoided whenever possible, but especially in cold store applications.
The measuring light grids from SICK can also be used in cold store applications.

Detecting
Fail-safe operation itself at temperatures of -30 °C requires absolutely faultless
detection of the objects to be conveyed.
Any unsuccessful detection would inevitably lead to either manual intervention,
stoppage of the conveyor system or even incorrect storage. A very broad portfolio
of products suitable for cold store applications is available.

Detecting position
To avoid an unnecessary increase in enormous cold store energy requirements, it
is important to ensure optimal storage and retrieval. Among other things, this depends on accurate and above all, reproducible positioning of the drive unit, lifting
unit and load-handling device.
With its time-of-flight distance sensors, OLM linear measurement sensors and
encoder program, SICK offers a complete portfolio for cold store applications.

Protecting
Uninterrupted material flow is essential in a cold store ‒ along with a high level of
automation. This reinforces the need to protect highly automated areas. All safety
light curtains from SICK can be used at temperatures down to –30 °C. The S3000
safety laser scanners are available with heating.

Solutions for empty bay detection
Reliable detection of compartment occupancy is a central task for ensuring system throughput.
Choosing the sensor optimal for the application depends on a variety of parameters, e.g. type, dimensions, surface quality and sorting accuracy of the load-handling devices, storage depth, number of load-handling devices one after another or next to each other,
installation location and environmental conditions.

Single-depth and multi-depth storage of uniform pallets
The known position of the pallet feet is normally checked. As a result, a „single point of reference“ check is sufficient. Depending on the storage depth, one or two switching points are
required. When storing more than two pallets one after another, use of a sensor with analog
value output or IO-Link is recommended.
The WTT280 -2LR with two switching points and the DT35 with analog output, IO-Link and
switching point use time-of-flight technology, which ensures absolutely reliable operation.

Single-depth and double-depth storage of different pallet sizes
When storing different pallet sizes, the variance of possible test point positions increases.
Therefore, surface area inspection is recommended. Infringement of one of the previously
defined monitoring fields indicates an „occupied“ storage location.
Depending on the required accuracy, size, number of monitoring fields or measurement of
possible relative movement, several laser scanners are available to handle these application requirements with the TiM300/ 500 and S100/LMS100.

Single-depth and multi-depth storage of uniform totes or card-boxes
The position of totes or card-boxes to be stored is known. As in the storage of uniform pallet
sizes, use of a „single beam“ is recommended. A sensor that outputs a measured value also
has to be used in the case of multi-depth storage.
The WTT280 -2LR with two switching points and the DT35 with analog output, IO-Link and
switching point use time-of-flight technology, which ensures absolutely reliable operation.

Single-depth and multi-depth storage of different sized totes or card-boxes
When storing different sized card-boxes, the empty bay detection with a laser scanner has
clear advantages over a „single point of reference“ check. Simple, time-saving installation
and configuration of the scanner offers an additional benefit over installation of numerous
„single beams“. In addition, the configuration is easy to transfer to other RGBs.

Solutions for detection of leading edges
Detection of the leading edge is mainly needed to control tasks such as aligning and induct on sorters. Leading edge detection also
plays a role in detecting the handover status to the sorter cells or for other control tasks.
