ABM Greiffenberger to display wide-ranging portfolio

Posted on by David Priestman

Visitors to LogiMAT 2022 in Stuttgart can find out about the powerful ABM Greiffenberger drives in Hall 3 at Booth B15. ABM Greiffenberger has suitable drives for all mobile and stationary applications in logistics centres. In close partnership with customers, the one-stop provider for intralogistics delivers both optimised modular system solutions and individual solutions with maximum added value for users.

Many things are moved in and around a logistics centre – and wherever this happens, drives are required. It starts, for example, with mobile applications such as electric buses that drive employees to their place of work or lorries that transport goods to the receiving point – drives for auxiliary units such as hydraulic pumps, compressors and fans are needed here. When the lorries drive up to the dock, rolling doors open and close so that the employees can load or unload.

By means of pallet trucks, forklifts or automated guided vehicles (AGVs), the goods are moved to container and pallet conveyors, which bring them to the high-bay storage area. Other devices and machines, such as ergonomic lift assists for handling the goods and machines for cleaning the floors in the building, are also deployed. ABM Greiffenberger offers suitable motors, gearboxes, brakes and inverters for all these applications – for either mains or battery power supply.

These drive solutions include the Sinochron motor series, which visitors can find out about at the trade fair booth. The permanently excited synchronous motors are perfect for operation with sensorless control thanks to their special design. The advantages offered by synchronous motors are a high power density and a compact size. With efficiencies of more than 90%, these motors score points in intralogistics applications in which drives are only operated at part load as well as in auxiliary units in lorries and buses.

ABM Greiffenberger has added compact and powerful liquid-cooled motors to its efficient drive technology offering. The motors possess a high thermal stability and offer exceptional protection with ratings of up to IP6K9K. They can be controlled via inverters and can be attached to all ABM helical, parallel shaft and angular gearboxes with little effort. They are ideal in areas such as mobile drive technology, where they are used, for example, as aggregate and traction drives in electric vehicles and construction machines.

Reduced complexity

ABM offers suitable inverters that are optimally matched to the respective drive systems for all applications. They meet controllability, networking, digitalisation and connection technology as well as other requirements.

ABM will present another innovation with the wheel hub drive with electric steering for AGVs and forklifts. It has a drive torque of 360Nm; the integrated electric steering brings a torque of up to 300Nm to the wheel. Users benefit from a precisely controllable and efficient AC motor technology. They receive complete solutions from a single source and only have to take care of the interface for the drive technology.

The powerful chain hoists will also be presented at LogiMAT. They are modularly designed and provide reliable overload protection thanks to the friction couplings. The integrated electronic control is new. Via plug and play technology, the operator can easily extend the basic version to include the travel function. The new solution from ABM Greiffenberger is particularly long-lasting – wear of switching contacts does not occur. The corrosion-resistant and robust chain hoists also operate reliably in harsh environments. High-quality helical gearing enables quiet running and lowers noise emissions.

ABM Greiffenberger is a systems supplier for all applications in intralogistics and develops customised, installation-optimised solutions that are optimally tailored to the respective applications. With this, ABM maintains its goal of delivering high-quality, reliable drive solutions and supporting its customers in the capacity of a partner with engineering and manufacturing expertise.

Snack producer reduces forklift fleet size

Posted on by David Priestman

Toyota Material Handling UK has helped the award-winning premium snack producer, Burts Snacks, to reduce intralogistics costs and achieve significant handling efficiency gains across its business.

During a review of the company’s materials handling operation, Toyota identified that by replacing counterbalance machines with multi-functional reach trucks capable of operating outside a building, Burts Snacks could not only reduce the number of forklifts within its fleet – with a resultant drop in maintenance expenditure – but also boost productivity and improve on-site safety.

Burts Snacks manufactures its growing range of own-brand, licensed and private label snacks from sites in Plymouth and Leicester. At both facilities, Toyota recommended switching counterbalance trucks for Toyota Reflex outdoor reach trucks.

The Toyota Reflex outdoor reach truck has greater ground clearance than traditional models, which along with rubber wheels with tread and a revised gearbox configuration, allows it to work in yards, block-stacking, servicing outdoor racking and loading and unloading vehicles from the side.

It can also perform inside a building and at Burts Snacks’ Plymouth site, the trucks are fitted with Kooi extra-long forks with fork cameras to allow pallet loads to be put away within the storage unit’s double-deep racking scheme.

In addition, Toyota provided a mix of electric counterbalance models, powered pallet trucks and order pickers.

The equipment at both sites has been supplied on a long-term rental contract that includes service and maintenance.

Burts Snacks’ warehouse manager, Daniel Cresswell, originally approached Toyota to supply new, ultra-energy efficient trucks to replace a number of existing electric-powered counterbalance models that had been underutilised for some time and were nearing the end of their fixed contract period.

“After seeing the Toyota proposition for our fleet, it was a simple decision for us,” Cresswell says.

All of Burts Snacks’ new machines feature Toyota’s I_Site integrated telematics package as standard. The I_Site system allows truck operating hours to be closely monitored along with battery utilisation across the fleet. This feature has been particularly beneficial at the Plymouth site where the trucks are powered by a combination of Nexus fast charge, lithium-ion and lead acid batteries.

“The I_Site system monitors the forklift’s battery and highlights if the power source is being managed incorrectly. For example, if a lead acid battery is opportunity charged, this can cause significant implications to the battery. The I_Site technology can identify this before any harm is done,” says Cresswell.

I_Site also provides valuable data on the efficiency and safety of Burts Snacks’ lift truck operators, as Cresswell explains: “Because each operator requires his or her own PIN code or smart access card to operate a truck, they quickly realise that they are accountable for their actions during the course of a shift. We find that this accountability prompts forklift drivers to take more care when going about their daily routine, which of course, in turn, results in a safer environment and reduced product, truck or building infrastructure damage.”

STILL participates in autonomous driving research project

Posted on by David Priestman

The vision of autonomously driving transport vehicles in production halls or warehouses is to come within reach thanks to the European research project IMOCO (Intelligent Motion Control). On the German side, the project is led by the Hamburg-based intralogistics specialist STILL, a subsidiary of the KION Group. The project is scheduled to end in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Transport vehicles that navigate truly autonomously through warehouses and production facilities, learning to analyse and “understand” their surroundings, reliably recognising obstacles and people, avoiding them and all the while transporting goods quickly and reliably from one place to another – that still sounds like science fiction. However, according to the initiators of the European research project IMOCO, this vision is soon to become reality.

For this purpose, four scenarios were defined within the research project that are characterised by digital twins and AI principles (machine learning/deep learning): Intelligent navigation, picking up the goods, their transport and eventual drop off at the destination.

“Such processes place very high demands on the processes and also on the vehicle,” describes Ansgar Bergmann, responsible for the IMOCO project at STILL. “With our OPX iGo neo, we have therefore sent an order picker into the project that already comes very close to the idea of this autonomously driving vehicle due to its ‘intelligent’ equipment and the resulting capabilities.”

Highly sensitive sensor technology

Current automated guided vehicles still have their limits when it comes to operating completely autonomously in warehouses or production facilities. Although they recognise obstacles and brake independently, they cannot yet avoid obstacles, intelligently search for the most efficient routes and analyse the environment. For this, they need highly sensitive sensor technology in the form of laser scanners, cameras or radar to detect spatial objects such as shelves or even signs, markings and displays.

In addition, they must “understand” their environment, register changes and be able to respond to them. Only this will allow these vehicles to navigate independently to their destination, recognise and handle loads, avoid obstacles or find logical storage locations for the transported goods.

The OPX iGo neo already operates autonomously in the aisle, detects and understands its environment and derives appropriate actions from it. However, leaving the shelf aisle fully autonomously and navigating through the customer’s halls, and also planning optimal paths for this, for example, is not yet part of the product. But precisely because it is already equipped with the corresponding environmental sensors, the OPX iGo neo is the ideal starting point for the desired further developments of this project.

“For the OPX iGo neo, the goal of the project is to further increase the level of understanding of the environment and the decision-making capabilities in order to continuously increase the autonomous capabilities, the intelligence of the robot, and to allow it to act autonomously in the warehouse beyond the shelf aisle,” explains Bergmann. “Machine and deep learning approaches play a very important role here.”

Detect obstacles in real-time

IMOCO has set itself the goal of creating the prerequisites for this challenging application of mobile robotic systems in dynamic intralogistics environments. Autonomously executed and situation-based modifications to the planning of a route, including the consideration of moving objects such as people or vehicles, should then be possible throughout the entire warehouse.

Bergmann says: “The research project wants to further develop the conventional triad of recognition, analysis and action by means of artificial intelligence – to perceive, understand and solve.” Within the research project, the vehicles are to be enabled to perceive the spatial environment through different sensor systems and not only recognise trained objects, but also to estimate their movements. “This detection of obstacles has to be done in real time for smooth operation.”

Hamburg as “research centre”

At the STILL headquarters in Hamburg, a demonstrator is being set up where all the project partners’ work will be brought together. In addition to STILL as a representative of the KION Group, the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML), Hahn Schickard, IMST GmbH, Nuromedia and Digital Twin Technology are also participating in the project on the German side.

IMOCO is funded by the European Union through the research organisation “Electronic Components and Systems for European Leadership” (ECSEL) and by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

 

Driverless forklifts can solve recruitment issues

Posted on by David Priestman

A growing number of European warehouse and distribution centre operators see driverless forklift truck technology as the optimum solution to the staff recruitment and employment cost challenges they are facing, writes Jason Zhang, VisionNav Robotics’ Head of Sales – Europe.

Across the Eurozone, a shrinking labour pool is hitting the logistics sector hard. And with HGV drivers, warehouse order pickers and forklift operators all in short supply, supply chain disruption has become a serious issue for many organisations.

While Covid and the economic and social upheaval that has followed in its wake is partly responsible for the current workforce crisis. Other factors – including a falling population of ‘prime age’ workers – suggest that the problem isn’t simply a ‘bump in the road’ but something with which the logistics industry will have to learn to contend in the long term.

In Germany – Europe’s largest economy – the ageing population combined with low birth rates recently prompted the Federal Labor Agency to warn that the country must attract at least 400,000 skilled immigrants every year.

“The fact is Germany is running out of workers,” said Federal Labor Agency Chairman Detlef Scheele. “From nurses to logistics personnel there will be a shortage of workers everywhere.”

Even in countries with high levels of unemployment such as Spain – where the unemployment rate is currently hovering at around 14 per cent – warehouse staff and forklift operators are in high demand due to the low supply of qualified personnel to do the jobs.

And in the UK 13% of respondents to a recent survey undertaken by the leading trade association, Logistics UK, reported severe warehouse staff shortages, with a substantial decline in the availability of forklift drivers cited as a major problem.

Of course, fewer staff in any traditional warehouse where manual picking and packing are core activities, puts significant strain on the existing employees and makes an already taxing job even less appealing to potential new recruits – so its easy to see how the logistics industry’s worker shortage problem is likely to become worse before (if ever) it improves.

Throughout Europe the lack of workers means warehouse operators have to offer increased wages to attract the quantity and quality of the personnel they need. In the UK, for example, in November 2020 the average forklift driver’s salary advertised on online job-search engine Adzuna was £21,972 while warehouse staff positions typically paid £19,995 per annum. By November 2021 the remuneration for both forklift drivers and order pickers was up 8% year-on-year. Over the same period, vacancies for forklift drivers had surged 169% while other warehouse job postings were up 143%.

Given that human labour is already one of the most significant costs associated with running a warehouse the handsome financial packages that are now required to tempt forklift operators or other warehouse staff are prompting more and more logistics companies to seek new ways of providing the same service levels with less staff.

For many, this means switching to automation and, unsurprisingly, a growing number of Europe’s warehouse and distribution centre operators consider driverless forklift truck technology represents the optimum solution to the recruitment and employment cost challenges they are facing.

Driverless forklifts undertake every type of task that would be expected of a traditional manually-operated forklift – including vehicle loading and unloading, pallet put-away and retrieval in both standard and very narrow aisle racking configurations, as well as pallet and stillage movements throughout the warehouse.

In addition to the obvious savings in labour costs that driverless forklifts bring, other benefits include: reduced damage to goods, racking and trucks; greater picking accuracy; and more efficient use of the available storage space.

Worldwide, Nestle, DHL and Walmart are among the high profile businesses to have already adopted the VisionNav driverless truck system, while countless small and medium sized forklift users are also benefiting from the solution.

In simple terms, the ‘vision-based’ navigation technology at the heart of VisionNav’s operator-free forklifts uses a vehicle-mounted camera to sense the environment in which the vehicle is operating. Information concerning the structural design and storage system lay-out of the facility where trucks are deployed is stored as off-line maps which the visual navigation system matches with real time images received from the camera to navigate the forklifts efficiently and safely around the store. With multiple vehicles controlled by the system, the trucks are directed to their next location via the shortest, fastest and safest route for optimum throughput performance.

Visual navigation technology is not only highly efficient, it is quick and easy to install and brings a rapid return on investment. The highly flexible technology allows driverless industrial trucks to be adopted with minimal disruption to a site’s existing intralogistics process and, typically, ROI is achieved after a period of 18-24 months.

The overwhelming majority of warehouse and distribution centre operations rely on forklift trucks for the efficient running of their intralogistics processes and when it comes to running a lift truck fleet, the forklift driver is often the biggest cost.

Salaries, bonuses, training and myriad other expenses combined with hidden extras such as the damage to goods or a building’s infrastructure caused by a carelessly driven truck or, worse still, injuries to personnel, all add up to a considerable sum.

When the cost savings they bring are added to the fact that driverless lift trucks eliminate the staffing issues created by the shortage of qualified forklift drivers, it is not surprising that more and more companies are adopting automated lift truck technology to optimise the efficiency of their warehouse intralogistics processes.

Established in 2016, VisionNav Robotics is among the fastest-growing operator-free industrial vehicle manufacturers in the world. The company’s range of fully automated, vision-guided forklift trucks is now available across Europe and includes driverless counterbalanced trucks, reach trucks, stackers and tow tractors.

 

Wine packaging company increases on-site storage capacity

Posted on by David Priestman

When it comes to impressive statistics and numbers, The Park is not short of these. The multi-award-winning manufacturing and blending plant in Avonmouth employs almost 400 people and produces 25 million 9-litre case equivalents of wine each year. The site is home to its 80,000 sq m wine warehouse and distribution centre, the largest of its kind in Europe; with six packaging lines it has the capacity to produce 1,200 bottles of wine every minute.

Even a company at the top of its game is not immune to certain external factors, of which there have been plenty in the last year or so. Recent problems with the supply chain and shipping also coincided with The Park enjoying a period of steady growth. This prompted the management to look at ways of increasing on-site storage for containers and ISO Tanks which are shipped mainly from Australia and New Zealand, but also from Chile, the USA and South Africa.

Integral to the optimum use of available space are two Combi-SC straddle carrier models from the Irish manufacturer Combilift, well known for devising innovative solutions for handling loads of all shapes, weights and dimensions. Freight Manager Bob Prescott and his team started evaluating various options in mid-2020 and concluded that the telescopic capabilities of the Combi-SCs would enable containers to be stored much closer together as well as double stacked for maximum density.

“The container handling equipment we have used for years can only lift one load at a time and their manoeuvrability is very limited,” said Prescott, “whereas the three-wheel Combi-SC can turn on its axis and access much tighter spaces.”

The own weight and axle loading of the Combi-SC models is much lighter than other types of heavy handling equipment such as reach trucks, enabling them to work on less than perfect ground conditions. Some concreting and general surface improvements were carried out in the yard, however, mainly to determine and mark out areas that could bear the weight of double-stacked containers. The potential for storing containers or ISO Tanks, each containing around 24,000 litres of wine, has now expanded from 166 bays to 250, representing a massive increase in capacity with no requirement to purchase or lease extra space.

Each Combi-SC that is built in the factory in Monaghan is tailor-made to customer specifications, and The Park’s 35t capacity telescopic double stacking models feature a fixed fully automatic attachment to handle 20ft ISO Tanks and containers, which can also lift 40ft containers via chains if required. Weighing systems with an accuracy of +/-2% were also fitted, as were 129° cameras front and rear to ensure when the load is raised the driver has 360° visibility from the cab

When wine is required for production the Combi-SCs take the containers to special offloading bays where they have a gradient of approx. 5 degrees so using gravity and pump assistance, contents can be transferred to holding tanks before the bottling process begins.

Richard Lloyd, General Manager, European Operations and Supply Chain comments: “The addition of the Combi-SC straddle carrier has enabled us to react to a dramatic decline in global shipping reliability and double our storage capability of wine, importantly within the same footprint. This change in capability is transformational for the site in meeting its customer demand on time.”
