MANAGE VARIETY – GET A GRIP ON TIME Controlling inventories and material movements at all times while reliably avoiding errors: This is the challenge facing companies in all industries. Automated processes enable you to store and retrieve even large inventory quantities in less time and with greater precision. So it's no wonder that dynamic shuttle systems and stacker cranes are increasingly replacing manual warehouse operations; They ensure efficient supply levels of the required goods, provide continuous operation and maintain high throughput. With accuracy and transparency – thanks to...

Solutions for storage and retrieval High speeds and low error rates are the prerequisites for using warehouse space efficiently and providing materials flexibly, reliably and on time. You can achieve this through the addition of automation in your storage and retrieval operations – you just need the right sensor technology.

Our long distance positioning system (LDPS) ensures this – even in harsh environments and over several hundred meters. It consists of a magnetostrictive linear position sensor with a Profinet interface and several position encoders that...

LEADING THE WAY IN MATERIAL FLOW Transporting, sorting, loading and unloading, buffering, accumulating – in all intralogistics tasks, throughput and availability at the right place at the right time are what counts in the end. Whether in cartons, totes, on pallets or hanging on trolleys, the goods must get from A to B as efficiently as possible. And it must do so with maximum flexibility, since batch sizes are becoming smaller and smaller as a result of progressive individualization. The linchpin of optimal transport solutions are automated conveyor systems. For these, Balluff supplies...

Solutions for conveying and transporting Getting the right materials to the right place at the right time is the fundamental task for internal transport systems. With a high degree of automation, you can make material transport transparent, minimize errors and respond flexibly to higher speeds and lower quantities.

Its flexible BIS V processor unit, in combination with high-speed read/write heads, processes the read/write heads to process large volumes of data in the shortest possible time. The latter are up to 8 times faster than the global ISO 15693 standard,...

CORRECTLY ASSEMBLED – WHETHER PARTIALLY OR FULLY AUTOMATED Whether for production or a customer order: Reliable sorting and picking are among the most complex and labor-intensive processes in intralogistics. To save costs, related tasks are continuously fully or partially automated. Our automation components and systems support you in the efficient implementation of such projects. The focus is on cost optimization in identification and quality control as well as in transport and labeling. This allows you to discover potential savings even where fully automated solutions are not possible,...

Solutions for sorting and picking Sorting and picking tasks are very labor-intensive processes in intralogistics and thus tie up a lot of manpower. However, this labor is already in short supply today and is becoming increasingly expensive at the same time. The right sensor technology makes it possible to partially or fully automate entire processes and solve these problems.
