Wind of Change for Intralogistics
Bizerba at the CeMAT 2011 in Hannover (hall 12, booth C16)
(firmenpresse) - Balingen, 2nd May 2011 – Driven by globalisation companies are confronted with
dynamic challenges. The goal is to constantly improve the logistical flows of material and
goods that take place on the company grounds and to reduce the time required for the
processing of orders. At the CeMAT 2011, one of the most important intralogistics fairs in
the world, Bizerba is going to present from 2nd to 6th May system solutions that enable
companies to efficiently optimise processes from goods receipt to dispatch (hall 12, stand
C16).
Transparent goods receipt
Already at the goods receipt employees can weigh delivered materials with table-top and
floor scales and mark them with the GLP label printer, alternatively with RFID
transponders. The new PC terminal iS70 communicates to the subordinate IT of the
company. Here modules of the software family .BRAIN ensure transparency by providing a
decentralised overview of the stock and the new deliveries. The company can perfectly
store and track the goods on their way through production and up to dispatch.
Software-supported commissioning – Clarity for upcoming inventories
Furthermore Bizerba presents a software-supported commissioning table. The integrated
WinCIS Counting software enables a quick and accurate counting of mainly small parts in
large quantities. The reference weight of the corresponding product is registered within
the programme. That means that if an undefined amount of screws is placed manually on
the scales, the measured weight will provide information on the exact number of items.
Further modules extend the range of functions of the software, among others by statistical
assessments and reports. “The company can keep track of which amount of products has
been dispatched to a customer in a specific period of time. All data are constantly
available and provide a high transparency; a great advantage especially for upcoming
inventories”, explains Dieter Conzelmann, Director of Industry Solutions at Bizerba.
Successfully implemented in European parcel and express delivery services: the DWS
system for the automatic determination of weight and volume
In the logistics sector it is of growing importance to calculate shipping costs not only
according to weight but also according to volume weight. As for the calculation of the
transport costs, the optimum utilisation of space in transport vehicles or the subsequent
fast determination of the suitable storage location for temporary storage. Bizerba
combines the corresponding processes - dimensioning, weighing and scanning (DWS) - in
an innovative system that has already been successfully implemented in European parcel
and express delivery services.
At the beginning a barcode scanner identifies the product on the conveyor line. The
Bizerba CWL-B4.1 scales subsequently weigh it within the dynamic operation. A volume
measuring device then determines the height, width and length of the packaging. Using
these values the volume can be calculated. According to Conzelmann, “all determined
data will be submitted to the subordinate host system. Here the data is stored in a
database and at the same time returned to the GLM-L box labeller. This device then
applies the label with the volume and weight data”. As an option the labelling device
involves an RFID unit integrated into the printer. On the transponder of the Smart Labels
exact data on the product or the delivery can be stored. This enables an ideal
traceability. Suitable Smart Labels are available at the Bizerba label factory in Bochum.
High degree of own intelligence - new box labeller for production, warehouse and
distribution logistics
Box labellers of the GLM-B generation are used in production, warehouse and
distribution logistics. The new models 350/700 are equipped with applicators with a stroke
distance of 350 or resp. 700 millimetres and can label up to 45 packages of different sizes
from the top or the side per minute. Different mounting stands enable various labelling
positions. As the label reels have a relatively strong diameter of 300 millimetres less reel
changes are required during operation.
The device is controlled either by internal or by external operating terminals.
“Corresponding to Bizerba’s system concept the box labeller is mainly used as total printer
in fully automatic check-weighing and price labelling lines, e.g. by being installed
downstream of the GLM-I labeller or the CWE checkweigher”, says Conzelmann. It also
has a high degree of own intelligence so that it can save article, text and layout data and
can also assume inspection and activation tasks in combination with external scanners.
