چکیده

Forklift trucks are a basic element in material handling and will help to control the flow of goods in the future. This paper outlines how forklift trucks with integrated RFID hardware can be deployed in warehouse IT systems. Forklift trucks will be able to communicate with management assistant systems by means of RFID and WLAN. Goods carriers like pallets and pallet cages are equipped with RFID transponders. Information about handling and processing can be locally stored on the goods carriers. A method for the measurement of the stability of communication with components integrated in forklift trucks is presented. Components, which are specifically developed for this new system architecture, are described. Economic advantages are investigated, too.

The Case for Choosing 3-Phase AC Electric Forklift Trucks Over Vehicles Based on DC Electric, Internal Combustion or Diesel Technologies

In the early 90’s, Jungheinrich was the first company to use static inverters to change the direct current of a forklift truck’s battery into 3-phase AC current, opening the door to the many benefits of AC-power (See Sidebar entitled “Chronology of three-phase AC introduction”). Today, Jungheinrich installs its proprietary AC technology in all its electric truck categories (counterbalanced mode...
