RFID Equipped Forklift Trucks

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.

In the fields of production, manufacturing and supply chain management, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is regarded as one of the most important technologies. Nowadays, Mobile RFID, which is often installed in carts or forklift trucks, is increasingly being applied to the search for and checkout of items in warehouses, supermarkets, libraries and other industrial fields. In using Mobile R...
متن کاملTHE IMPACT OF FORKLIFT DRIVERS’ BEHAVIOR ON WAREHOUSE PERFORMANCE Prof.dr. R. de Koster, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Drs
Motivation The importance of managers in maintaining high levels of warehouse performance (quality, productivity, flexibility, safety, sustainability, responsiveness) has been shown before in several studies. However, the impact of shop floor workers, specifically forklift drivers, has not been studied so far. As internal transportation is critical in many warehouses, it can be expected that, i...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملResearch of the Forklift Power-assisted Steering System Based on Safety Steering Speed Control
Enhancing the safety of forklift power-assisted steering system is a problem urgently to be solved in practice. First of all, forklift power-assisted steering system model is established according to Lagrange dynamical equations, and three variable assistance characteristics curve fitted for reach trucks is designed combined with fuzzy control algorithm. Then sliding mode variable-structure con...
