New Jungheinrich AGVs for Sauer Polymertechnik
Sauer Polymertechnik has commissioned Jungheinrich to implement a logistics system solution at its production site in Föritztal. The order comprises an automated guided vehicle system (AGV) with eleven automated guided vehicles (AGVs) of the new Jungheinrich ERC 213a type, which will in future take over the material flow between production and the high-bay warehouse in two halls. The automated trucks are connected to the warehouse management system (WMS), also from Jungheinrich, via the Jungheinrich logistics interface. In total, more than 150 stations are served by the AGVs. The automated high-platform trucks travel distances of up to 870 meters. The AGVs are expected to carry out over 100 transports per hour at Sauer.
The order now placed by Sauer Polymertechnik follows the construction of a fully automated high-bay pallet warehouse in 2015. This includes the double-deep, 130 m long, 23.5 m wide and 38 m high racking system in silo design, the conveyor technology including centering station, pallet doubler and pallet labeler, the fire protection doors, a platform and the three storage and retrieval machines, which, including the telescopic forks, come from Jungheinrich subsidiary MIAS. In addition, the entire software and IT for the warehouse comes from Jungheinrich, consisting of the control technology and the WMS with integrated material flow computer.
The ERC 213a truck type used is the latest model in Jungheinrich's AGV portfolio. Thanks to its construction, the automated pallet truck is specially designed for automated transport processes in confined spaces. Thanks to modern lithium-ion technology, the ERC 213a has a high level of availability. A 2.8 kW three-phase AC motor provides constant power, while the electrically controlled lift motor ensures smooth lifting at lifting heights of up to 4,400 mm. Thanks to its steel frame and closed frame structure, the ERC 213a has a particularly robust design. Safety systems such as the standard personnel protection scanners check the travel path for obstacles during operation. The new arrangement of the personal protection scanners around the AGV ensures non-contact safety in the drive direction, load direction and when cornering. Navigation is performed by means of a laser. Reflectors on the route or a combination of reflectors and environmental features can be used for this purpose. Jungheinrich developed the ERC 213a on the basis of tried-and-tested series production trucks.
