Logistic systems

BITZER logistic systems aim to improve internal logistic processes in different industries. The overall target is to optimise the processing time of receiving and shipping of goods.

Therefore, the system automatises goods movements enabling truck drivers to weigh themselves without support from operating staff. This is realised by ident terminals. At those stations the customer identifies himself by using a chip card, barcode or smartphone and follows the indicated operating instructions (also available multilingual).

It is possible to integrate printer and/or electronic sign pads in such self-operating terminals. Using this, the driver is able to print out his delivery note independently. Optionally, the self-operating terminals can be provided with a touch operation. In the next step the complete delivery data can be transmitted to superior EDP systems.

Combined with driver guidance systems the truck drivers can navigate quickly on the premises. The instructions for the drivers (e. g. the unloading point) can be displayed on a single or multiline display board. That way material delivery and collections can be implemented without operating personell. This allows a 24 hour operation.

In order to realise this automatic process, weighing technology, such as truck scales, bulk scales, silo weighing systems or sack filling and weighing machines, is connected via interface to existing internal or external EDP systems. Those interfaces are implemented via XML and/or Webservices. Furthermore, also process systems can be connected to the logistic system (e.g. via Profibus/Profinet). Using this, it is possible to control loading stations or hauling distance automatically.

Due to customised software realised by our inhouse software development, we guarantee quick and flexible support. High availability of scales and software as well as data security are of prime importance.

All in all, BITZER logistic systems lead to unattended receiving and shipping of material and therefore realise 24 hour operation without the need of operating staff.
