SOFTWARE AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

Easy to use and highly reliable

Software and Control Systems

Control systems determine how efficiently and reliably a warehouse system operates. DAMBACH combines decades of industry experience with state-of-the-art control technology for stacker cranes, conveyor systems, and shuttle systems. From simple controls for individual components to fully automated systems with SAP integration, we offer everything from a single source.

Control concept

Decentralized, scalable, and secure

The DAMBACH control system is based on SIMATIC S7 or Allen-Bradley control systems. Fieldbus solutions at the sensor and actuator level minimize installation effort, eliminate potential sources of error, and enable cost-effective expansions. Decentralized controllers independently monitor motion sequences and support various driving strategies without additional effort.

The CARRIER, COMPACT SHUTTLE, and RAIL CART of the MONOFLEX electric floor conveyor system are equipped with decentralized control. Sources of error are minimized, and installation times are reduced.

End-to-end software solution 

From the sensor to the ERP system

Connection to higher-level control computers is achieved via standardized communication interfaces or flexibly programmable interfaces in the material flow computer. Direct connection to SAP is also possible. Visualization systems offer comprehensive logging, statistical functions, and remote diagnostics for reliable troubleshooting without the need for on-site intervention. An intuitive user interface and a consistent menu structure—from the machine control system all the way to the control room—further simplify operation.

Benefits of the DAMBACH Control System

Modular, scalable, and designed for maximum operational reliability

Minimal installation effort

Decentralized fieldbus solutions reduce cabling requirements and minimize potential sources of error.

Short startup times

Factory pre-wiring and standardized control modules speed up commissioning.

Standardized interfaces

Integration with a wide variety of warehouse management systems, including SAP-LES, using Windows-based visualization concepts.

Scalable and expandable

Decentralized technology enables cost-effective expansions without changing systems, including strategy, backup, and redundancy plans.

Energy recovery

Control systems with integrated DSE measurably reduce energy consumption and peak currents.

Remote diagnosis

All systems allow remote access for troubleshooting, thereby reducing the workload on operating personnel.

DAMBACH Smart Energy Management (DSE)

DSE reduces the energy consumption of automated storage systems by one-third, and peak power draw from the grid drops to one-fifth. Recovered braking energy is temporarily stored locally and reused immediately. Cost-effective, reliable, and retrofittable for existing systems.
