DAMBACH Lagersysteme: Software and Control Systems for Warehouse Systems

Control panel for operating an automated warehouse system

Control systems determine how efficiently and reliably a warehouse system operates. DAMBACH combines many years of industry experience with state-of-the-art control technology for storage and retrieval machines (SIR-machines), conveyor systems, and shuttle systems. From simple controls for individual components to fully automated systems with SAP integration—all from a single source.

The DAMBACH control system is based on SIMATIC S7 or Allen-Bradley control systems. Fieldbus solutions at the sensor and actuator levels minimize installation effort, eliminate sources of error, and enable cost-effective expansions. Decentralized controllers independently monitor motion sequences and enable different travel 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.

Connection to higher-level control computers is established 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 reliability in 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.

Decentralized fieldbus solutions reduce cabling requirements and sources of error.

Factory-installed wiring and standardized control modules accelerate commissioning.

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

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

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

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

DSE reduces the energy consumption of automated storage systems by one-third, and peak current 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.
