Stage Case study Wildeboer
Flexible system solution for maximum efficiency

Wildeboer automates with mobile robots and VDA 5050 fleet manager

To increase storage capacity and optimise its processes, Wildeboer opted for an expandable automated system with mobile robots. This is a game-changer: spontaneous changes in day-to-day business can be absorbed by quickly integrating additional robots via the VDA 5050 interface.

Challenges

  • Construction of a new logistics centre to increase space capacity and reduce throughput times
  • Automation of redundant transportation tasks to counteract the increasing shortage of skilled workers
  • Smooth operation of two different mobile robot types within one control system
  • Route optimisation and backpack management for optimal fleet utilisation

Solutions

  • 1 Autonomous Mobile Robot SOTO for the transportation of small load carriers (SLCs).
  • 6 ERC 213a Automated Guided Vehicles for the transportation of large load carriers (LLCs)
  • External VDA 5050 fleet management system MHP FleetExecuter for controlling the mobile robots
  • Jungheinrich Logistics Interface as middleware between MHP FleetExecuter and peripherals

Results

  • A modern automated system with the option to integrate additional components and suppliers
  • Enhanced productivity, with more than 83 pallet and mesh boxes transportations and 22 KLT transportations per hour
  • Mobile robot SOTO impresses with maximum process reliability thanks to real-time material tracking
  • Smooth use in man-machine operation thanks to the mobile robots’ extensive safety systems
