Advanced logistics
What is advanced logistics?
Advanced logistics refers to a set of processes, services and technologies aimed at adding value to traditional logistics flows. While standard logistics involves ordinary storage, warehouse handling and transport, advanced logistics aims to provide an effective response to the growing demands of Industria 4.0:
- greater level of automation and digitalisation;
- integration between handling/production system and IT/management systems streamlined processing;
- streamlined processing;
- accelerated work;
- increased productivity and levels of workplace health and safety;
- reduced errors and risk.
Based on any application requirements, Dymation offers customers a series of high- performance innovative solutions to achieve these goals:
- smart vehicles for shuttle automation;
- collaborative robots for picking automation;
- AGVs and AMRs capable of manoeuvring in tight spaces and reaching high areas.
Advanced logistics services
Each production facility has its own context, with specific characteristics, features and requirements. On this basis, in order to adopt the right solutions, it is key to first analyse specific requirements and select the services and resources that will make the difference. Dymation offers versatile and modular solutions to meet the specific needs of businesses.
Dymation automatic machines, in addition to being at the technological forefront, have very quick installation and commissioning times, including a customer testing phase. Testing makes it possible to check that workflows and integration with existing systems are also optimised. Finally, there is a tailored training phase for employees.
Smart advanced logistics solutions
To improve logistics and intralogistics performance, Dymation offers highly flexible and innovative industrial-automation systems and solutions:
- AMR, Mouse and Tractor units: the former are driverless vehicles using magnetic or mapping systems, equipped with remote control technology and a peripheral device capable of detecting current position and transmitting the relevant data. AMRs move by itseld using high-level software including artificial intelligence (AI). A “Mouse” is a small vehicle designed to move underneath carts or racking in order to lift and move them (towing power: 3000 kg), while Tractors are designed for heavy loads (up to 6000 kg);
- LGVs (Laser Guided Vehicles): a sub-category of AGVs with a laser-scanner guide system. These are an ideal solution for handling heavy loads in tall and narrow aisles;
- robotic applications: industrial robots suitable for various contexts, based on the type of loads to handle, the work areas and the level of automation required (collaborative or industrial robots);
- automatic warehouses: storage systems that can be adapted based on quantity, type of goods and order-processing methods;
- Login automation: enables full integration of machinery with the entire fleet of traditional and automated vehicles. This can be managed remotely and is essential to control and optimise all operational flows.
