Materials provision using eKanban system

For the automated supply of materials to assembly points and workstations in production halls and intralogistics applications, roller conveyors within eKanban racks are fitted with intelligent sensors. If a sensor registers the removal of a small load carrier (SLC) from its rack shelf, a request for replenishment is automatically triggered in the material flow control system. This in turn triggers an order of new materials, without any need for manual activity – and provision is oriented exclusively to real requirements.
