software
motions and material flow processes are automatically controlled and orchestrated by the OS. In addition, superimposed ERP systems or users can manually trigger driving commands at application level.
User Interface (UI)
customers’ own software modules developed in-house
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
central material flow management software controls the technical and highly complex material flow processes
Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
low software equipment of the stator electronics
the technology essentially consists of a large networked electromagnet installed in the ground that acts as a drive for all transport units.
hardware
the principle of an electric motor does not necessarily require a round design
distributed over many places in the plane, the entire floor becomes an electromagnet
a couple of wheels for the transport module
suitably placed counter magnets and a chassis that suits the purpose and accommodates all of this
the transport module can assume any size and thus accommodate a wide variety of loads
in our Berlin site we already have a full functioning demonstrator floor with several transport units for further research and development
software
motions and material flow processes are automatically controlled and orchestrated by the OS. In addition, superimposed ERP systems or users can manually trigger driving commands at application level. The OS prepares motion orders and targets, compares these with the system status and forwards the motion commands to the electromagnetic floor (“stator”) via the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer).
