Step by step: an IoT logistics project

I would like to share with you some thoughts on the latest warehouse logistics automation project we implemented for one of our partners. The company is specialised in the design, production and sale of prosumer household appliances worldwide.?

The initial project goal was to develop a pick-to-light system for the customer's warehouses. The aim was to increase the efficiency and accuracy of picking operations during order processing.

True to be told it? was never just about electronic design or technology innovation. I enjoyed of course this IoT development, but the project itself provided me so much more than just delivering a product.

In this case, our task was also to picture how the technology would adapt to the different real use cases of the product in the field, namely in the warehouse.

We therefore conducted an analysis of the different functionalities that the system would have to fulfil depending on the type of user (junior, senior users, etc.).

How did we manage it? Each user is recognised through an RFID tag with its own profile, our control unit with Briki? technology communicates the profile to the warehouse management system: at that point, depending on the user operating, different buttons and functions are automatically activated.

We have also defined the type and positioning of the sensors on the racks in order to detect different boxes at different heights in different areas of the warehouse and keep the system reliable at all times.

How did we handle it? Our control unit communicates the type of rack on which the sensor is to operate, and the sensor configures itself.

In a nutshell, this is what I thrive to achieve: cut and sew the perfect suit for our customers, who not only gain a technology partner, yet the certainty to innovate and take their business one step further.?
