Stacking

Intralogistics is the complete process of managing and optimizing the logistics of materials within the warehouse of a manufacturing plant. When we picture operations like this, we imagine material handling systems, robotic operations, and palletizing systems. Palletizing goes through many changes throughout its process, and traceability is critical to ensuring we keep track of where everything is.

Simply put, palletizing is the automatic process of stacking goods or products on pallets in a specific way. Trays are usually packaged with plastic film or tape. It is important to identify the tray and its contents by reading the barcode labels on the tray.

To ensure traceability goals are met, barcode reading solution products require a large field of view. Pallet labels can be applied automatically or manually, printed in real-time or pre-printed, and located anywhere and on any side of the pallet. Pallet packaging is highly reflective in certain lighting conditions, making barcode readability more challenging.

The large field of view solution is useful in palletizing and intralogistics , as a single barcode reader can be used to cover both sides of the pallet, even at high tilt angles. Full pallet coverage scans can be achieved with just two readers.

DATALOGIC Palletizing and Intralogistics Solutions

Detalogic S.p.A offers a range of effective pallet scanning solutions, depending on the required scanning coverage.

1. Single case barcode reading for palletizer entry. Offers excellent Bar / RQ Code reading performance due to its small size, ruggedness, ease of integration and configuration, and connectivity.

2. Matrix 320 was used to achieve greater field coverage on the finished tray. These include reading large labels with multiple barcodes, manually applied labels and non-repeating positioning, efficient reading of poorly printed low-contrast barcodes, and reading at high tilt angles. In most applications, a single barcode reader can cover two adjacent sides of the tray.

3. AV500 barcode reader for palletizing applications requiring larger field of view coverage.

All of the Datalogic S.p.A’s barcode readers above are imaging technologies developed for palletizing applications. OEMs can integrate it as part of the original packaging machine design, or retrofit it later.

Advantages

The above pallet solutions from Datalogic S.p.A offer a variety of options and benefits to meet and exceed customer needs. Key benefits include:

1. Validity
