Complete ControlSystems

From load sensing devices and bar

code scanners, to programmable

logic controllers and PCs, we offer

comprehensive solutions, solutions

that can integrate seamlessly into

other facility software systems.

The Siemens Dematic RapidVIEW

system monitor software combines

real-time system information with

a graphical operator interface.

System performance can be

monitored and an additional

maintenance module can be

included to allow comprehensive

maintenance tracking and

management.

Simulation Modeling

The ability to test your system

before it is installed is an invaluable

asset. Siemens Dematic System

Simulation creates a fully

functioning 3D model that helps

us to evaluate your systems

performance, while it is still in the

planning stages. Optimizing system

layout for improved throughput,

as well as identifying and

alleviating potential bottlenecks

are typical goals for simulation

models.

Low maintenance and quiet operation are designed in

Roller AccumulationConveyors

Siemens Dematics ongoing

development of accumulation

conveyor assures you are getting

the latest technology with the

highest throughput rates. Their

pneumatic operation is simple,

quiet and reliable. Loads can be

accumulated and then released in

slug or singulation mode.

Zero pressure accumulation

conveyor can accommodate a wide

variety of load weights and sizes.

Smooth starts and stops are

designed in, which ensures even

fragile or unstable loads can be

safely accumulated and released.

Roller TransportationConveyors

These versatile transportation

conveyors are designed to convey

everything from pallets to drums

to work-in-process containers.

Transportation conveyors can be

chain or lineshaft driven.

Heavy duty chain driven units are

designed to withstand wide

temperature variations as well as

contaminates. These conveyors

transfer loads positively and can

operate at variable speeds.

Heavy duty lineshaft conveyor is

modular, and its ability to power

multiple beds with a single drive

means efficient, quiet, heavy load

handling.

Chain Transportationand AccumulationConveyors

Low cost chain conveyors can be

used when the bottom of the

load can be bridged from strand

to strand. They are simple, quiet

and require little maintenance.

Chain conveyor units, in

transportation as well as

accumulation, are offered in two,

three or four strand types.

Turntables

Powered turntables reorient

product by turning it ninety

degrees according to the direction

of flow. Once the load is turned,rollers transfer it in either

direction. These turntables can be

used to distribute loads by

transferring only the loads that

need to be transferred. Loads may

pass through the turntable

without being redirected. The

units are quiet in operation and

are built for long life.5

Transfer Cars

Transfer cars efficiently distribute

loads between conveyor lines.

Transfer cars can be used as

sortation devices for order picking

or shipping operations. Their

smooth, dampened motion means

that product is always safe and

secure.

Right Angle Transfers

Moving product 90 degrees to

the direction of flow is

accomplished by either pop-up

chain transfer for roller transport,

or by pop-up roller transfers for

chain transport. These transfers

redirect loads by lifting and

transferring without reorienting

them. They can move product to

the right or left and can be used

to sort loads by either

transferring a load or allowing a

load to pass through them. All

Siemens Dematic right angle

transfers are designed for high

and continuous throughput.

Pallet Accumulators andPallet Dispensers

These automatic units accumulate

and dispense pallets where high

throughput is required. Safe, quiet

and efficient loading and

unloading is designed in. Pallet

accumulators and dispensers are

cost effective and maximize

interior space.

heights. They can also be used to

raise or lower loads to feed

production equipment, overhead

monorail systems or palletizing

stations. Extra heavy duty

components provide long life and

maximum uptime.

Heavy Unit Load Lifts

Heavy unit load lifts move

product from one level to

another. They maximize floor

space and minimize load

handling. Lifts provide transfer

positions for fork lifts or connect

conveyor lines of differing

Automated Storage andRetrieval Systems

(AS/RS)

Only AS/RS offers extra high

density storage, a secure

environment and fast, heavy unit

load throughput. They also provide

improved product tracking in a

quiet operating environment.

Working in concert with other

Siemens Dematic technology,

AS/RS delivers a comprehensive

solution for your logistics needs.

Automatic GuidedVehicle Systems(AGVS)

AGVs expand the capabilities of

heavy unit load systems. When a

non-fixed conveyance is required,

Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems

may be the answer. They are

versatile, quiet and can share floor

space with people and fork lift

traffic. Our Virtual Path guidance

system uses a gyro for navigation

and can be rerouted easily by

modifying its layout with AutoCAD

Software.

Automated ElectrifiedMonorail Systems(AEM)

Monorail Systems make very

efficient use of space by placing

the transport system neatly

overhead. They work quietly and

can carry loads of up to 3000pounds per trolley. Elevation and

directional changes can be

incorporated into a continuous

rail. And, monorail systems

support product transportation

speeds of up to 600 feet per

minute.

Inverted MonorailSystems

Modularity makes inverted

monorail systems adaptable and

expandable. Theses incredibly

smooth and quiet systems have

individually controlled carriers thatallow changeable product flow and

required little maintenance. A

comprehensive range of track

components is available.

Dematic has many of these special

tools already developed. Unique

equipment for work-in-process,

packaging, and warehousing

applications allows us to provide

you with the best solution.

Custom DesignedEquipment

Our diverse experience with heavy

unit load handling can be put to

work in your operation. Custom

designed equipment, such as this

satellite shuttle, may offer a unique

solution that can help you cut costs

and gain productivity. Siemens

Work-In-Process

Systems

Siemens Dematic understands the

importance of keeping the

manufacturing process on

schedule. Work-in-process

equipment designed with an eye

on proper ergonomics is our

strength. In-floor systems keep

product at optimum working

heights, gravity units make it easy

to move heavy loads from station

to station. Additionally, timely

cycling of products through

assembly cells keeps workers busy

and assures higher throughput.

Applications for heavy unit load handling systems

Packing and ShippingSystems

From fragile electronics and food

products to complex truck engines

and washing machines, we have

the equipment that handles them

with a light touch. Our product

engineers know that moving loads

between packing and shipping

tasks need careful, safe

transportation. Our equipment is

also designed to be integrated

with wrappers, palletizers and

other packing and shipping

equipment.

Finished GoodsHandling Systems

Finished goods can often be

transported at higher speeds than

other heavy unit loads, so Siemens

Dematic offers systems that can

increase throughput from

receiving to shipping. These

systems move product swiftly

without compromising accuracy

or product safety.

AS/RS Interface

Heavy unit load AS/RS systems

require input and output staging

and conveying systems. These

systems must work in concert

with the AS/RS to provide just-in-

time product throughput.

Working together the AS/RS and

its interface provide a compact

and dense operation that

maximizes floor space and

minimizes product delivery time.

Robotic Interface

The queuing of product, slip

sheets and pallets through

robotic cells needs precise

handling. Timing and positioning

are the key to maintain a

consistent product flow. Siemens

Dematic has been a pioneer in

robotic interfaces and

understands that here, minding

the details makes all the

difference.
