EVENT PREVIEW IMHX 2016 INTRALOGISTICS AGV
BITO Storage Systems launch an innovative driverless intralogistics transport solution into the UK that does not require permanent fixtures, making it easy to implement, adapt or remove. LEO LOCATIVE is a ‘low-level’ AGV that simply follows red tape laid on the floor which can be added to or removed whenever required. It does not require a WLAN or central control computer. This makes LEO an agile, user-friendly option for all kinds of order picking operations and is particularly useful for ecommerce, order picking peaks and assembly processes; an efficient and flexible low-level AGV solution that offers quick payback. In addition, BITO will show the
company’s new EQ range of collapsible containers. Folding the sides of an empty EQ saves up to 75% on volume to provide a Euro-container option for transporting goods. Sized 600 x 400mm at the base, the EQ container has two height options: 285mm and 320mm. It can accommodate loads of up to 20kg. Depending on use the ribbed base or double base options provide additional strength and rigidity.

TOTAL BUSINESS SOLUTION
VNA OPERATION WITH WMS FOR TWO PALLET DEEP STORAGE
Narrow Aisle has several innovative products to release at the show including the Flexi AC StorMAX, an advanced intralogistics concept that combines very narrow aisle operation with the ability to store two pallets deep up to 11 metres high which when used in conjunction with Warehouse Management System (WMS) technology can service over twice the number of pallet locations than a traditional reach truck-centred storage cube layout. In addition, the Flexi AC VNA articulated forklift solution
operates safely in the smallest aisles and offers the fastest throughput speeds with no requirement for costly guidance systems. Visitors to the Narrow Aisle stand will be able to assess the FlexiPiCK, a case layer picking order assembly solution that has been designed to eliminate manual case picking and provides pick rates of 1,200 cases per hour per man. Developed by Flexi Warehouse Systems in the USA this mechanised case picking approach is coming to the UK FMCG supply chain. The Flexi NANO low cost VNA machine aimed at the out of
town retail sector is easy to drive and offers versatile pedestrian truck performance. The system design and delivery capabilities of Narrow Aisle’s Flexi Warehouse Systems Division will feature prominently. Customers are invited to bring along their warehouse dimensions and parameters and obtain a set of storage solutions free of charge. Using CAD, modelling and strategic partners in WMS, storage equipment systems and complementary materials handling equipment the Division is able to optimise the efficiency of any warehouse space to provide the most cost effective solution in a faster implementation timeframe than has previously been thought possible. Key personnel will be on hand throughout IMHX to explain how.

innovative software gives it the flexibility to tackle a wide range of applications. The robust
M12 HARTING connectors provide for both Power-over-Ethernet and eight GPIO (general purpose inputs and outputs). An optional external power supply adds further flexibility in configuration. The mechanically flexible Ha-VIS LOCFIELD RFID antenna requires minimal space as it consists only of an industrial-grade coaxial line. HARTING will show its RFID tags, readers,
connectors and switches that direct customers and systems integrators can use to build complete reader networks for RFID applications.
