InThe level of automation in material handling and logistics is constantly increasing. Robots and intelligent machines are assisting employees in the warehouse on a daily basis. The material flow in the assembly line as well as the shipping preparation are also managed more and more by these intelligent machines.

The influence of Industry 4.0 is clearly noticeable in all areas. But this rising level of automation requires highly efficient, durable and reliable power supplies. That is why many of the world’s leading material handling and logistics companies have partnered with PULS in order to maximise the operation and reliability of their systems

Highest efficiency and smallest size

Warehouses and distribution centres frequently operate 24/7 and down time can result in delayed order fulfilment, customer dissatisfaction, and lost revenue. At the same time, manufacturing companies are faced with a rise in cost pressure.

PULS provides industrial IP20 DIN rail power supplies for operation in on-site cabinets as well as IP54 or IP65/67 field power supplies for on-machine installation directly in the field. All PULS power supplies combine the highest efficiency ratings and smallest form factor available today. The high efficiency leads to lower power losses in the form of heat – which in turn leads to a longer service life and a higher reliability. This allows material handling & logistics automation system builders to minimise their costs and maximise the operation of their systems.

PULS DC power supplies – ideal for dynamic load requirements

Dynamic load requirements are often found in material handling systems and can expose power supplies to great amount of stress. PULS DC power supplies can withstand high peak currents, making them an ideal solution for this kind of application. Depending on the type, the PULS power supplies have power reserves of up to 50%. The new FIEPOS Field Power Supplies even feature power reserves of up to 100% for 5s.

Technical information:

Application:

Profile application at ferry terminals: The Free Flow Profiler automatically measures and classifies vehicles under free-flow traffic conditions on multi-lane roads (Multi-Lane Free Flow; MLFF). The system is based on 2D LiDAR sensors from SICK and can be easily adapted to suit the specific conditions on-site. The Free Flow Profiler can be extended with software modules and hardware components, for example automated axle counting.

Automated vehicle measurement in free-flow traffic conditions: If too wide or high, vehicles can cause accidents or damage to infrastructure. The Free Flow Profiler uses 2D LiDAR sensors to perform automated checks on vehicle size in free-flow traffic conditions. The modular structure of the system means the system functionality can be upgraded to include components for vehicle classification, axle counting, or detecting overheated vehicle parts.

From August 13th to 15th, AUMI successfully organized a teambuilding program for its employees in the coastal city of Quy Nhơn, with the participation of all AUMI staff from the three regions: North, Central, and South

With the slogan ‘UNITY – NEVER DIES’, the trip enhanced team spirit, fostered connections across the three regions, encouraged the drive to achieve set KPIs, and improved work efficiency for the remainder of the year

The program was built around the idea that ‘A single member or department on its own cannot create a breakthrough. Each department is like a part of the body; the company thrives based on the health of each part and the mutual support of all employees.’ This spirit was evident throughout the trip, from the teambuilding activities to participating together in adventurous games on Kỳ Co Island, and especially during the evening team-building session that strengthened team spirit.

Thanks to the teamwork exchange program, AUMI also discovered many new musical talents, potential comedians, and eloquent, skillful hosts.

Let’s take a look at some of the impressive images from AUMI’s 2024 travel program in Quy Nhơn:

Lubrication points

• Lubrication points (roller bearings) are located on the drive shaft between drive motor and pump body or in the pump housing.
• Lubrication of gland seal and labyrinth seal prevents the ingress of dirt and / or pumped media into the bearing. Seals of bearings and bearing housings must be permanently supplied with the specified amount of the right lubricant..

Challenges

Pumps are normally operated under extreme conditions. These can include heavy contamination from slurry or dust and hazardous materials such as alkali solutions and weak acids.

• Dirt, water or other contaminants must not enter the bearing points

Many lubrication points can only be accessed with extreme protective measures (safety  gloves and mask). This frequently leads to neglect of the prescribed lubrication.

Lubrication starvation results in wear and leads to failure of equipment components or  pump leakages.

• Lubrication while the machine is in operation must be ensured
• Operation in potentially explosive areas
• Workplace safety must be ensured

Solutions

Direct mounting on the lubrication point: e.g. perma CLASSIC 

• Easy, quick mounting
• For lubrication points with little vibration / shocks
• For easy-to-reach, safe lubrication points

Remote mounting to the lubrication point: e.g. perma STAR VARIO

• For lubrication points with strong vibration / shocks (isolation of lubrication system)
• For lubrication points which are unsafe to access: Mounting in safe areas
• For hard-to-reach lubrication points
