Improve Your Processes With Barcode Scanners, Wearables and RFID for Logistics

Picking and sequencing

Picking and sequencing processes have to be fast and accurate. For these applications, FEIG offers various stationary and mobile products that can be used singly or together. They provide the efficiency you need whether you work with 1D or 2D barcode, RFID or a combination of both.

When you consider mobile devices, the hyWEAR family of wearable scanners offers enormous advantages.

• Having both hands free for work accelerates processes by up to four seconds per scan.
• Signal transmitters such as different-colored LEDs, buzzers and vibrating alarms intuitively integrate employees into the process. The sounds immediately and clearly signal whether or not the picked item is correct.
• With state-of-the-art communication interfaces such as Bluetooth and WLAN, FEIG products are flexible and easily connected to existing infrastructure.

Picking stations and packing points

FEIG offers a wide range of stationary HF and UHF RFID sensing devices for picking stations and packing locations, so it’s likely we have the right product for your needs.

FEIG products have a very high bulk detection speed. They feature trouble-free operation for multiple detection devices in the same frequency range. Parallel operation in dense reader mode offers the same fast, accurate operation. In addition, FEIG products offer dynamically controllable read ranges.

A wide range of antennas and commonly integrated interfaces offer flexible connection to existing systems for picking stations and packing points.

Automatic material retrieval and refill control

Separate processes in the production cycle have to be coordinated for the right material to be ready at the right time in the right place. Control of the route train plays an essential role in maximum efficiency. Manual methods such as collecting cards or empty containers are time-consuming, error-prone, and can lead to production interruptions.

With the LRU and MRU product series, FEIG offers RFID detection systems that directly control material retrieval. FEIG systems detect small load carriers marked with RFID transponders when they are placed on the empty container sink and automatically generate a call-up in the production control system. Even autonomous route train systems can be automatically controlled.

Milk Run material supply

In the Milk Run system, efficient material provision is the highest priority. It is equally important that the right material appears in the right compartment or at the correct assembly site.

By scanning the part and compartment number, the route train driver is immediately informed whether the part has been delivered to the proper destination. It does not matter whether parts, KLTs and compartments are marked with 1D or 2D barcodes or RFID tags.

The HyWEAR compact product family is ideal for this purpose. Employees with both hands free accelerate the process by up to four seconds per scan. Signal transmitters such as different-colored LEDs, buzzers and vibrating alarms intuitively integrate employees into the process. The sounds immediately confirm the choice or alert the employee in case of an error.

Smart Order Solution

FEIG also offers Smart Order Solution, a complete decentralized refill control solution at customer consignment warehouses or directly on a construction site. With Smart Order Solution, customers can request material in seconds.

With FEIG's capture devices, products can be marked with either a barcode or an RFID tag. By simply scanning the material or shelf compartment, the material’s information is stored in the device and sent directly to the customer eCommerce platform via the integrated EMMWare Scout software. All this occurs without involving the customer’s IT infrastructure.
