Wireless-based eKanban for the shop floor and logistics
The basis for uninterrupted integration of physical objects in state-of-the-art factories is a system which is perfectly adapted to the application in question. Facilitated by a wireless network, such systems enable data and information to be captured and made available to downstream intelligence. As real-life examples have already shown: investing in a wireless automated materials requisition system can prove cost-effective within just a few months.

Oubliez les câbles: passez aux inductifs radio certifiés
Les industriels peuvent encore être réticents à l’idée d’utiliser des capteurs radio pour contrôler leurs automatismes en zones ATEX. Il existe pourtant des solutions certifiées pour ces environnements. Entretien avec Jean-Marc Jacob, directeur de la filiale française du groupe steute, spécialiste de l’automatisme en atmosphères explosives.

User interfaces: from manufacturer to service provider
Wireless user interfaces have multiple benefits, making them a popular choice in many medical disciplines. However, they also involve a higher level of effort for device manufacturers with regard to testing and documentation than cabled controls – unless the supplier is MDR-ready and able to provide the user interface with all the relevant documentation.

Wireless benefits
Nearly all customised user interfaces developed by steute Meditec in cooperation with medical device manufacturers communicate with the device in question via remote control. And wireless command devices are also becoming increasingly popular as standard user interfaces – with good reason.

Remote material requirements planning using the pull principle
The replenishment of assembly components not in the managed inventory is a good place to start when digitalising and optimising the shop floor. For this task, a wireless-based automated materials requisition system is available to users. The cost and effort of installation and initial operation are manageable, the tools exists, and the benefits are considerable.
