As a supplier of complete intralogistics systems, psb has an impressive broad system range that allows us to respond optimally to all customer requirements. At the same time, all components come from a single source: Mechanical, control, software.
Whether it’s overhead or floor-bound system modules: Our range of services extends from conventional conveyor technology to storage systems for cartons, totes and pallets, picking systems and sorters, to a driverless transport system or overhead conveyor technology. Ideally supplemented by the psb selektron software package.
psb supplies an extensive system range of automated storage solutions. This enables the right storage technology to be realised for every project. All storage technologies boast a modular design, storage up to four deep and innovative energy restitution systems.
Several versions and a series of different load-handling equipment is available for reliably transporting and storing many different types of load-carrying devices. Depending on what is required (storage height, storage capacity, performance etc.), the suitable automated storage system is designed from the »kit« of tried-and-tested components.
Storage capacity can be increased even during ongoing operation by the simple addition of other shuttles. The psb vario.sprinter is the optimum alternative for warehouses with very high throughput rates or for projects in which the initial investment should be limited.
The energy supply of the new pallet shuttle is provided by supercapacitors. This allows for a more efficient system layout and a high degree of flexibility. So, for instance, it is possible to use several shuttles with one AS/RS stacker crane. This system solution is also available for cold storages with temperatures of up to -28°C.
psb order picking systems are distinguished by their economic efficiency and positive ergonomic properties. Various systems are available for the particular tasks: From manual picking trolleys to fully-automated high-performance workstations.
We can individually adapt the respective picking systems to suit the needs of any client project.
Depending on the configuration level, the modular psb high-performance system is able to buffer over 50 source and order totes at the picking station and, if necessary, make them available for picking within a matter of seconds.
This eliminates the need for uneconomical multiple transport from the warehouse to the picking station. The result is significantly reduced order throughput times. Another advantage is the sequencing of the items in line with the order.
Picking capacities of over 1,000 picks/h are possible at each workstation.
The same item is always made available in static flow channels, whereas the item totes are swapped by a storage and retrieval unit in dynamic channels. Picking with flow channels can be used for all load- carrying devices: from boxes to pallets.
Several order totes are available to the worker at the same time. A put-to-light display indicates to the worker the order tote into which the picked volume of goods is to be placed.
The article totes are made available from the warehouse according to their sequence by way of conveyor technology. When the order has been completed, the order tote is sent for dispatch and the next order is started.
Different tools such as pick-by-voice or put-to-light are used depending on the solution requirements.
psb overhead conveyor systems deliver the optimum solution for every requirement. Whether it is a long, short or micro-trolley, whether driven or with ravity tracks, whether trolleyless or with trolleys: psb offers a broad system range with the most suitable solution for any task.
This extensive system kit is complemented by the manual or automated psb warehouse for hanging items.
The goods are put into a hanging pouch and are transported, buffered, sorted or sequenced in this bag. In the dispatch area the goods are removed from the pouch either manually or automatically and are then directed to the shipping process.
In addition to solutions for individual parts, psb also supplies trolley systems that handle several parts. The psb micro-trolley is recommended when the emphasis is on sequencing and sequence generation. Different system tasks can be integrated seamlessly into the overall sequences without the need to change the goods carrier.
Manually pulled trolleys are a simple and smooth alternative for transportation of hanging items within a warehouse. Up to 20 trolleys can be coupled and thus be moved by one person. Various switch configurations for branching and consolidating the material flow are available in the modular system.
Height differences from one level to the other are covered by means of driven incline and decline conveyors or, a rather space-saving design, by means of a driven spiral conveyor.
The GTT modular system offers an ideal operational instrument from receiving of goods to goods dispatch: at moderate investment costs.
The psb product range for unit load conveyors is an essential part of intralogistics material flow solutions. Roller, belt or chain conveyors, including efficient transfer elements, can be combined with each other to suit individual requirements. Three-dimensional configuration is also possible, with vertical and diagonal conveyors.
The appropriate components are selected according to the weight and size of the goods to be transported and the desired system capacity. The conveyors of this product lineare suitable for transporting individual parts, containers, boxes and pallets. Even complex sorting tasks can be handled easily.
Automated Guided Vehicles or AGVs are flexible links between production and storage – self-driving, battery-powered vehicles for many different transport tasks.
The maximum configuration of the modular system is the integration into an overall concept with selektron host computers for flexible production interlinking and dynamic solutions for distribution tasks. The vehicles are controlled by laser navigation, so that no works have to be carried out on the floor.
psb has developed various carobot vehicle types for different load classes. Depending on the task, these can be combined with a wide range of load-handling equipment.
With the psb micro-trolley sophisticated sorting tasks can be seamlessly integrated into integrated processes without the need to change the goods carrier. This also applies to more detailed sequence sorting. The micro-trolley is also used as a carrier in automated buffer Areas.
The goods are put into a hanging pouch and are transported, buffered, sorted or sequenced in this bag. In the dispatch area the goods are removed from the pouch either manually or automatically and are then directed to the shipping process.
A precisely defined control system and a seamlessly incorporated material flow organisation for production and distribution – including warehouse management and an ERP connection – are integral parts of modern intralogistics systems.
psb offers two different warehouse management concepts. With the tested and permanently enhanced psb selektron software and SAP® EWM, the best possible WMS solution is available for each individual project. We advice and support our customers comprehensively in finding and implementing the right software.
psb selektron offers comprehensive solutions for production control and warehouse management. They are seamlessly based on the selektron material flow control system and the selektron system controller.
The software package is completed by the interfaces to client-specific business processes and ERP systems, the inventory solution, the management information system and the selektron SCADA system visualisation.
All selektron system solutions include a module for remote access to the controllers and computers of the intralogistics system. It allows for remote system maintenance and also, if any support is requested, quick response and elimination of faults by psb service technicians: 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Whether it’s standalone or line production – we have the right system that’s tailored to our clients’ individual tasks.
Integrated concepts from a single supplier: Design and implementation of intralogistics for distribution – from the receipt of goods to picking to dispatch.
The smooth integration of all components is absolutely essential for realising complex overall systems. This is a major challenge to intralogistics, particularly when different delivery cycles and sales channels must be combined in a single overall concept.
Intelligent returns management is of special importance to economic success. That is why in every client project, psb pays great attention to the development of a customised returns concept.
In addition to the assets of all psb intralogistics systems, like e.g. high-performance warehousing and order picking processes, our solutions for cold storages meet all specific requirements in this sector.
This applies to both, the technology which is operated under extreme ambient conditions of up to -30° C, and the software which manages the warehouse and provides a number of special functions for the cold storage operation.
For a high degree of energy efficiency, and thus the economic efficiency of cold storages, a very high storage density is essential. In addition, particular attention has to be paid to the uninterrupted cooling chain: All upstream and downstream processes like production and shipment are seamlessly integrated into the overall concept.
The careful handling of the goods plus short lead times are guaranteed. In an integrated concept it is possible to combine several different ranges of temperature.
It is not only the technical equipment which has to be fit for the cold storage environment. The proven psb selektron WMS includes special functions which support the efficient operation of the cold storages as well.
Among such features are: the strict observance of the date of minimum durability (sell-by-date) of the stored goods and integrated batch tracking. Besides an increased degree of transparency in the warehouse management, the WMS permanently optimises the storage strategy for the up-to-date stored goods.
