Weighing Systems + Forklift Computers Industry Applications

Background Introduction By installing weighing sensors on forklifts and automatically detecting lifting pressure, the pressure signal is converted into a current or voltage signal. After A/D conversion, the analog signal becomes a digital signal. This data is then processed by a microprocessor and transmitted to the onboard computer via Bluetooth, serial port, or USB interface. This enables forklifts to load and unload goods according to plan, saving time and effort, preventing overloading and over-transportation, reducing equipment wear, lowering transportation costs, and improving work efficiency. At the same time, in case of forklift overload, the onboard computer can provide alarm information such as audible, visual, and text alerts, enhancing the safety of forklift operations. This solution is widely used in warehouses, workshops, freight yards, logistics, and other fields.

Cold Storage Dedicated Forklift Computer Industry Applications

Background Introduction Cold storage is primarily used for constant temperature storage, with a temperature range generally between -30℃ and +8℃. Equipment used therein must meet requirements for waterproofing, dustproofing, and anti-condensation. In cold storage logistics, forklifts and computers are usually equipped to implement an information traceability system. By assigning a unique identification code to each item (box) of goods via RFID tags or barcodes, the logistics flow of each item from warehouse entry/exit to the final point of sale is supervised. This achieves automation of logistics information within the warehouse for goods (including: inbound management, warehousing management, outbound management), improving in-warehouse logistics efficiency and reducing costs. The industrial computer system integrates RFID readers and barcode system components onto forklifts, enabling connection to the enterprise's internal information system via wireless communication. This greatly reduces the time forklift operators spend searching for goods during delivery, transportation, and dispatch, while also providing reasonable classification and control of goods, thereby achieving the goals of improving efficiency, reducing costs, and effective control. Forklift computers also feature heating functions, perfectly solving common electronic equipment issues like fogging and condensation encountered in cold storage.

Integrated Weighing, Dimensioning, and Scanning Machine Industry Applications

Project Background A DWS system is a data acquisition system that includes Dimension, Weight, and Scanning (barcode information). The system uses laser scanning or vision scanning, weighing scales, and industrial barcode reading technology. It can promptly and accurately obtain the weight, volume, and barcode data of goods and upload them in real-time. It is equipment used in the logistics industry for barcode scanning, weighing, and capturing/saving waybill images of parcels during receiving and dispatching. It features simple operation, comprehensive functions, and high efficiency.

Solution Requirements ● Due to the specific nature of the industry, equipment needs to be robust and durable. ● Needs to support both wired and wireless network communication methods. ● Requires voice broadcast function.

Solution Introduction Industrial panel PCs can work with DWS systems to process parcels (goods) statically or dynamically, eliminating tedious manual operations. This helps customers process large volumes of work content quickly and efficiently. Picking/order fulfillment, packaging, order review, and carton sorting for outbound delivery are orderly and on-time, meeting the outbound delivery needs of e-commerce and logistics industries.

Solution Advantages ● Products are fully functional, rugged, and easy to maintain. ● Supports both wired and WiFi for multiple data communication methods. ● Built-in speakers can broadcast various statuses as required. ● Designed for industrial environments, ensuring long-term stable system operation.

Logistics Sorting Line Workstation Industry Applications

Project Background In response to the informatization needs of the modern logistics industry, logistics companies need to manage equipment, personnel, and goods in sorting centers with information technology. Sorting line workstations are an important part of the entire sorting information system, primarily composed of scanning and weighing areas, automatic sorting areas, and end-of-line chute areas. Staff collect parcel barcode information and weight using devices such as scanner guns, cameras, and weighers, greatly reducing the workload and error rate of operators and gradually achieving intelligent information management.

Solution Requirements Limited space on the sorting line requires appropriate workstation dimensions. The workstation needs to monitor the status of on-site switches and buttons and control audible and visual alarms. The workstation can only communicate with the database via a wireless network.

Solution Industrial panel PCs, in conjunction with switches, buttons, and audible/visual alarms, improve fault response time and processing efficiency, strengthen problem response, and achieve the logistics company's overall management goals of visualization and controllability. The provided solution includes: DPC Series Industrial Panel PCs Scanner gun

Solution Advantages Reliable product quality, meeting customer requirements for long-term operation. Multiple I/O interfaces, capable of communicating with devices of different brands and protocols. Can serve as an integrated management host for on-site information aggregation and data processing. Supports up to 6 serial ports, saving wiring costs and reducing construction difficulty.
