Miebach Consulting Brownfield Automation Study Part 3 – not everything which is technically possible might make sense…and sometimes a digital twin to optimize current operations is more recommended The last part of the study deals with the market awareness of different solution – which technologies are already in place, which are under review or potentially not yet well known. Automated storage technologies are by far the most widespread, whereas cobots, automated pickers and loading/unloading technologies the least widespread. Cobots are also currently only a minor focus of interest for potential users, perhaps also due to their low level of awareness. Users are currently focusing in particular on AGVs / AMRs for pallet transportation, automated forklifts and loading/unloading technologies. Finally, we also asked the participants which measures can be taken to optimize current warehouse operations alternatively to brownfield automation. Improved order release and control as well as personnel resource planning are real alternatives to automation – and both are significantly supported by a Digital Twin of the warehouse. Brownfield Automation shows significant potential especially in internal transport and picking – if shift models, seasonality & peak as well as existing infrastructure allow economical automation. But before doing so, a deeper analysis of the current use of the warehouse, e.g. supported by a Digital Twin, to optimize utilization of people and fleet should be conducted to avoid automation of inefficient processes and organizational set up.

Miebach Consulting Brownfield Automation Study Part 2 – Obstacles for Brownfield Automation – Differences between Feeling and Project experience Following this discussion we asked what are the biggest obstacles for a Brownfield automation. Biggest problems are seen – besides CAPEX - in existing building infrastructure such as floor quality, column grid, width of aisles, etc, followed by conversion during operations and current IT set up. These answers do not correspondent with our project experience! CAPEX shouldn`t be an argument due to the fact that almost all potential suppliers offer leasing models or Robot as a Service – if not, there are also financial solutions available on the market which can convert CAPEX into OPEX for Logistics Equipment. Existing Infrastructure can be an obstacle or at least significantly increase costs if e.g. a floor remediation is necessary. Same for automated Fork lift trucks in a narrow aisle system due to the fact that aisle width of the existing manual racking typically does not fit or traffic would case jams because of the additional AGVs needed. Conversion during Operations is often less complex at it seems to be due to the fact implementation and testing can be done aisle by aisle, AGV by AGV, Assortment by assortment – it might be that typical user have limited project experience but with a professional support this challenge can be solved. The most underestimated drivers are – based on our project experience Seasonalities and peaks on the one hand and Shift models on the other hand. Economical efficiency of automated solutions becomes always tricky in businesses with high Seasonalities and Peaks because of the request to automate for the peak but savings can only be calculated versus the average workload…. Some suppliers offer specific solution to increase e.g. the AGV fleet for peak seasons temporarily which sounds promising. But going into more details also these solutions often request a minimum rental time of several months and unfortunately e.g. Back Week takes place in the same time window for all businesses so that these offers are also often limited to a certain percentage of additional peak capacity. Shift models also drive the economical efficiency of automated solutions – the longer (per day) a technical installation can be used, the more economical it can be. This is one of the main reasons why e.g. AGVs to serve production lines are often seen because production runs minimum 2 shifts, often 3 shifts whereas in Distribution warehouses similar processes are not yet automated due to only 8 – 12 operating hours per day. In addition, production shows no intra-day peaks and normally lower seasonalities whereas distribution warehouses show intra day peaks, intra week peaks and a much higher seasonality.

The Application Relationship between Conveyors and Sprocket Chains Conveyors play a crucial role in various industrial fields for the efficient transportation of materials. One of the key components that significantly contribute to the proper functioning of many types of conveyors is the sprocket chain system. Sprocket chains are mechanical power transmission elements that work in conjunction with sprockets. In a conveyor setup, the sprocket is attached to a driving shaft, which is usually powered by an electric motor or other prime movers. The chain, consisting of a series of interconnected links, meshes with the teeth of the sprocket. As the sprocket rotates, it imparts a pulling force to the chain, causing the chain to move in a continuous loop. This movement of the sprocket chain is harnessed to drive the conveyor belt or other conveying surfaces. For example, in a typical belt conveyor, the sprocket chain may be located at one or both ends of the conveyor. The chain engages with the underside of the conveyor belt, and as it moves, it pulls the belt along with it, thereby transporting the materials placed on the belt from one location to another. The precise meshing and synchronized movement between the sprockets and the chain ensure a smooth and reliable transfer of power, enabling the conveyor to operate at a consistent speed and with minimal slippage. Moreover, the design and selection of the sprocket chain are critical based on the specific requirements of the conveyor application. Factors such as the load capacity of the conveyor, the speed at which it needs to operate, and the environmental conditions in which it will be used all influence the choice of chain type, its pitch, and the size and material of the sprockets. A properly matched sprocket chain system not only enhances the overall performance of the conveyor but also contributes to its durability and longevity, reducing maintenance requirements and downtime. In conclusion, the relationship between conveyors and sprocket chains is one of interdependence. The sprocket chain serves as the driving force that enables the conveyor to fulfill its function of material transportation, and a well-designed and maintained sprocket chain system is essential for the efficient and reliable operation of conveyors in a wide range of industrial processes. www.hxsprocket.com
