Abstract

System for supplying stock material, characterized in that it comprises a storehouse (2) capable of containing material (3); a production unit (5) capable of receiving said material (3) via a supply station (4) fed from said warehouse (2); said system comprising at least one remote sensor (10) capable of detecting the presence or absence of said material (3) in said supply station (4).

Description

The subject of this utility model is a system for stock material supply.

As is well known, in the area of warehouse management, it is necessary to make materials, articles, etc. available again after they have been withdrawn for use by the production unit.

It is therefore necessary to replenish the warehouse with the withdrawn material in order to maintain the continuity of the supply of material for production and to avoid any interruption.

If the material supply operations or the withdrawal of material from the warehouse are carried out manually as usual, there is a risk that the actual quantities of the withdrawn material and its delivery times to the production unit cannot be controlled.

The object of the present utility model is to implement a system for the storage material supply that is improved compared to the previously known systems.

Within the scope of this task, the purpose of the utility model is to implement a system for the supply of storage materials that offers the advantage of automating the movement of materials between the storage facility and the production unit.

A particular purpose of the utility model is to realize a system capable of detecting the lack of material in the supply unit and prompting the replenishment of the material taken.

Another purpose of the present utility model is to realize a system that is not bulky and does not impede the movement of material and operators.

This system, thanks to its special design features, is able to ensure maximum reliability and safety in operation.

This and other purposes, which will be explained in more detail below, are achieved by a storage material supply system as claimed in the appended claims.

• 1 eine schematische Darstellung ist, die ein Beispiel einer Materialversorgungseinheit darstellt, die von dem System gemäß diesem Gebrauchsmuster bereitgestellt wird, dargestellt in der Materialaufnahmephase;
• 2 eine ähnliche Ansicht wie die vorhergehende ist, die das System während der Abrufphase des entnommenen Materials darstellt;
• 3 eine schematische Ansicht ist, die ein Beispiel für eine Sensorinstallation gemäß diesem Gebrauchsmuster darstellt.

Other features and advantages of the subject of this utility model emerge from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the utility model, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:

• 1 Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a material supply unit provided by the system according to this utility model, shown in the material pickup phase;
• 2 Figure 3 is a view similar to the previous one, showing the system during the extracted material retrieval phase;
• 3 12 is a schematic view showing an example of sensor installation according to this utility model.

With particular reference to the numerical symbols of the above figures, the system for stock material supply according to the utility model generally designated by the reference numeral 1 comprises a remote sensor 10 capable of detecting the presence or absence of material, for example consisting of material packs 3 contained in a warehouse 2 and which must be taken to a supply station 4 capable of forming a unit with the store 2 for supplying material 3 to a production unit 5.

According to this utility model, the sensor 10 is an optical sensor, for example a laser, which is suitable for detecting objects, crates, trolleys, pallets, etc. from a distance.

3 1 shows an example of application of the sensor 10, advantageously installed on the ceiling or at least at a height of a few meters. Typically, the sensor can be operated with an adjustable detection distance of up to 3 meters.

Larger distances can be achieved by using suitable detection sensors.

The sensor 10 wirelessly transmits the information to a transceiver (gateway) 6 for recording the information in a computer system.

Each time an operator removes a container 3 from the detection area 4 of the sensor 10, the latter automatically sends the information wirelessly to the warehouse manager or to the supplier or to the customer's management information system.

Practice has shown that the utility model fulfills its tasks and purposes.

In fact, a system for supplying stock has been realized, equipped with a detection device with a remote sensor, which offers a great advantage over systems using contact sensors.

The advantages of the system according to the utility model are both constructive and functional.

Of course, the materials used, as well as the dimensions, can be any according to the requirements.

In summary, the application discloses a system for storage material supply, characterized in that it comprises a warehouse capable of containing material; a production unit capable of receiving the material via a supply station fed from the warehouse; the system comprising at least one remote sensor capable of detecting the presence or absence of the material at the supply station. Advantageously, the remote sensor is an optical sensor, for example a laser, suitable for detecting the material made up of objects such as boxes, trolleys, pallets, etc.
