Pepperl+Fuchs: Accurate Product Measurements for Material Handling

In material handling applications―i.e., indoor warehouses, manufacturing facilities, automotive plants, airports, cold storage―pallets carrying products down a conveyor is a standard application. While standard, there are frequently complex problems that require exact product measurement solutions during this automated process. Conveyor speed and control, anti-collision (ZPA), safeguarding, and of course pallet profiling are among the most common challenges.
