Innovative Solutions for a Sustainable Future

September 9, 2020

To encourage positive climate action across the world, industry groups and corporations around the world are leveraging their expertise to offset climate change. Pepperl+Fuchs is pleased to announce that SSI SCHAEFER—a Pepperl+Fuchs partner and provider of products and systems for material handling—has been recognized for its sustainability efforts. SSI SCHAEFER’s commitment to energy efficiency, ecologically sound construction methods, and predictive maintenance through digitalization ensures the sustainability of customer solutions.

Harnessing the Power of Sensor Technology

Pepperl+Fuchs’ partnership with SSI SCHAEFER began when the company started planning its US Distribution Center in Katy, TX. Pepperl+Fuchs wanted to create an advanced material handling system that harnessed the power of its own sensors, but needed the help of a system integrator whose warehouse management technologies could support them

By combining around 1,000 Pepperl+Fuchs sensors with WAMAS and WAMAS Lighthouse software from SSI SCHAEFER, the team was able to build a reliable, modern, and sustainable ASRS solution that reduced Pepperl+Fuchs’ carbon footprint and created a new level of supply chain visibility for its North American operations.

Accelerate Production Without Sacrificing Flexibility and Quality

Accelerate Production Without Sacrificing Flexibility and Quality

Pharmaceutical and biopharma companies looking to improve quality and compliance need modern, digital solutions that can evolve with their needs. The goal is a solution that provides greater visibility and real-time insight that can help improve quality and compliance. This is especially true for companies that must properly handle thermo-sensitive material. Those that rely on cumbersome, error-prone paper tracking systems are at a disadvantage. Increasing the rate of production while staying compliant requires real-time production data using digitized compliance procedures.

Adding Smart Condition Monitoring Sensors to Your PLC Control Systems Delivers Data in Real Time

Adding Smart Condition Monitoring Sensors to Your PLC Control Systems Delivers Data in Real Time

Condition monitoring of critical components on machines delivers enormous benefits to productivity in a plant.  Rather than have a motor, pump, or compressor unexpectedly fail and the machine be inoperable until a replacement part is installed, condition monitoring of those critical pieces on the machine can provide warning signs that something is about to go terribly wrong. Vibration measurements on rotating equipment can detect when there is imbalance or degrade on rolling bearing elements.
