IPS provided
the complete control and bar code system for this pharmaceutical warehouse
distribution center.
The automated system includes over 10,000 feet of conveyor, 90 motors,
140 photoeyes, and is controlled by multiple PLCs and computers.
Our Conveyor Graphic and Wave Selection computer systems allow the
customer to observe his entire operation to ensure accurate and fast
shipping of more than 10,000 cases nightly.
A custom Visual Basic program allows the shipping operations personnel
to select the appropriate "wave" for routing to either holding
lanes or release to the shipping sortation conveyors, thus ensuring
a steady flow of products to shipping.
