The DWS system is the brain of our automation and the reason why our parcel management solutions are so smart. By using IoT supported software, the system communicates relevant information, such as weight and dimensions, directly to and from your existing systems.
DWS stands for Dimensions, Weight and Scanning. Using IOT technology, all the intelligence is in the DWS system, which sends and receives this information from and to other equipment and your own WMS system to make everything as seamless as possible.
This user-friendly IOT communication means you never have to invest in servers or electrical power units. The DWS hub is only supplied with high voltage power, and all our automation units are connected through an IO link, both in terms of power supply and other communication.all our devices in the automation in series via IO-link. Both for power supply and other communication.
The rapid growth of e-retailers and third-party logistics providers is not without its challenges. Especially when your business is growing a little too fast. With increased growth and a higher order flow comes a need for more resources, and without automation, there’s only one solution: more staff picking, packing and sorting parcels.
Investing in traditional automation equipment often requires a completely different set of skills to succeed. Who will solve the technical and service aspects when you run into everyday issues? For example, if there’s a faulty sensor, you might have to halt the whole process. This is expensive and creates a poor experience for the end consumer, in terms of longer delivery times and various other issues. Investing in automation should not require you to employ an in-house technician.
Thanks to our IO-link, we can quickly notify your staff when something is wrong. In 9 out of 10 cases, disruptions are caused by small things that are easy to fix. When a problem arises, we can easily tell you what’s wrong and how to fix it from our office in Tenhult, without having to visit you on site. Automation should not have to be unnecessarily complicated or expensive.
For example, if a piece of cardboard breaks off and gets stuck in a conveyor belt, the system will alert us of the abnormal power consumption. We can then easily communicate the correct information to your staff and point out exactly where the alert is coming from and what they can do to fix it. If something is about to break (which will happen sooner or later), we can anticipate this and work proactively to avoid prolonged production downtime during critical periods. Like during Black Friday.
