Application: Conveyor Interface

In many applications, other warehouse automation equipment may be present. As a part of the designed system, the Hyster Robotic Forklift Truck may be required to interact this equipment. Conveyors are common, especially when considering production take-off. A COMBOX allows the sensors, PLC or other control gear to be connected to the Robot Manager to control calling of and interaction with a Hyster Robotic Forklift Truck.

In this example, the end-of-line sensor of the conveyor has detected a pallet. The COMBOX is linked to this sensor and has automatically called the Hyster Robotic Forklift Truck to collect the pallet and transport it away.
