Material Handling
From logistics centers to warehouses and airports, reliable material handling is very useful in material flow systems. Goods have to be quickly and accurately distributed to their intended destination. Safety and efficiency throughout the process are key factors. Sensor solutions from Pepperl+Fuchs ensure smooth processes in intralogistics, fast transport of goods, and optimal use of storage spaces. Applications range from identification, positioning, collision prevention, and data transfer.

Our product highlights for material handling applications
With safePXV, a contact-free, safe absolute positioning as per SIL 3/PL e can be done with only one sensor for the first time. Be it for use in stacker cranes in material handling or for exact positioning of electric monorail conveyors (EMC) in assembly lines—due to its easy commissioning and a user-friendly handling, the positioning system is suited for a large number of different applications.
The globally unique safePGV positioning system is predestined for navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGV). Besides absolute positioning, the sensor provides all values needed for reliable steering. Besides, the sensor permanently ensures the minimum distance between the AGVs, guaranteeing safety of all people working around them. This is all done with only one sensor in accordance SIL 3/PL e.
Colored paint/tape defines the route; Data Matrix codes provide absolute positioning, and control codes signal upcoming turns and bends - The Position Guided Vision (PGV) positioning system is the only product on the market offering a distinctive combination of navigation, tracking, and position feedback of automated guided vehicles in one device.
The R2000 laser scanner impresses with its extremely accurate distance measurement in a 360° scanning angle. The high scan rates make it ideal for high-speed applications in logistics, industrial conveyors, and transportation.
With its innovative Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT), the R2100 provides reliable and precise distance measurement information with fast response times for rapid processes and maximum efficiency. Eye-safe Ultra-IR LEDs allow operation over a wide range of applications with no risk to personnel.
With the new G20 ZPA roller module, individually timed conveyor systems maintain a pre-defined distance between individual products and packages while also preventing damage from unwanted collisions.
The compact F190 impresses with a typical read range of 0.2 to 1.5 meters. Several products in a container can be detected at the same time using multi-tag reading. This reduces complexity and processing time simultaneously.
One module to support the different Ethernet communication protocols PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT: the Ethernet IO Modules establish communication between the central control and the field level. Thanks to the integrated IO-Link master function IO-Link sensors and actors can be easily connected to fieldbus modules. This opens up a variety of new possibilities—be it for parameterization, diagnosis or maintenance.
The LGM relieves the user from performing complex single-beam evaluations for measuring tasks. 16 measuring options are integrated into the unit. Users can select the optimum mode for their application from the evaluation methods and receive direct measured values in millimeters via an IO-Link interface.
The wear-free LS682 optical data coupler comes with a stable transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s over a distance of up to 300 m, hence enabling reliable processes.
For efficient and easy scan processes and data collection in hazardous areas and harsh industrial environments, the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ecom offers a comprehensive portfolio of intrinsically safe handheld computers, barcode scanners, RFID readers, tablets and smartphones.
