Smart Shelf

Whether in high-rack warehouses for pallets or rapidly changing interim storage facilities, pressure or weight changes can be detected at all times by integrating pressure-sensitive sensor foils. Thus, a permanent inventory can be realized. The system then provides real-time inventory information which can be used, for example, to detect incorrect entries in the system, to avoid incorrect order picking or for automated replenishment or to optimize warehouse logistics in general. Moreover, pressure sensor foils that are placed underneath valuable goods can immediately raise the alarm if the pressure distribution changes, e.g., when items are stolen. The measurements are performed using our pressure sensitive matrix recorded via crosstalk-less readout electronics designed by iL. The data is transmitted to a Cloud and presented in our Smart Shelf Dashboard. The benefits at a glance: • Autonomous inventory control • Plausibility check • Detection of mistakes • Simple installation • Favourable unit costs
