Full process control system for a tyre sorting plant with 3 sorting circuits — including WMS integration, label printing, and shrink tunnel control. Throughput: up to 50,000 tyres per day.
The plant comprises three sorting circuits, each with three infeed stations and inbound scanners. Tyres are sorted to 9 outlets. When a tyre enters the system, a shipping label is requested from the WMS, printed, and applied to the tyre. Within the sorting circuit, the applied label is scanned and the target outlet is determined.
3 infeed stations each with inbound scanners, 9 configurable outlets.
WMS integration for shipping labels — request, print, and apply in one automated step.
Shrink tunnel HDTs communicate with the PCS via REST web service for status control.
Designed for a throughput of up to 50,000 tyres per day.
A tyre is placed at one of the infeed stations. An inbound scanner identifies the tyre, triggering a label request from the WMS. The shipping label is printed and automatically applied to the tyre.
Within the sorting circuit, the applied label is scanned again, the target outlet (1 of 9) is determined, and the tyre is routed accordingly. The shrink tunnel HDTs continuously report their processing status via REST.
The process control system communicates with multiple external systems using different protocols.
Bidirectional communication via TCP/IP telegrams.
Per-tyre shipping label retrieval from the warehouse management system.
Label printers receive print data via FTP.
Status and control communication via REST web service.
From plant control to WMS integration — we build tailor-made process control systems for sorting and logistics plants.
