PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

For any company, it is essential to maintain high and tracked storage performance within its automated ASRS warehouse. To ensure suitable working conditions, prevent pallet handling disruptions due to unexpected events or unforeseen increases in operating costs, Eurofork has created the new frontier of telescopic forks

5.0 EVOLUTION

We have leveraged our expertise in automated handling and technology development of pallet shuttles to create E-SMARTFORKS, the technological evolution of telescopic forks. E-SMARTFORKS represent the ultimate solution to eliminate uncertainty and keep your warehouse always operational. Equipped with advanced sensors and IoT devices from leading brands, they can monitor the status of the handling device in real time, anticipating any issues and supporting predictive maintenance, without the need for interconnection with the company’s MES and ERP systems.

E-SMARTFORKS mitiga il rischio di downtime

Mitigating the risk of downtime is at the core of our solution, thanks to the continuous analysis of operational condition data. E-SMARTFORKS utilize advanced technology to analyze operational data in real time, enabling proactive measures to reduce the risk of downtime. This innovative approach ensures that potential issues are identified and resolved before they can impact productivity.

E-SMARTFORKS manutenzione predittiva integrata

E-SMARTFORKS emphasizes predictive maintenance, transforming the concept of optimizing maintenance time and frequency through advanced big data collection capabilities. This process allows for the adaptation and scheduling of maintenance activities based on the specific needs of the device. By leveraging data analysis, E-SMARTFORKS minimize downtime and enhance operational efficiency.

E-SMARTFORKS monitoraggio performance

E-SMARTFORKS represent a new benchmark for the performance of handling devices. Thanks to the integration of dedicated sensors and IoT devices, it is possible to safeguard the accuracy and control of the device’s performance, maintaining high standards in both torque management and precision control.

E-SMARTFORKS protezione completa dei componenti

Equipped with dedicated sensors for continuous temperature monitoring, E-SMARTFORKS ensures 24/7 protection of component longevity. Meticulously designed to withstand extreme environmental challenges, each fork offers reliable and durable performance. The integrated temperature monitoring system allows for timely detection of variations and enables preventive interventions.

E-SMARTFORKS cloud big data

E-SMARTFORKS introduce a revolutionary feature with automatic alert notifications, enhancing capabilities in cloud solutions for big data. Once the controller is installed, the system takes care of monitoring and automatically sends email notifications for any triggered alerts. This innovative functionality allows the system to proactively manage the forks, thereby improving operational efficiency.

E-SMARTFORKS machine learning

E-SMARTFORKS, through their advanced data collection capabilities, enable continuous machine learning, marking a significant advancement in automated handling technology. Thanks to cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, E-SMARTFORKS gather valuable real-time operational insights, allowing for a detailed understanding of their environment.

Thanks to cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, E-SMARTFORKS gather valuable real-time operational insights, allowing for a detailed understanding of their environment.

E-SMARTFORKS represent the evolution of traditional telescopic forks, combining material handling technology with IoT sensors and devices capable of monitoring the fork’s status and performance in real time during operation. Thanks to the continuous collection and analysis of operational data, E-SMARTFORKS provide constant control over the system’s operating conditions, identifying any anomalies and helping to optimize performance over time. Smart forks enable a shift from a predominantly reactive maintenance approach to a predictive one, capable of identifying potential issues before they develop into failures or system downtime. This approach increases the reliability of the automated warehouse, reduces the risk of system downtime, and helps contain operating costs, ensuring greater continuity of operations. In addition, the system can operate without the need for interconnection with company MES or ERP systems, making implementation simple and immediate.

E-SMARTFORKS are primarily designed to operate within production lines where, unlike stacker crane applications, many control checks are not performed. However, they can also be used in a variety of other industries and system configurations, depending on the characteristics of the load units and the installation.

It is not possible to install this technology on existing telescopic forks. However, there is no need to replace the entire system: it is sufficient to replace only the forks with ones specifically designed to integrate the new technology.

The sensors collect data and parameters related to the operation of the device, such as: • the number of cycles performed • device vibrations • chain tension • operating temperatures • other indicators useful for monitoring performance and system condition This information is processed by a dedicated control unit designed to manage and analyze the collected data. Communication takes place exclusively with the PLC of the integrated system. Consequently, data protection and security follow the same standards and security measures already adopted by the system integrator for the automation of the stacker crane.

No, dedicated technical personnel is not required to monitor the system. The control unit automatically transmits notifications, alerts, and status updates regarding the device, highlighting any maintenance requirements or inspections to be carried out.

Installation and commissioning times do not differ from those of a traditional telescopic fork. During the design phase, Eurofork defines the required activities and the related timeline, optimizing the installation process to minimize the impact on warehouse operations.
