Logistics

Are you looking for a way to optimize and automate your logistics operations? Read here more about how Zemic's solutions can benefit your business. In this sector we have two kinds of solutions.

Firstly we recognize the smart warehouse solutions, which are increasingly being used. Here we find smart warehouse management solutions, autonomous robots, shelf weighing, stock and storage control for the in- and outbound logistics.

Secondly we see the traditional logistics weighing solutions, such as weighbridges and onboard weighing in all kind of vehicles.

Smart warehouse solutions for intralogistics

Intralogistics is a term which is often used nowadays. Intralogistics is the profession of optimizing, integrating, automating, and managing the logistical flow of information and material goods in a warehouse.

Weighing is used in smart warehouse solutions for control and monitoring. Zemic load cells are often used to measure more accurately. Our load cells are designed to optimize and automate your warehouse management, increasing efficiency and output.

A few examples of smart warehouse solutions:

• Shelf weighing for accurate stock control: Monitoring and controlling the storage of SKU’s (stock keeping units). We see a lot of solutions where the shelf is being weighed in order to control stock.
• Autonomous robots for 24/7 operation: Also the use of autonomous robots driving around in smart warehouses 24/7 causes a high increase in efficiency and output. Autonomous robots are already in use in 3 party logistics processes.
• Stock and storage control for in- and outbound logistics.
• Overload protection of warehouse lifting equipment is also relevant to this industry.

Traditional accurate logistic weighing solutions

The most common way of weighing trucks is the use of weighbridges. You will find Zemic compression load cells with the associated accessories installed in many weighbridges throughout Europe.

Onboard weighing solutions are in high demand. Dual shear beam load cells or onboard load cells are often used on vehicles. Zemic has developed a special onboard mounting kit for installing load cells on a truck. This kit makes installing more easy an assures accurate weighing. In several industries, such as the waste and environmental industry, vehicles need to register weight. You can read more about this topic in our case study about onboard weighing. On this page you will find our most commonly used load cells for onboard weighing.

Also in the agricultural industry, vehicles are equipped with load cells and the appropriate mounting assembly. The integration of these sensors makes precision agriculture possible, as you can read in this case study.

Weighing is also important in other vehicles, like;

• Aeroplanes; you will find more information in our case study about Fokker.
• Racing cars
• Helicopters
• Trains

Our Zemic loadcells are also used for these applications
