Skokie, IL -- (SBWIRE) --05/25/2011 -- The Elettric 80 WMS (Warehouse Management System) solution optimizes the use of different machine groups (palletizers, wrappers, labeling, data tracking and transports (LGVs) in relation to the logistic process and production management. With a modular design, Elettric 80 WMS solutions are easy and fast to implement, and can be tailored to meet the needs of the customer and the existing computer system. In its simplest form, the WMS can data track products during the production process and act as an interpreter and message buffer between the existing ERP and Warehouse Management Systems, WMS, while also having the capability to be responsible for all WMS functionality.

The Warehouse Management System (WMS) monitors and guides the complete process: including user0friendly terminal displays and simple system set-up. The WMS is a scalable SW package that is easy to configure and integrates into different system environments, from acting as the main WMS to providing be-spoke WMS solutions for specific material handling tasks.

Elettric 80 WMS solutions are flexible and based on state-of-the-art database technology, primarily in SQL format. The WMS functionality can be connected to a wireless tablet PC to simplify the operation of the production unit.

The key strength of Elettric 80 lies in the company's concept Freeway. A highly flexible system for material handling using palletizing robots and laser automated guided vehicles (LGV/AGV), high speed wrappers (Silkworm) and a pallet control system, that links to a state-of-the-art WMS (Warehouse Management System).

A WMS is the brain of the automation system. It keeps track of the overall performance of the system, and if required the inventory and data tracking of goods.

A WMS is usually designed to identify product location, quantity, size, and order information to determine where to stock, where to pick, and in what sequence to perform these operations. In effect, it monitors and guides the complete end-of-line automation process.

LGVs / AGVs / SGVs
A LGV physically moves the goods and acts as the link between the different machines within the warehouse environment. The vehicle combines many different systems to ensure reliability and efficiency, including Energy, Safety, Fork/load handling and Guidance and Control systems. LGV is also known as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) or Self Guided Vehicles (SGV).

Elettric 80 is a global provider of end-of-line automation solutions designed to increase operational efficiency for high volume Consumer Products manufactures.

Skokie, IL -- (SBWIRE) --05/23/2011 -- Elettric 80 is unique in the material handling industry because of the substantial investment in developing a "standard" product line. Although custom automatic guided vehicles usually contain one-of-a-kind features, Elettric 80 has the broadest offering of standard LGV types, a fact that minimizes delivery time and cost.

Elettric 80 disputes the erroneous assertion that a manual forklift truck costs less and is easier to maintain…these arguments do not take the complete system into consideration. According to Mikael Renstroem, Marketing Director, Elettric 80, "This comparison is ludicrous. A FLT is a transportation tool driven by a driver, and brings along uncertainties like safety issues, flow optimization issues and risk of damage to both goods, the vehicle itself and everything around it."

Over the last ten years, Elettric 80 has successfully developed a systematic approach to automate complete material flows with laser guided vehicles (LGVs).

Elettric 80 has developed a process to achieve optimal goods flow designs, ingenious yet simple interfaces, integration to existing FLT systems and processes, such as order picking , shipping and receiving, and above all - optimal usage of the warehouse space available. All of these solutions are implemented in conjunction with Elettric80s SMART WMS solution that seamlessly interfaces to the client's existing software system.

In an automated system LGVs run at 99% availability in 24/7 operations; levels never achieved in manual environments. This comparison makes the manual FLT resemble a dinosaur, not designed for maximum productivity.

Elettric 80 is a global provider of end-of-line automation solutions designed to increase operational efficiency for high volume Consumer Products manufactures. These solutions called Freeway® are a highly flexible material handling system.

The Freeway material handling system is based on a simple concept:

• Robotic palletising cells handle goods at the end of the production line

• LGVs transport pallets to stretch wrapping and labelling

• LGVs transport finished pallets to the warehouse

• A WMS software integrates fully into existing customer ERP/system and runs the automated system The technologies are highly adaptable and have a degree of built-in flexibility making them suitable for any plant layout or design. These progressive, fully automated solutions substantiate why Elettric 80 question the traditional FLTs.

The key strength of Elettric 80 lies in the company's concept Freeway. A highly flexible system for material handling using palletizing robots and laser automated guided vehicles (LGV/AGV), high speed wrappers (Silkworm) and a pallet control system, that links to a state-of-the-art WMS (Warehouse Management System).

A WMS is the brain of the automation system. It keeps track of the overall performance of the system, and if required the inventory and data tracking of goods.

A WMS is usually designed to identify product location, quantity, size, and order information to determine where to stock, where to pick, and in what sequence to perform these operations. In effect, it monitors and guides the complete end-of-line automation process.

LGVs / AGVs / SGVs
A LGV physically moves the goods and acts as the link between the different machines within the warehouse environment. The vehicle combines many different systems to ensure reliability and efficiency, including Energy, Safety, Fork/load handling and Guidance and Control systems. LGV is also known as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) or Self Guided Vehicles (SGV).

Elettric 80 is a global provider of end-of-line automation solutions designed to increase operational efficiency for high volume Consumer Products manufactures.

Elettric 80 Asks Why Use Manual Forklift trucks

Skokie, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/09/2011 -- Elettric 80 disputes the erroneous assertion that a manual forklift truck costs less and is easier to maintain…these arguments do not take the complete system into consideration. According to Mikael Renstroem, Marketing Director, Elettric 80, "This comparison is ludicrous. A FLT is a transportation tool driven by a driver, and brings along uncertainties like safety issues, flow optimization issues and risk of damage to both goods, the vehicle itself and everything around it."

Over the last ten years, Elettric 80 has successfully developed a systematic approach to automate complete material flows with laser guided vehicles (LGVs).

Elettric 80 has developed a process to achieve optimal goods flow designs, ingenious yet simple interfaces, integration to existing FLT systems and processes, such as order picking , shipping and receiving, and above all - optimal usage of the warehouse space available. All of these solutions are implemented in conjunction with Elettric80s SMART WMS solution that seamlessly interfaces to the client's existing software system.

In an automated system LGVs run at 99% availability in 24/7 operations; levels never achieved in manual environments. This comparison makes the manual FLT resemble a dinosaur, not designed for maximum productivity.

Elettric 80 is unique in the material handling industry because of the substantial investment in developing a "standard" product line. Although custom automatic guided vehicles usually contain one-of-a-kind features, Elettric 80 has the broadest offering of standard LGV types, a fact that minimizes delivery time and cost.

Elettric 80 is a global provider of end-of-line automation solutions designed to increase operational efficiency for high volume Consumer Products manufactures. These solutions called Freeway® are a highly flexible material handling system.

The Freeway material handling system is based on a simple concept:

• Robotic palletising cells handle goods at the end of the production line

• LGVs transport pallets to stretch wrapping and labelling

• LGVs transport finished pallets to the warehouse

• A WMS software integrates fully into existing customer ERP/system and runs the automated system

The technologies are highly adaptable and have a degree of built-in flexibility making them suitable for any plant layout or design. These progressive, fully automated solutions substantiate why Elettric 80 question the traditional FLTs.

Elettric 80 is a global provider of end-of-line automation solutions designed to increase operational efficiency for high volume Consumer Products manufactures. These solutions called Freeway are a highly flexible material handling system. The technologies are adaptable and have a degree of built-in flexibility making them suitable for any plant layout or design. With the addition of Warehouse Optimizer (WO) the Freeway system easily extends into the warehouse utilizing Laser Guided Vehicles (LGVs) for Storage & Retrieval System (SRS) and Auto-Trailer Loading (ATL), providing flexible automation solution for the overall end-of line production and warehouse.

In the article Cutler notes, "The drive to improve operational efficiencies is part of lean manufacturing and distribution and operational efficiencies. The need for flexibility to accommodate changes in the production cycles along with the constant requirement to achieve higher safety standards drives the push for plant modernization." According the Elettric 80 President, Enrico Grassi, "Palletizing robots, laser guided vehicles (LGVs), stretch wrappers, product tracking software and labeling machines have never been used in tandem before. We developed FREEWAY as an automation solution. It is based on a simple idea…robotic palletizing cells handle goods at the end of the production line, then LGVs transport the pallets to the stretch wrapping and labeling equipment."
