Roller conveyors

• Roller conveyors are critical for the continuous transport of goods in the facility
• direct FMS controls roller conveyors based on flow, capacity and prioritisation
• Integrates with sensors and scanning equipment for monitoring
• WCS-controlled transport between locations and zones
• Real-time communication with PLCs

AMS AS has extensive experience integrating roller conveyors into warehouse and transport solutions. direct FMS is a Warehouse Control System that controls transport on roller conveyors based on demand in the material flow and coordinates transport between different parts of the facility.

Roller conveyors enable efficient material flow

Roller conveyors are used where continuous transport is required between zones, storage and handling points. By allowing transport lines to handle the movement of goods and equipment, operators can focus on their tasks.

Varer flyttes gjennom anlegget, samtidig som sensorer og lesere identifiserer og sporer varer underveis i transporten.

direct FMS controls conveyors in real time

direct FMS controls and monitors roller conveyors in real time. The system communicates directly with conveyor PLCs and ensures that transport occurs in the correct sequence, within available capacity.

When capacity becomes available further along the flow, the next item is automatically released, and movements are coordinated with the rest of the transport system. This reduces accumulation and unnecessary waiting.

Seamless integration and coordinated operation

Units can be equipped with sensors, readers and labelling equipment, all controlled by direct FMS. Goods are identified during transport, and the correct item is routed to the correct location. By coordinating conveyors with other equipment, a continuous transport flow is achieved without manual handling.

With direct FMS by AMS AS , you get controlled transport on roller conveyors, based on material flow and capacity, resulting in better utilisation and more predictable operation.
