Material Handling: Shipping and Receiving

Shippin Receiving Hero

Shipping and Receiving Automation

Banner Engineering supports shipping and receiving operations by providing products and solutions for vehicle detection, dock door identification and control, area and equipment illumination, as well as visual, audible and wireless communication

We have an extensive catalog of sensors, LED lights and indicators, safety equipment, and wireless products that improve operational efficiency and accuracy and help protect personnel. From all-weather sensors that detect vehicle presence and position at the dock to high visibility LED indicators with audible that provide status indication on equipment or alert personnel to hazards, Banner Engineering supports shipping and receiving operations at every step. 

Applications

Condition Monitoring on Conveyors
Condition Monitoring on Conveyors

Banner’s wireless solutions can have multiple gateways tied to respective nodes, allowing for elimination of all wires and providing flexible mounting options. The wireless structure of gateways and nodes are responsible for communicating the critical I/O throughout the facility. Even with multiple wireless products, the wireless communication system is efficient and has no cross talk interference and does not interfere with the IT department.

Wireless Forklift Signaling
Wireless Forklift Signaling

Banner’s Q45 wireless call sensor communicates to a wireless DX80, signaling that forklift drivers can remove the completed pallet for shipping. This helps keep the conveyor clear, keep it moving faster and leads to more productivity. Since forklift drivers are being called to action more quickly, it allows for more productivity.
