PLC and automation are two concepts that go hand in hand. And a programmable logic controller PLC has become an indispensable tool for the industrial and technological development of any company. More and more companies are turning to logistics automation in order to achieve higher performance in their warehouses. Faced with a market in constant transformation with shipments within hours and changes in consumer habits robotization provides speed and reliability when moving large volumes of merchandise. What is a PLC A PLC is an industrial computer that fulfills a basic function managing.
Movements of automated warehouse handling equipment such as for example stacker cranes or conveyors . To do this activate and deactivate electrical devices such as signaling beacons relays or motors on each machine. One of the characteristics of PLCs is that they operate in real time that is they can react and activate machine movements in a matter of milliseconds. PLCs are made up of different components basically a CPU the central unit Graphics Design Service that processes the program and stores data related to the system and the modules that allow the physical connection between the industrial computer and the automatic systems that must move. The programmable logic controller also needs hardware and software to interpret the instructions and functions that each machine must perform. through sensors and input devices connected to each machine the PLC processes the data and sends orders to the maintenance equipment.
For example lets imagine that a conveyor automatically moves a pallet to an elevator. When the sensor detects the product the PLC will order the transfer of the pallet to the elevator and its subsequent transfer to the corresponding level. By digitizing and automating all merchandise movements the PLC can also monitor and keep track of data in real time such as operating temperature or machine performance. PLCs activate the movements of the warehouses automated handling equipment PLCs activate the movements.
