In the construction of modern intelligent logistics center, fast and stable data transmission is the core of efficient operation of logistics center, whether it is the running status of various logistics equipment such as conveyor, sorter, stacker in automated warehouse, shuttle car, or the status information of goods and even environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity. It is necessary to realize system acquisition, analysis and control processing through signal data transmission between various sensors and actuators, especially between equipment motors. Industrial connection expert Weidmuller has provided SAI connection solutions to meet the individual needs of a well-known domestic logistics integrator, which is widely used in the logistics center system projects in the garment, pharmaceutical and other industries.

FC-SCNT01 Project challenge

In order to better complete the logistics center system project for multiple industries, especially the critical electrical automation part, the customer wanted to choose a reliable SAI connection solution to ensure the transmission of data signals for drive equipment such as motors, but the problems it faced included:
• The communication transmission is unstable, affecting the operation of the device

The connection between the connector and the motor is easily loosened and disconnected, resulting in network interruption, unstable communication transmission, and affecting the normal operation of the equipment.
• Connector cables are messy and complex, and cannot meet tight delivery times

Because ordinary connectors require a large number of supporting cables, cables are often confused, twisted or damaged. This makes the whole project installation and commissioning process complicated and cumbersome, which requires a lot of time and is difficult to meet the tight project delivery requirements.

solution

Weidmuller provides a flexible, efficient, secure and reliable SAI connection solution for the communication interface connection of industrial motors in the field for customer logistics center system projects.

• All metal screw connection to ensure stable and reliable connection

The all-metal screw connection method can effectively prevent the problem of connector loosening and poor contact, and ensure the stability and reliability of the connection.
• Integrated design, no cable required

Due to the integrated design of cable and coupling head, forming a whole, the application only needs to insert or connect the connector to the corresponding interface, and no longer needs to match the cable.

FC-SCNT01 Customer benefits

With Weidmuller’s diverse SAI connectivity solutions, the customer has solved the worries of the smart logistics center construction project and achieved:
• Meet the requirements of personalized communication, equipment operation worry-free

The SAI connector used in the project meets the communication requirements of customer D code. The screw connection method ensures that the connector and the motor are firmly connected, ensuring the stability and reliability of the network connection, and the operation of the equipment is wordless.
• Efficient cost reduction, shorten delivery time

Since there is no need for supporting cables, the cable management confusion caused by a large number of supporting cables of ordinary connectors is completely ended, which further improves the installation efficiency, reduces labor costs, and greatly shortens the project delivery time.

Final effect

With the rapid improvement of modern production and the pace of public life, logistics, as a key link between supply and demand, plays an increasingly important role in guaranteeing. In recent years, in order to cope with the explosive logistics needs, highly automated and intelligent handling, warehousing, sorting and distribution systems are becoming the core of the innovative development of the logistics industry and creating new quality productivity. In fact, in addition to SAI connection technology, Weidmuller will bring flexible, convenient, safe and reliable innovation value to more intelligent logistics system providers with a strong set of electrical automation solutions including various connectors, industrial power supplies, I/O, industrial switches and cables.
