Home » Paper Roll Logistics Automation – People-Free Intralogistics
At its Mainz site, WEPA decided to automate the intralogistics process for mother reels using AGVs. This “people-free” operation presented a critical challenge: mother reels needed to be identified reliably and automatically from any direction by both the AGV system and the converting machines. Such precision was essential for seamless logistics automation and complete production traceability in an environment without human oversight.
The RFID and AGV integration resulted in fully automated paper roll logistics at WEPA’s Mainz site, eliminating human intervention in the warehouse. This advanced system ensures continuous, reliable identification of mother reels throughout the intralogistics process and enables automated traceability on the converting machines.
WEPA implemented a solution based on Turck Vilant RFID readers and software, combined with Sonoco Alcore’s Intellicore UHF RFID-equipped paper cores:
