AFT – COMPUTER CONTROLLED SYSTEMS

PC Based Control System

AFT provides PC based computers at the end of each aisle, (programmed with windows NT or Windows 2000) for inventory control of every pallet in the racks. These End of Aisle Controllers provide complete automated operation by themselves or can be interfaced to centralized warehouse computer systems.

Each of our individual Automated Storage and Retrieval Material Handling Systems (AS/RS) are directly controlled by an "off the shelf" IBM® compatible Personal Computer running Windows NT®. The PC communicates to our Automated Storage and Retrieval Material Handling System (AS/RS) via an Infrared Duplex light beam. It is virtually "noise free" compared to slide wire systems and more reliable than festoon wire systems.
