BEUMER Group software controls is used for system-wide optimisation. The ability to combine precise control of individual machines, with system-wide visibility of work flows, allows the system to be continually optimised to avoid bottlenecks and achieve faster throughput and higher productivity.

BEUMER Group’s software system integrates three levels of controls:

• Embedded software on the controller boards for each sorter
• BEUMER Group Machine Controller system to keep track of items on the sorters including scanning information and sort positions
• BEUMER Group System Controller to adjust and optimise the sortation process for each individual sorter.

The system control can integrate with

• SCADA
• PLC controlled conveyors
• Barcode scanners
• Line sorters
• Conveyor belts
• Automatic print and apply stations

and seamlessly interface to bespoke WMS through a warehouse control system.
