3D ToF Smart Camera Success Cases
Preventing Warehouse Downtime -
Rack Deformation and Displacement Inspection

Invisible Risks and Maintenance Costs

Warehouse daily operation gradually deforms or displaces the rack structure, and the size and shape of pallets and other storage units highly differ. These factors make it challenging to achieve precise recognition and positioning, and may impact efficiency and even damage goods or cause physical hazards.

Continuous Detection and Automatic Correction to Prevent Downtime or Hazards

Machine vision helps stacker cranes see through the rack structure. The 3D ToF Smart Camera DMV-T can be installed on stacker cranes to capture images and acquire coordinates for positioning with its built-in processors. Combined with Machine Vision Software DIAVision, stacker cranes automatically adjust forks and determine if goods are properly tended. An occurrence of misalignment triggers an alert and stops operation to prevent accidents or hazards.

The DMV-T can also transmit acquired coordinates of the rack position to the warehouse monitoring system to analyze if the racks are tilted, deformed, or displaced, which effectively reduces manpower maintenance costs and enhances safety.
