在家具製造商的生產應用中要求提供零部件
Call for Parts at a Furniture Manufacturer
Challenge
A furniture manufacturer has four manufacturing lines: red, green, blue, and yellow. When a line is in need of parts, one of the operators flips a switch that turns on that line’s color on a light tower located centrally in the warehouse. One of the two forklift operators notices the signal light tower and retrieves parts for that line.
This is a large facility and the forklift trucks are mobile, making a wired solution impossible. The customer is also looking for a solution that is easy to install and maintain.
The customer needs a solution that can increase the forklift operator's response time by putting the indicators on the forklift's dashboard and can also allow the forklift operator to acknowledge the request, which eliminates redundant part deliveries by multiple operators.
Solution
The notification system for each line consists of a K50 Illuminated touch button, a K30 Illuminated touch button, a color position on a signal tower light, one PM8 Gateway, and two PM8L Nodes.
The operator requests parts by touching the K50. This turns on the K50, the K30 in the fork lift cab, and the signal tower light line’s color. The fork lift operator acknowledges the request by touching the K30 mounted in the fork lift, turning off all the lights.
The operators see their request has been received. The K30, K50, and tower light are all tied together with Banner’s Sure Cross PM series radios; there is no need for an external logic device. The logic, latch input with a reset line, is built into the K50 light.

解決方案
每條線的通知系統包括一個K50照明觸控按鈕、一個K30照明觸控按鈕，信號塔燈上的一個彩燈位置、一個PM8閘道和兩個PM8L節點。
操作人員透過觸控K50來請求零部件。這將打開K50、堆高機駕駛室中的K30以及信號塔的對應顏色燈。堆高機操作人員透過觸摸安裝在叉車上的K30來確認要求，同時關閉所有的燈。
操作人員看到自己的請求被接受。K30、K50和塔燈均與Banner的SureCross PM系列無線電連接在一起；不需要外部邏輯裝置。具有重置線的邏輯鎖存輸入裝置內置於K50燈中。
