Automated Loading Documentation

The Best of Three Worlds – United for a Common Goal

Systems that integrate three distinct areas within production operations are rare. However, a project by WAGO and TTS Automation showcases how this can be achieved by providing an open control and protocol environment. The project merges IT, process technology, and logistics to maintain efficient, safe, and well-documented loading processes in the logistics sector.

In This Article, You Will Learn:

The role of intelligent industrial cameras and the WAGO IoT Box in loading documentation.
The possibilities for automating the control and loading process of containers.
How the WAGO controller facilitates data protection-compliant documentation.

Innovation Through Cooperation

A Collaboration Between TTS Automation and WAGO

No Empty Trucks

In the logistics sector, the return on investment is directly tied to the capacity utilization of each vehicle. Material flow and shipping must be optimally coordinated. However, many freight companies still rely heavily on manually created processes, which often lead to inefficiencies. This becomes particularly problematic when documenting transport safety. An incorrectly loaded vehicle presents significant risks, including potential legal consequences.

Securely Documented in Compliance with Data Protection Regulations

Until now, there have been no standardized processes for the control and documentation of hazardous goods transport. Manual execution is prone to errors. TTS Automation’s solution intelligently evaluates the loading situation and generates informative images that comply with data protection regulations. One of the major challenges was establishing a connection between the camera, controllers and adjacent systems, which is where WAGO's expertise played a crucial role.
