Optimization of stacker control system based on laser ranging and bar code localizing technology

The target goods location of some stackers is realized by the recognition site piece. The point-to-point communication mode is used, such as infrared communication, leading to low localizing precision, reliability and poor scalability. To overcome the above shortcomings, taking a logistic laboratory’s stacker of university for example, the original control system is improved by laser ranging, barcode localizing technology and industrial wireless Ethernet technology. Results show that the running reliability and repeat localizing accuracy of the stacker is improved obviously.
