Smart Pallet System

At the University of Auckland’s infoMechatronics Lab FORTE has been applied to the wireless version of the Digi Connect module (the Digi ConnectWE). This wireless control module controls the functionality of mobile production re-sources like a pallet of a transport system. They used a pallet that is capable of storing several liquids on one pallet. In order to achieve this, the wireless control module interacts with the filling station providing the liquids and with the transport system signaling when the pallet is ready to be filled or when it is ready to move on. This showcase demonstrates how FORTE and IEC 61499 helps to improve the interaction between different production resources.
