With the increasing automation of
warehouse processes, the need to intel-
ligently control the material flow and
continuously measure and evaluate per-
formance data from the warehouse also
increases. This way, optimization can be
determined so the integrated convey-
or technology is efficiently used and all
system components harmonize perfectly
with each other. Controlling the entire
material flow and the constant further
development of all measurement and
control technology are Thomas Knecht-
ges and his LFS.mfc team’s tasks. Togeth-
er, they help existing and new customers
save money and design the warehouse
processes as transparently as possible.
LFS.mfc has an open interface and can
therefore be connected to all common
warehouse management systems. This
makes the solution suitable for new
customer projects as well as modern-
izations. It can be used centrally or lo-
cally, regardless of the databases and
platforms. The users obtain transparen-
cy via the visualization of all warehouse
reports, including a zoom function. The
material flow controller is optimally de-
signed, of course, for LFS. Thus, if need-
ed, a strong overall package is available.
“Our material flow controller can be
connected regardless of the manufactur-
er. That means: Regardless of which con-
veyor technology is in use, LFS.mfc con-
nects all of the components with each
other and provides the perfect overview,”
emphasizes Thomas Knechtges, who has
worked for E+P for 13 years. He adds, “It
is important that our solutions are ad-
aptable to a customer’s unique processes.
Ultimately, the flow of materials is differ-
ent in every warehouse.”
