MFC (Material Flow Control)

Material Flow Control

Software layer that routes and coordinates material-handling equipment and transport missions in automated logistics.

Examples

  1. 01The MFC sends transport orders to 12 automated guided vehicles and decides which vehicle takes which pallet to which station.
  2. 02Before go-live, the team tests MFC routing rules with peak volumes and checks the interface to the warehouse system.
  3. 03MFC logs show that one crossing causes most AGV waiting, so the route is changed and travel time falls by 15 %.
