PUMA opened a new European central warehouse in April 2021. The centerpiece is the shuttle system with over 700,000 storage locations. 24 lifters ensure the correct allocation of the shuttles. Like all other components of the intralogistics system, the lifters communicate with the higher-level controller via PROFINET.
Alongside development of the IO-Link Safety specification, technology provider companies have implemented testing systems for FS masters and FS devices, thereby ensuring a high level of maturity of test specification V1.1. Interop Workshops are planned for June 30 and October 20, 2022.
