With load-oriented control for storage and retrieval machines, speed and acceleration/deceleration are not constantly maintained at maximum values. Instead, these values are dynamically adjusted based on the load on the system. This lowers energy consumption and reduces mechanical wear.

The control is based on continuous monitoring of the load on the storage and retrieval machine. When the system is lightly loaded, speed and acceleration can be increased to boost efficiency. However, when the load is higher, the values are automatically reduced to avoid overloading and extend the service life of the device.

This approach offers several advantages. Firstly, the dynamic adjustment of speed and acceleration leads to a more efficient use of energy, as the system only uses the power it needs. Secondly, mechanical wear is minimized as the stacker crane is not constantly working under maximum load.

By reducing energy consumption and mechanical wear, companies can cut operating costs and extend the service life of their stacker cranes. In addition, load-oriented control contributes to a more sustainable operation by reducing resource consumption and environmental impact.

Overall, load-oriented control is an effective strategy for optimizing stacker cranes in warehouse and logistics environments. By dynamically adapting speed and acceleration to the respective load, companies can increase their efficiency and reduce their operating costs at the same time.
