Pallet Control HMI for the distillery warehouse

Real-time warehouse management by Human-Machine Interface

For large distilleries that produce a variety of alcoholic beverages, managing the warehouses and
logistics is a challenging task; in such a fast-paced workplace, executives turn to Human-Machine
Interface (HMI) for more efficient management. The HMIs enable the visualization of the warehouse
operation status, and the workers can quickly identify the location of the pallets and ensure pick up
the right goods and drop them off at the correct locations with connected tags and sensors.

Challenges

The customer was looking for a 21.5-inch all-in-one touch panel PC to build a Human-Machine
Interface for pallet control in distilleries and warehouses. The industrial-grade panel PC has to support
the high-performance Intel® Core™ processor and be equipped with a multi-touch projected
capacitive widescreen. Since the touch panel PC is used for alcoholic beverage processing, an IP65-
rated front bezel is required to protect screens from liquid splashes. Moreover, it needs to support
a panel mount for seamless integration into the forklifts.

Main Requirements

• 21.5" FHD 1920x1080 TFT LCD panel with multi-touch


• Fanless design with high-performance Intel® CoreTM processor
• High quality and product long life cycle
• IP65/NEMA 4-rated front bezel for harsh environments
• Supports panel mount

The heavy-duty touch panel PC ensures stable operation in the warehouse

Axiomtek has proposed its GOT321W-521, a 21.5-inch multi-touch FHD TFT expandable panel
computer, powered by the Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processor, Intel® Pentium® Gold or Celeron®
processor with the Intel® H310 chipset. The slim-type industrial panel PC adopts an FHD TFT LCD
display with 10-point multi-touch, 250 nits brightness, and 178°/178° wide-viewing angle. It also
scales with IP65/NEMA 4-rated protection against water and dust. The rugged touch panel PC features
rich I/O including four USB ports, two LAN ports and two COM ports. With an M.2 Key E slot, the panel
PC can connect with other field-site devices to receive real-time data.

Application
Real-time pallet management via a Human-Machine Interface

One of the most pain points in warehousing is finding the location of finished goods that have been
stored in the warehouses. In this solution, the customer installed the tag sensors, antenna and
Axiomtek’s 21.5-inch high-performance GOT321W-521 on the forklifts to identify different pallet tags.
Through the pallet control HMI, the operators can easily identify a pallet storage location and pick it
up or drop it off at the designated location. Meanwhile, it will also send the inventory data back to
the monitoring center. Overall, the solution optimizes inventory management and makes the work of
forklift operators more efficient. It speeds up the delivery to distributors and helps increase profits.
