WSNet Call Button

The radio-based WSNet Call Button SLC 200 enables a fast and error-free material request for a large load carrier (LLC), at the press of a button.

The SLC 200 submits the request directly to a WSNet gateway GLC 100E by means of its integrated WSNet radio modem. Instantly, WSN’s AMS eKanban system forwards the request to the ERP system. This results in a significantly higher efficiency compared to conventional Kanban work flows.

Thanks to the graphical, high-contrast and power-saving e-paper display of the SLC 200, many status information can be displayed visually. Examples are:

• order status in the ERP system
• alerts and handling instructions
• barcodes and QR codes, for example for material linking by scanner
• Illustration or design drawing of the linked material

The future-oriented LoRa™ wireless technology of the SLC 200 makes theknown problems of WLAN-based systems forget. The device does not occupy an IP address in the LAN’s private address space. In addition, "dead spots" and unstable connections are now finally a thing of the past.

Compared to conventional retrieval systems, the WSNet Call Button SLC 200 offers additional advantages:

• near real-time notification of the demand on the assigned material by pushbutton
• avoiding human failure by means of extensive automation and simple operation
• connection to existing ERP systems via WSN AMS system
• interference-resistant and energy-efficient wireless technology
• high mobility and flexibility thanks to independence from any cable network
• cost-effective installation and maintenance
• high range up to 1,000 m within buildings
• battery change in a few seconds by means of hinge mechanism (screwless)
• battery life up to 12 months
• highly scalable up to several hundred monitored LLC locations

Due to its robust and dust-tight housing, the Call Button SLC 200 can even be used in harsh industrial environments.
