INTELLIGENT BUILDING INTERFACES MEET INTRALOGISTICS TRAFFIC CONTROL
Smarter Material Flow Through Connected Infrastructure
NAiSE has connected with Wiesemann & Theis GmbH (W&T) to enhance intralogistics by integrating building and infrastructure sensors through W&T’s WebIOs into the NAiSE Traffic Manager. This compatibility transforms doors, gates, traffic lights, and other signal devices into active participants within intralogistics flows, enabling safer and more efficient coordination across transport systems, pedestrians, and vehicles.
About the Integration
In today’s mixed intralogistics environments—where AMRs, AGVs, forklifts, tugger trains, and human operators each move at different speeds and with different tasks—coordinating all actors requires both awareness and control.
With this integration:
- W&T’s WebIOs act as sensor/actuator gateways, linking building infrastructure (e.g., doors, gates, signals) with NAiSE Traffic via the MQTT protocol.
- NAiSE’s Traffic Manager coordinates all participants—autonomous vehicles, manual forklifts, humans—and integrates infrastructure events (gate opening, traffic signal change) from WebIOs.
- The mesh of vehicle, people, and building system management enables holistic traffic control, improving throughput and ensuring safety in complex intralogistics operations.
About NAiSE
