Here is a real-world example:
For connecting company production facilities (pressure casting, drying, glazing, firing), laser-controlled FTS vehicles are used. The vehicles are equipped such that they are able to drive into still-hot drying chambers in order to unload them, and subsequently to load them back up. The items are located on transport boxes that are labeled with barcodes. The item recognized via the barcode is registered in a central computer, such that it is possible to track where the goods are at all times. One major advantage of the system is also the pre-sorting of the products between the dryer and glazing in order to provide the glazing system with larger batch sizes of the same item. Hence, the overall operations workflow can be organized optimally.
