The invention proposes a dynamic storage rack unit for providing material in logistics and/or manufacturing processes, having a plurality of storage rack compartments () inclined in the longitudinal direction, each storage rack compartment () being designed to accommodate a plurality of material containers () arranged beside one another in the longitudinal direction, storage rack compartments () each having a plurality of sensors () for monitoring the filling level of the respective storage rack compartment (), a distance (A) which corresponds substantially to the length of the material containers () to be accommodated in the storage rack compartment () being provided in the longitudinal direction between sensors () of the respective storage rack compartment (), storage rack compartments () each having at least one state display apparatus () for displaying the state and/or filling level of the respective storage rack compartment (), which unit at least partially improves the disadvantages of the prior art. According to the invention, this is achieved by virtue of the fact that storage rack compartments () each comprise at least one compartment checking unit () for checking the respective sensors () of the respective storage rack compartment (), the compartment checking units () each being in the form of energy and data transmission units () for supplying the respective sensors () of the respective storage rack compartment () with electrical energy and for acquiring, receiving and transmitting sensor data from the respective sensors () of the respective storage rack compartment (), at least one storage rack checking unit () for checking a plurality of compartment checking units () of the storage rack compartments () being provided, the at least one storage rack checking unit () being designed to supply the plurality of compartment checking units () of the respective storage rack compartments () with electrical energy and to acquire, receive and transmit data from the plurality of compartment checking units () of the respective storage rack compartments (), at least one central checking unit () for checking the at least one storage rack checking unit () being provided, the central checking unit () being designed to acquire, receive and transmit data from the at least one storage rack checking unit ().

Dynamic storage rack unit for providing material in logistics and manufacturing processes

The invention proposes an optical signaling device, in particular a signaling lamp or a modular signaling column () or the like, having at least one luminous unit () comprising at least one luminous element () for optically indicating one or more different operating states of a technical device such as a machine, an installation or the like, at least one electrical and/or electronic connection unit () being provided for the purpose of connecting or making contact with at least the technical device, at least one electrical and/or electronic linking unit () being provided between the connection unit () and the luminous unit () for the purpose of electrically and/or electronically linking the connection unit () to the luminous unit (), thus implementing additional technical possibilities or functionalities. This is achieved according to the invention by virtue of the fact that the linking unit () has at least one electrical and/or electronic switching element () for establishing and/or disconnecting the electrical and/or electronic link between the luminous unit () and the connection unit (), the electrical and/or electronic switching element () also being in the form of an actuator switch () for switching at least one actuating element () of a first actuator () of the technical device and/or a second actuator () which is separate from the technical device.

Optical signaling device

An operating status warning lamp apparatus for visually indicating at least one operating status or a plurality of different operating statuses for a technical appliance such as a machine, an installation, a vehicle or the like having at least one warning lamp unit (), wherein the warning lamp unit () has at least one warning lamp element () for producing warning light (), wherein the warning lamp unit () has a radiating element (), having at least one warning lamp radiating area (), for radiating the warning light (), wherein the radiating element () has at least one end face () oriented transversely with respect to the warning lamp radiating area (), is proposed that can be produced without great design involvement, at reasonable cost and using new layout options. The invention achieves this in that the warning lamp element () is arranged on the end face () for the purpose of coupling the warning light () into the radiating element () and in that the radiating element () has scattering means () for scattering the warning light (), as result of which the warning light () enters the radiating element () via the end face () and can be deflected to the warning lamp radiating area ().

Operating status warning lamp apparatus

An operating state warning device () for visually and/or audibly indicating at least one operating state or, respectively, a number of different operating states of a technical device such as a machine, an installation, a vehicle or the like having at least one visual and/or audible warning element (), wherein at least one adjusting unit () for setting and/or adapting at least one operating parameter of the warning element () such as lighting color, color intensity, luminous image, volume, melody, tone sequence or the like is provided, wherein the adjusting unit () comprises at least one interface () for receiving setting information of the operating parameter, is proposed for improving the configuration or the setting of such devices. According to the invention, this is achieved by the fact that the interface () of the adjusting unit () is designed as a wave receiver () for receiving waves as wireless setting information of the operating parameters.

Operating state warning device

A warning light device having a first warning lamp exhibiting at least one first light unit with at least one first lighting element for visually indicating at least one operating state of a first technical unit having a first electronic control device and having at least one indicating unit for visually indicating at least one operating state, especially several different operating states of the first warning lamp, wherein at least one electronic warning lamp connection is provided for transmitting data and/or control signals at least between the first warning lamp and the indicating unit to provide for the monitoring of several different technical units with considerably less expenditure than in the prior art. This is achieved by the fact the indicating unit is constructed as signaling column having at least one second alternating module with at least one second lighting element.

Warning light device having at least two warning lamps

A warning light device having a first warning lamp () having at least one first light unit () with at least one first lighting element for visually indicating at least one operating state of a first technical unit () for a first electronic control device () and at least one second warning lamp () having at least one second light unit () with at least one second lighting element for visually indicating at least one operating state of a second technical unit () for a second electronic control device () wherein an electronic equipment connection () is provided for transmitting data and/or control signals between the technical units. This is achieved by having at least one electronic warning lamp connection () for transmitting data and/or control signals between the at least two warning lamps () with the electronic warning lamp connection () having at least one transmitter and/or receiver () for the wireless control signal and/or data transmission.
