Système logistique antidéflagrant pour l'industrie chimique BASF
Vue d'ensemble
Cette analyse de cas détaille une heavy-duty explosion-proof smart logistics system customized for BASF, the global chemical giant.
The solution centers around a 13.5-meter-high, 2000 kg capacity heavy-duty lift and includes 14 supporting automated conveyor units.
It is specifically engineered to meet the chemical industry’s stringent requirements for explosion-proofing, corrosion resistance, and material compatibility, enabling fully automated, intelligent transfer of 1.1m standard pallets between raw material warehouses, production workshops, and finished product storage areas.

Comment ça marche
The system operates with the heavy-duty Z-type lift as its core hub, isolated at each floor by 3-layer PVC rapid roller doors.
AGVs transport pallets loaded with chemical raw materials into the lift car, where a light curtain system automatically checks cargo dimensions.
The lift travels at 30 m/min, auto-levels, and accurately docks.
A suite of 14 supporting equipment—including rotating roller conveyors and lifting roller conveyors—then takes over to receive, rotate (90°), lift, transfer, and sort pallets, finally delivering them to designated chemical production areas.
Les défis
The logistics system for BASF faced extreme challenges specific to the chemical industry:
- Safety & Explosion-Proofing: Strict prohibition of components with fire hazards like buzzers over 15W.
- Material Restrictions: All exposed parts, moving components, and paints must be Zinc and Copper-Free to prevent reactions with chemicals.
- Ultra-High Reliability: Requirement for multiple redundant safety guarantees including active power-off braking, safety gears, and buffers—absolute fail-safe operation.
- Automation Integration: Need for seamless integration with AGV systems for fully automated, unmanned operation, minimizing human intervention.
- Data Traceability: The OS must record over 30,000 exportable data entries to meet stringent audit and traceability requirements.
Solutions
- Chemical Compliance Design: Full system utilizes 304/316 stainless steel and Q235B powder-coated structures, completely eliminating copper and zinc elements, meeting BASF’s material specifications.
- Comprehensive Safety: Safety gear + polyurethane buffers + light curtain detection + three-color beacon alarm form multiple mechanical and electrical safety barriers.
- Premium Brand Assurance: Core components (Siemens PLC, ABB inverter) and sensors (Omron) ensure system reliability in harsh environments.
- Smart Logistics Synergy: The PLC and HMI system intelligently coordinate the lift and 14 conveyors for automatic docking and precise transfer with AGVs.
- Digital Management: Genuine operating system with three-level password access and extensive data logging fulfills the chemical industry’s strict traceability demands.
