kfllabs Platforms
The modular and platform concept applies throughout the design, planning, development and construction of the kfllabs components.
Starting with
- the mechanics, which are assembled modularly, scalable and interchangeable, through
- the electrics, which are theme-organised, modular and permutably organised on plug-in mounting plates, as well as
- the various software platforms for e.g.
- sensors, control technology
- Video
- Customs data model-compliant EDI data
- Control centre
- Analyses
The platforms are open, transparent and usable for you as an end customer to increase the effectiveness and quality as well as reduce the costs of your production.
For you as a manufacturer, the platforms can be used to extend the services offered to your customers by integrating their components. We invite you to cooperate with us on an equal footing to advance these platforms as development platforms.

Hardware Platforms Mechanis
mTUBE, mDEPOT as well as our basic platform for conveyor modules are platforms that create a framework for
- standardised quality.
- Manufacturing
- assembly, commissioning
- integration of functional assemblies required for the work processes
- turnkey, prefabricated complete solutions
>> The system is open for the integration of different conveyor elements, sensors, drive technology, scanning technology, video systems, lighting, operating elements, …
How do you benefit from this?
- Shortened development times
- Turnkey modules/plants with integrated components that may go beyond their core competence
- Standardised, certified
- Prefabricated platform solutions for extended services for your customers
- Cost savings
- Great customer benefit
(When integrating electronic components, models with certificate management are preferable to ensure software security).
Hardware Platforms Electrics
Controls, drives, sensors, bus systems, control cabinets –
- Integrated construction
- theme-organised, standardised, plug-in mounting plates with defined interfaces
- Flexible integration, depending on the height of the superstructure, waste heat and EMC protection requirements
- Possibility of integrating standard Rittal enclosures (limited height)
- Separate space for frequency converters > EMC separated
- Space for batteries for UPS – uninterruptible power supply e.g. for mTUBEs in outdoor areas
- Power supply with integrated electricity meter
- Expandable control cabinet system
- Possibility of connecting solar technology integrated into the overall network
- Integrated cable ducts
Your benefits
- Easy maintenance > simple replacement of the complete mounting plate
- Sensor and actuator data accessible in the IT system > Control room data
(When integrating electronic components, models with certificate management are preferable to ensure software security).
Low-Level-Control Software
PLC control, sensor connections, interfaces
Architecture > Event-based into the network, PLC classic
Sensors and actuators in TCP/IP
Use of classic PLC, as well as microcontroller
Close interaction with HLC IT
IEC 61131
What benefits can you derive from this? What can be long-term common goals?
to be continued….
Certified components also for maintenance, scaling, replacement to ensure IT security
High-Level-Control Services
- Do you want to understand liability transfers at incoming- and outgoing goods? > VTT, VDE

- You want to monitor your service level agreements? > VTT, EAD
- You want to be able to precisely track the CO2 footprint of a parcel? > VDE, MTT
- Predictive maintenance is important to you? MTT, VTT, control centre
- Conformity to the customs data model necessary? > VDE, EAD Tracking
- Recording of all events in the supply chain? > EAD, yard logistics, VTT
- Certificate trading according to the green deal? > EAD
- Your data in the plant, on your servers or in the cloud? > your choice
>> kfllabs has different tracking solutions and software platforms ready for you:
Basic approaches of the kfllabs platform services:
- Open and transparent
- High security (>target: zero trust approach)
- Automatic generation of track & trace events to link with service level agreements
- Link consignment ID, comprehensive data collection, tracking events with VAT ID
- Improve transport security, product safety, sustainability, reduce CO2 footprint per shipment/goods
- Event-based software architecture
- Comprehensive control centre functions independent of PLC controllers
- Sensors and actuators in TCP/IP
- Comprehensive data collection of conveyor, consignment, work process, …
The event-based software architecture, also coupled with the availability of sensor data in the IT network, makes it possible to generate a variety of different processes on a sound data basis, decoupled from each other.
