Always keep an eye on your inventory with Hänel PictureControl system
The integrated camera system lets you photograph every transaction, every time. For operations that rely on compliance and precision, this lets you inventory changes can easily be tracked to specific users as they occur. The MP14N controller throws these images to a 12" touchscreen or a computer monitor as desired.
What is the Hanel visual operation system?
- An integrated framework that uses visual cues, system feedback and real-time data to guide operators through storage and retrieval
- The system connects the physical movement of trays and carriers with digital instructions that are easy to understand—and hard to misinterpret.
- It provides trackable photographic records of your transactions
PictureControl is a visual picking system that guides operators through storage and retrieval tasks using image-based confirmation at the point of work
When an order or task is initiated, the Hanel system displays a clear image of the target bin, part, or compartment on the control terminal. This image is synchronized with the automatic presentation of the correct tray or carrier, ensuring the operator is looking at the right location before any picking or put-away action occurs. By showing exactly what the operator should see, PictureControl reduces reliance on part numbers, written descriptions, or memory.
As the operators interact with the system, PictureControl provides step-by-step visual confirmation to prevent errors
The displayed images help distinguish between similar-looking parts, mirrored compartments, or densely packed bins—a common source of picking mistakes in high-SKU or high-value environments. Operators confirm their actions directly at the interface, and the system records each transaction in real time. This visual verification is especially valuable when operators do not know in advance which parts they will need, or when tasks change dynamically during a process.
You can see everything on every tray in your carousel with this system, at any point.
Unlike generic visual management tools, Hanel's system is purpose-built for automated storage. Visual guidance is embedded directly into the machine interface, ensuring that instructions are synchronized with system activity. This tight integration reduces reliance on memory, paper instructions, or external supervision, while increasing both speed and accuracy at the workstation.
