Machine controls for material-handling applications

Controls for material-handling and logistics systems in factories and distribution centres must offer high levels of availability and unmatched flexibility. With solutions that are modular in design and can be installed quickly, you can be sure that your products will reliably move through your process.

Modular material-handling systems

Regardless of whether material-handling or conveyor systems are used in airports, warehouses, production lines or gravel plants, they are often the lifeline of your daily operations. Material-handling systems are increasingly complex and subject to frequent changes. We can help you design and build intelligent, modular systems that are easy to operate and service, so that you can keep your promises on product lead times.

Modularity in production logistics and small warehouses

The unmatched advantages of modular material handling systems with distributed control units also apply in smaller installations. The easyE4 controller is ideally suited for this task. In combination with the smart PKE motor starter and a PowerXL DG1 drive, it allows for efficient motor control and the processing of data to reduce system downtime. With the support of our application engineering team and global channel network, the creation of customised systems for your application is an easy task.

Modular systems for baggage handling and high profile warehouses

A modular design of the mechanical elements of the conveyor - the motor, the gearbox and the motor starter or drive - has become standard in material handling systems. Working with leading baggage handling and warehouse companies, our distributed drive and protection technologies deliver luggage and material on time all over the world. Fast and easy implementation, smart communication and easy serviceability help operators around the world keep their systems available.

ErP guidelines update 01/07/2021

With the latest update to EU Regulation 640/2009 on the eco-design of electric motors, IE3 and IE4 motors will become mandatory for certain applications in two stages – by 1 July 2021 and 1 July 2023, respectively. In addition, the scope of the regulation has also been expanded. Our new white paper explains how these requirements can be easily adapted and how this can be used to successfully increase the energy efficiency of the drive system.
