Optimizing efficiency in material handling, picking, and AMR systems. Our robust tool changers, drives, and sensors support fast, reliable automation across modern logistics and fulfillment centers.
Warehouse Automation Technology
Compact Integration for Warehouse Robotics
Space is at a premium in modern warehouses. Our servo drives and frameless motors are designed for compact integration within AMRs, AGVs, and robotic picking systems. With optimized geometries and high torque density, these components enable modular designs that maximize payload capacity, simplify wiring, and improve overall efficiency.
Real-Time Force Sensing for Safer Warehouse Automation
Accurate feedback enables safer, more intelligent automation. Our multi-axis force/torque sensors provide real-time load data that allows robotic systems to adapt to variable payloads and unpredictable contact. This responsiveness ensures smooth, compliant motion that protects both products and people.
Smooth Motion for Robotic Picking Systems
Precision motion control is essential for reliable picking, sorting, and transport. Our low-cogging motor technology ensures smooth and stable performance, even at low speeds or during frequent direction changes. This level of control enhances accuracy, reduces vibration, and improves product handling throughout the automation process.
Precision Encoders for High-Throughput Logistics
Every movement counts in high-throughput environments. Our encoders deliver high-resolution position and speed feedback, ensuring precise coordination across multiple axes. Designed for durability and resistance to vibration, they maintain accuracy in fast-paced, high-demand warehouse conditions.
Thermal Stability for 24/7 Warehouse Operations
Warehouses run nonstop; your automation should too. Our motion systems are engineered for consistent thermal performance under heavy loads, maintaining reliability during extended duty cycles. Optimized heat dissipation allows for continuous operation, ensuring uptime and throughput across demanding environments.
Certified Safety for Shared Warehouse Workspaces
Safety is critical in shared workspaces. Our Safe Drives combine FSoE with advanced EtherCAT based safety functions to ensure precise, reliable protection in automated warehouse environments.
They simplify safety architecture while boosting throughput, flexibility, and compliance
Challenges in Warehouse Logistics & Automation
Warehouse operations around the world are facing increasing pressure to do more with less. Labor shortages, increasing order volumes, and rising customer expectations are redefining what efficiency means. Automation is becoming the answer, but not without challenges. Systems must operate seamlessly in unpredictable environments, handle diverse product types, and maintain round-the-clock reliability. For many, the goal isn’t just to automate tasks, it’s to create a smarter, safer, and more resilient operation that keeps pace with demand and drives long-term growth.
