Warehousing
Automated storage and retrieval warehouse systems are an
essential component in modern logistics. Supermarkets,
manufacturers, import and export companies and general logistics
companies require vast storage capability to service their
customers. Our drives are used extensively in warehouse crane
systems across the world.
New control systems for existing cranes
Control Techniques manufacture both AC and DC drive
technologies, allowing us to provide information and advice
regarding the right upgrade strategy for your existing
cranes. In many cases, retaining the existing DC motor and
upgrading the drive system using Mentor DC drives provides the
simplest and most cost effective upgrade path and reduces downtime
during the installation.
