Concepts for the energy supply of shuttle systems in logistics warehouses with selective charging in the elevator and in charging stations are on the rise - instead of expensive copper cables.

A wide variety of vehicles are used in production logistics: from transport robots and industrial trucks to conveyor belts, cranes and distribution systems.

The demand for small goods-to-person robots is high, but the energy supply for autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and driverless transport systems is not suitable for large-scale scaling of fleets.

With the help of shuttle vehicles, products can be quickly stored, transferred or retrieved in warehouses so that order picking and dispatch run smoothly.

In addition to the desire for simpler products, Still is registering a growing demand among its customers for automation solutions that can be implemented quickly and are scalable.
Suitable transport structures in intralogistics are a prerequisite in all industries in order to withstand competitive pressure in the future. The basis for this is comprehensive automation, which would be inconceivable without an armada of powerful micromotors.
Where automation is involved, it must be ensured that even in the event of a control or power failure, unintentional movement sequences do not result in hazards or damage. The aim is to protect employees from injury and capital goods from destruction. This is where electromagnetic brakes from Kendrion come into play.

After four days of the trade fair, organizers and exhibitors can draw a positive conclusion of the trade fair, which has almost reached pre-Covid levels again.

With the NG 1000 WO hub gearbox, Dunkermotoren, a brand of Ametek, presents a gearbox for driverless transport systems such as AGVs and AMRs. The abbreviation WO stands for "with Offset" and describes the characteristic offset of the gearbox in relation to the attached motor.
Sumitomo Drive Technologies is presenting its drive solutions for automation and robotics at Automatica 2023 together with the Lafert Group. The company will be showcasing two different applications of the Tuaka drive system for robot applications at its stand.
