Secure, flexible control for warehouse automation

Our gateway systems connect warehouse automation devices directly to any WMS, bringing real-time equipment data into a single operational view. Built on leading global hardware platforms—including Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, SEW, ABB, Leuze and SICK—our flexible control software adapts to the specific needs of each site.

Advanced diagnostics simplify fault detection, while robust industrial networking, cybersecurity, and remote maintenance capabilities support reliable, secure operation. Designed by TÜV SÜD certified Functional Safety Engineers, our systems are assessed for performance level (PL) or safety integrity levels (SIL) according to EN-ISO 13849-1 and EN (IEC) 62061 safety norms to help protect people, equipment and operations.

Intelligent control for high-density material flow

Our narrow aisle crane control systems are designed to keep high-density storage operations running safely and efficiently. Built-in intelligence recognizes minor or false faults and automatically restarts operations to minimize downtime, while comprehensive diagnostics guide maintenance teams directly to the issue. Flexible software supports both high-bay and low-bay environments and allows users to perform manual moves or remotely monitor crane activity without entering aisles or working at height.

Our conveyor control software automatically moves goods along predefined routes using your chosen equipment, delivering smooth, reliable material flow across the warehouse. Advanced diagnostics and fault reporting simplify issue detection, while highly flexible control software adapts to any hardware configuration and site requirement—helping improve performance and maintain full operational control.
