Conveying, positioning, and automation solutions for intralogistics

Everything in motion – what drives logistics systems

Logistics facilities must operate reliably around the clock – whether in warehouse automation, order picking, or material handling systems. Drive technology plays a central role here: it must be reliable, energy-efficient, and flexibly scalable. At the same time, modern logistics systems demand intelligent communication, seamless integration into PLC environments, and compact designs for tight installation spaces.

Compact drives for conveying and automation systems

SPAT® compact drives are the ideal solution for logistics applications where reliability, precision, and space efficiency are essential. Our drives can be installed decentrally and require no additional control cabinet components. Thanks to integrated control electronics, bus capability, and modular design, they can be easily scaled and precisely adapted to specific conveying or positioning tasks.

Flexibility and efficiency for transport, storage, and distribution

Whether for roller conveyors, lifting systems, turntables, or feeding units – SPAT® drives are used wherever precise motion and high availability are required. The drive units integrate seamlessly into modern logistics architectures and support industrial communication standards such as CANopen and EtherCAT. Their robust construction ensures dependable performance even under heavy load cycles and continuous multi-shift operation.
