Material handling systems rely on precise motion control. Conveying, automated storage and retrieval and other warehouse automation, require some degree of transport and storage of materials, components, assemblies, and finished goods. These activities can be classified as material handling and often take place in warehouses or distribution centers.

Encoders provide speed, position, and direction feedback for material handling applications.

As labor pressures and energy costs rise, warehouses and distribution centers are turning to automation to drive productivity, accuracy, and uptime.  From high-speed conveyors to AS/RS systems and AGVs, performance depends on precise, real-time motion feedback.

Encoders provide the motion intelligence that drives precision in material handling.

Both automated and operator-controlled material handling equipment rely on encoder feedback to keep motion safe and efficient. Spanning numerous industries, common material handling functions include conveying, warehousing, and heavy lifting.
