Drive Technology for Warehouse Logistics

Automated warehouses place high demands on their drive systems, requiring safe, reliable operation, intelligent integration, and minimal downtime. NORD’s reliable drive technology meets the demands of the warehouse logistics industry.

Drive Solutions for Warehouse Logistics

Choosing the right drive components is crucial for the efficiency and safety of your warehouse conveyor systems. With years of experience in drive design, NORD undersrsands the key factors for success. Our broad product range includes both standard and high-efficiency options, guaranteeing optimal system uptime. By offering customized drive solutions, we help you minimize variants and achieve significant energy savings. Ultimately, NORD drives deliver increased performance and lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for any application.

Efficient Warehouse Automation

We offer the perfect drive solution for any warehouse conveyor system, from chain and roller conveyors to pallet, container, and overhead systems. NORD's drive systems are highly reliable, long-lasting, and require minimal maintenance. Their compact design allows for quick installation and easy operation all while prioritizing variant reduction and are certified for global use.

Conveyor Drives for Warehouse Logistics

  • High operational reliability
  • Variant reduction
  • Modular, flexible options
  • Compact design for small installation spaces
  • Large selection of centralized and decentralized solutions
  • User friendly
  • Plug-and-Play capabilities
  • Excellent price/performance ratio

Economic Drive Solutions for End-of-Line Packaging

In many end-of-line packaging applications, centrally-controlled drives with servo motors are commonly used. However, in applications with large inertia or long movement distances – for example palletizing, stabilizing, or handling – they are usually not mandatory. Decentralized solutions with controlled asynchronous motors, are an efficient and economic alternative in this context. You can achieve significant cost savings with NORD's modular drive concepts that are tailored to your specific application requirements.

Setting Things In Motion

For warehouse conveyor systems, NORD provides compact, space-saving solutions that meet the highest standards of reliability and cost-effectiveness. Designed for easy service and maintenance, our drives can handle heavy loads and ensure smooth operation. This is especially beneficial for roller, chain, and corner transfer conveyors..

A Superior Conveyor Drive Solution

Our conveyor drives are ideally suitable for a wide range of conveyors, including:

Roller Conveyors

  • Control and adjust drive speed while on the line
  • Control distances and accumulation of packing units in a precise, dynamic way
  • Standardized solutions reduce inventory and maintenance costs

Chain Conveyors

  • Robust gear units transport heavy loads safely and efficiently
  • Long service life in both double and single line configurations
  • High overload capacity

Corner Transfer Conveyor

  • Smoothly change load direction with electronic controls
  • Control rollers and chains with a power turn conveyor system
  • High output torque and high system efficiency

Low-Cost, Flexible Decentralized Drives

NORD's adaptable decentralized variable frequency drives integrate seamlessly into any system. With many mounting options and easy installation, NORD drives are compatible with all common bus systems and controls. Built-in PLCs, standard plug connectors, and a modular design ensure a fit to any warehouse logistics application.
