Reliable material handling with maximum productivity

In today’s warehouses and distribution centers, speed, accuracy, and reliability are essential. Operators face constant pressure to move goods faster, reduce handling times, and cut operational costs, all without compromising safety.

 

ABB helps customers solve these challenges with flexible, high-performing motion and control solutions tailored for intralogistics. ABB’s variable speed drives (VSDs), PLCs, and safety technologies keep your systems running smoothly, even under pressure.

 

With built-in functions like position control, anti-pendulum, regenerative braking, and safety modules, our drives and controllers make machines more intelligent, efficient, and reliable. They adapt to light and heavy loads, ensure precision in every movement, and reduce wear and energy use. With our global service and support network, help is always close, wherever your operations are.

 

Whether you're building compact machinery or scaling up a complex automation system, ABB gives you the tools to maximize uptime, minimize energy use, and move with confidence.

Key benefits

Maximize uptime with smooth, uninterrupted operation

Our drives and PLCs ensure your automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) operate smoothly and efficiently, cutting material handling times while maintaining 24/7 performance.

Boost efficiency with intelligent motion control

Speed, precision, and safety are built into ABB’s drive technology. Our variable speed drives (VSDs) and PLCs adapt to both heavy and light loads, optimizing movement across hoists, cranes, lifts, and conveyors.

Cut operating costs with regenerative energy use

The ACS880 wall-mounted regenerative drives feed up to 100% of braking energy back into your network, lowering both energy and system costs while keeping your operations compact and efficient.

Rely on global support anywhere you operate

ABB’s global presence ensures that wherever your logistics automation systems are deployed, expert service and support are close at hand, keeping your operation running at full speed.

Simplify integration with application-ready features

Get up and running fast. Our ACS880 comes with ABBs built-in position control program, anti-pendulum function and the optional safety functions module to elevate your stacker crane to move smoothly and safely.

Scale smart with flexible PLC programming

From simple motion to complex coordination, ABB’s PLC range, including AC500 and AC500-S, offers scalable, IEC-compliant control to meet your system’s exact needs. Condition Monitoring Systems add further insight and reliability.
