Material Handling & Logistic

Automation, electrification, and digitalization are transforming logistics and material handling equipment to meet the growing demand for faster throughput, higher efficiency, and safer operations. From forklifts and reach trucks to automated guided vehicles (AGVs), conveyor systems, and warehouse automation, today’s systems must deliver precise, reliable motion control - often in continuous operation.

With their proven reliability and industry-leading performance, Temposonics® magnetostrictive position sensors provide accurate, real-time position feedback for critical motion control applications such as lifting and tilting functions, mast positioning, conveyor systems, and automated storage and retrieval systems – helping operators increase productivity, reduce downtime, and improve system availability.

Key industry challenges:

• Continuous operation with high cycle rates requiring long-term stability and reliability
• Increasing levels of automation and safety functions demanding precise, repeatable position feedback
• Space constraints and compact designs in modern logistics and handling equipment

Advantages:

• Accurate position feedback
  Ensures precise control of lifting, tilting, and positioning functions, enabling smooth and efficient material flow.
• Non-contact, maintenance-free operation
  Magnetostrictive technology eliminates mechanical wear, reducing maintenance effort and ensuring long service life in high-duty-cycle applications
• Rugged, environmental resilience
  Designed to withstand vibration, dust, and EMI commonly found in industrial logistics environments.
• High reliability
  Delivers consistent performance over the entire machine lifetime - critical for automated and and safety-relevant operations
• Compact, modular designs 
  Enable easy integration into space-constrained equipment and flexible system architectures

Benefits:

• Efficient and fast material handling processes, increased safety and operator comfort, and maximum system availability
