A look back at CeMAT

‘Sustainability in Intralogistics’ was the tagline for CeMAT 2011

The issue of sustainability is of course a constant challenge for Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems, as it is for other companies, in view of rising energy and commodity prices and the ongoing debate about climate change.

The countless visitors to our stand and the exceptionally high interest in our products showed us that the innovative solutions from Hänel are meeting these challenges. One of the core topics at CeMAT 2011 was the Hänel EcoConcept, consisting of the three components:

Hänel EcoDrive®
Energy recovery thanks to built-in frequency converter

Hänel EcoMode®
Intelligent energy management

Hänel EcoLoad®
Hänel microprocessor controllers with new features

The high-speed version of the Hänel Rotomat® also attracted a great deal of interest. It has enabled Hänel to push the physical boundaries of vertical carousel technology yet again, and increase the rotation speed by up to 70%.

Similarly, the new Hänel AutoIdent® has been perfected. All pick and put operations are recorded and monitored by camera.
At the trade fair visitors were able to test the VendiShelf system, which won an award in Poland for safe and secure retrieval, on the Hänel Lean-Lift®. It showed many visitors new application possibilities for their logistics divisions.

Another innovative solution, the option of storing different items at different temperatures (down to ‑ 80° C) in one Lean-Lift®, was also greeted by the public with keen interest.

With its top controller MP 12 N Hänel offers flexibility in new dimensions: one control system – four different storage strategies.

The time-proven storage management software HänelSoft® has been given a new look. Apply the functionality of a tablet PC directly at the control unit.

The digital information and location display is particularly useful on very wide storage systems as it eliminates long walking distances and can save time.

Detailed information on these innovations will be appearing on our website soon.
