Logistics & Warehouse Automation
Logistics & Warehouse Automation
Discuss Your Material Flow RequirementsOur Logistics & Warehouse Automation solutions help businesses automate the movement, handling, sorting and transfer of goods across warehouses and manufacturing facilities. We develop solutions around your facility layout, material type and movement requirements using technologies such as AMRs, robotics, conveying, motion control and industrial software.
What Our Logistics & Warehouse Automation Helps With
Goods may need to move repeatedly between receiving areas, storage locations, production zones, workstations and dispatch points. Different movement patterns require different automation approaches.
Our team evaluates how materials need to move before selecting the technology, whether the requirement involves flexible autonomous transportation, fixed conveying, robotic handling or integration with production equipment.
Material Handling and Intralogistics Automation
Automated material handling can support repetitive transportation of goods, components and production materials throughout a facility.
Depending on the application, intralogistics automation may combine AMRs, robotics, conveyors, controls and other automation technologies to connect storage, processing, assembly and production areas into a more coordinated material-flow process.
AMR Integration for Flexible Material Movement
Autonomous Mobile Robots can support material transportation between workstations, production areas and other internal logistics points without relying only on fixed conveying equipment.
AMR applications can include:
- Material transportation between workstations
- Production-line material movement
- Intralogistics
- Movement between operational zones
- Automated delivery of goods within a facility
The appropriate solution depends on the material-handling requirement and facility layout.
Conveying, Sorting and Robotic Handling
Conveyors can support goods movement along defined routes between logistics or production processes. They can also be integrated with robotics, inspection systems and production equipment.
Where sorting is required, automation may combine product movement, identification, robotic handling, machine vision and automation controls.
Industrial robots can support pick-and-place, goods handling, product positioning, machine tending and transfer between processes according to the object and movement requirements.
Identification and Material-Flow Visibility
Machine vision can support barcode and QR code reading, OCR, product verification, visual inspection, positioning and alignment where goods need to be identified or checked during movement.
Industrial software can also support machine data collection, process monitoring, production traceability, dashboards, reporting and wider automation-system integration according to project requirements.
Motion Control for Logistics Equipment
Our supported automation components include servo motors and amplifiers, stepper motors and drivers, AC, DC and BLDC motors, electric actuators, planetary gearboxes, motion controllers, PLCs, HMIs, frequency inverters and I/O modules.
Engineering support can include component selection, motor sizing and simulation where applicable to the equipment requirements.
Choosing the Right Material Handling Approach
The technology should match the movement requirement. AMRs can support flexible transportation between facility areas, while conveyors are suitable for defined routes. Robotics can support repetitive handling, and Intelligent MAGLEV Transfer Systems can provide precise controlled movement between automated production workstations.
Multiple technologies can also be integrated where different material-handling processes need to operate together.

Why Work with iMS Motionet?
We combine international multi-brand automation technologies with application engineering and system integration support.
Our capabilities across AMR integration, robotics, motion control, intelligent transfer systems and industrial software allow us to develop automation around the overall material-flow requirement rather than treating each piece of equipment separately.
Improve Material Flow Through Your Facility
Tell us where your goods need to move, how they are currently handled and how the process connects with surrounding operations. Our engineering team can assess the requirement and discuss a suitable logistics or warehouse automation approach.
