Nord offers support to parcel distribution centres

Nord Drive Systems is offering tailor-made solutions to support operators of parcel distribution centres in increasing the energy efficiency of their conveyor systems.

Nord’s experts configure tailor-made drive solutions from the Nord modular system. The IE5 synchronous motor forms the basis of many drive solutions and is said to exceed the highest standardised efficiency class IE5. It is provided by Nord as a stand-alone motor and as an integrated system solution. In the DuoDrive geared motor, the motor is integrated into a bevel gear unit and thus adds energy saving, reduced interfacing and installation space. In the LogiDrive drive system, the configuration is completed by a decentralised frequency inverter to reduce any wiring effort.

With an overload capacity of up to 300%, the solutions from Nord allow for the reduction of drive variants in a system. For example, by using drive technology from Nord, a German logistics company could reduce the number of variants from 27 to 10 in one of its parcel distribution centres.

According to Nord, such reduction of variants minimises administrative costs, streamlines production, logistics, storage and service processes, and thus reduces the TCO.

The minimisation of downtimes is also important in the field of post & parcel. For this purpose, Nord offers its Smart Check. The modular service concept keeps intralogistics systems up to date, makes maintenance and repair predictive, and increases operational reliability and system availability.
