CIMCORP Optimizes Gantry Robots for Intralogistics with ctrlX AUTOMATION
The Challenge: Finding a Future-Proof Automation SolutionAfter more than 10 years, CIMCORP's previous automation solution had reached its limits. They required a new platform that was not only powerful and compact but also open and adaptable enough to meet future demands for connectivity and intelligence in their advanced gantry robot systems. ctrlX CORE: The ultra-compact controller provides the powerful heart of the system. ctrlX DRIVE: A compact, intelligent, and regenerative drive system for all motion tasks. ctrlX MOTION: Software for Cartesian robots simplifies development and commissioning. Open Ecosystem: The platform's openness allowed for easy integration with CIMCORP's higher-level logistics software and provides a path to future technologies like AI, IoT, and 5G.

ctrlX CORE controls extended arm for storage and retrieval machines and materials handling systems
The Challenge: Upgrading a Legacy System for Modern DemandsDAMBACH's previous shuttle system, a successful 10-year veteran, was reaching its limits. They needed to overcome spare parts issues, enhance performance, and increase flexibility and storage density to meet evolving intralogistics demands. This necessitated a complete upgrade to a new-generation shuttle.

Leaner And More Flexible: How Cabinet-free Technology Revolutionizes Intralogistics
The Challenge: The Constraints of Traditional Automation DesignIn the drive for lean manufacturing, traditional control cabinets present a major obstacle. They are space-consuming, require extensive and costly wiring, generate heat that necessitates energy-intensive cooling, and limit the modularity of machine design. For dynamic intralogistics systems like storage and retrieval machines, this adds unnecessary weight and complexity.
The Challenge: Keeping a Flexible AGV Fleet PoweredAs industries adopt fleets of AGVs for 24/7 logistics, a key challenge emerges: how to keep them charged without costly downtime or manual intervention? A solution was needed that could provide fast, reliable, and completely automated charging to ensure continuous material flow and economic operation.
