Siemens moves into the materials handling sector
July 1st 2007 Siemens Automation & Drives has
launched a new division which aims to
provide best practice solutions to the
materials handling sector. The new
division will help customers to address
the changing needs and requirements
of the materials handling sector and
provide support on key industry
issues, such as legislative changes,
up-time, efficiency, maintainability
and service performance.
In particular, the new Siemens
division intends to focus on the
materials handling sector's 'just in time'
culture for material control and
distribution which is pushing existing
technological solutions to their limit.
"Over the past decade, industry
has gone through immense change
and customers have been left
bewildered at the various offerings
available within the market place,"
comments Andrew Peters, business
manager LV, at Siemens. "At Siemens,
we have recognised that our
customers require a more specialist
service offering, with expert
materials handling knowledge and
experience. Our dedicated team wil
ensure that our customers receive
the best possible service and
solutions for their business."
The Siemens solution involves
implementing a complete control
philosophy from mechanical gearbox
through to control software and goods
control systems. Each element is
integrated using the Siemens
approach of Totally Integrated
Automation which reduces
installation time and costs.
Peters concludes: "Through our
experiences across the key materials
handling sectors, we can draw on a
broad knowledge base and expertise
for the benefit of our customers." More articles from Siemens Moore Process Automation: |
