Material handling systems may have the simple job of moving products from point A to point B, but they are often anything but simple. Advances in automation have introduced variable speed motors, robotic sorting, and more to improve the speed and efficacy of these systems. As these applications advance so do the ways we power, control and communicate with them. These new technologies come with a variety of different cabling challenges including long runs, complex motion profiles, and intricate routing.
