Manchester, UK -- Siemens Automation & Drives has launched a new division to provide support on materials handling issues in the airport, aggregate, logistics and reclamation/recycling sectors. The aim, said Siemens, is to provide “a complete control philosophy from mechanical gearbox through to control software and goods control systems.
The new Material Handling Division, which will be led by Andrew Peters of Siemens A&D, will provide support on key industry issues, such as legislative changes, up-time, efficiency, maintainability and service performance.
The division will 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, said Peters, business manager LV, at Siemens.
