Electric Drive

Electric Drive

The motor controller (often called inverter or drive) powers and controls the motor in warehouse automation equipment. To enable efficiency and quality control of the motor, fast and reliable connectivity between the motor and inverter is needed.

As is the case with all factory-based electric drive applications, shock and vibration capability, and sealing are important factors at play in warehouse automation equipment such as forklifts, AGVs, AMRs, and ASRS. Below you can browse our products for electric drives, which arespecifically engineered to provide reliable, high-quality connections, all in a small form factor.

Battery Management

Battery Management

In warehouse automation, the reliability of forklifts, AGVs, AMRs, and ASRS is crucial. The steady operation of these warehouse vehicles depends on a battery management system (BMS), which tracks battery usage, temperature, and charging status.

Since battery connectors are one of the most vulnerable parts of the system, the use of rugged, high-quality connections is key to avoiding downtime. Our products for battery management are designed and engineered to work in harsh environments with high vibration. They also enable the miniaturization needed for increasingly compact batteries and battery systems.

Charging Stations

Where there are batteries, there must be charging. Speed is key in warehouse automation, and the various robots operating in a warehouse cannot sit idly for hours on end to power up. Therefore, charging currents tend to be high in warehouses, ranging from 40 A to 300 A.

Reliable power connectors simplify assembly efforts and help reduce safety hazards, and TE’s products can help improve power distribution capabilities between the charger, battery, and drive system. Our connectors offer multiple contact points to support high-vibration tolerance, and our large product portfolios serve a wide variety of uses and compact designs.
