NORD: The Intralogistics Expert for Your Industry

With drive solutions from NORD, your conveyor systems operate at peak performance in warehouse logistics, parcel distribution centers, and airports. We understand your requirements and, with our technical expertise, many years of project experience, and our modular product range, we have everything needed to implement them for your application.

Our drive checklist for your new construction or retrofit project:

  • Efficient Energy Use
    Achieve your CO₂ and cost targets with conveyor systems that require little energy. Our high efficiency motors achieve this even during partial load operation, which is typical for variable transport weights.
  • Functional Safety
    We keep your conveyor system running safely without additional installations. Integrated safety functions can be easily connected via Ethernet using our drive electronics. The result: safe stops and fast restarting of the conveyors.
  • Low Maintenance Requirements
    No downtime, no problem. For long conveyor lines, we rely on decentralized variable frequency drives. This significantly reduces maintenance and cabling costs and is easy to scale.
  • Condition Monitoring
    Extend the service life of your system. With our modular IIoT solution NORD DRIVE MONITOR, you can use condition monitoring data from your NORD drive system for predictive maintenance.
  • Virtual Commissioning
    Is your plant in the planning stage? With digital twins , we help shorten the development process. Test your virtual NORD drive system within your virtual plant. Manufacturing begins only after you validate the system.

LogiDrive® Airport Solution Room

System Solutions for Baggage Conveyor Belts and Sorting Applications

The LogiDrive concept from NORD is a standardized modular system. It combines motors, gear units, and variable frequency drives from NORD to create an industry specific drive solution for intralogistics applications in warehouses, postal and parcel services, and airports. Discover how you can benefit from our airport solutions for belt and tray conveyors.

<h3>Top-Level Efficiency and Safety</h3>
Advanced (+): DuoDrive / NORDAC LINK
Advanced(+) systems are designed for high energy efficiency and are well suited for achieving climate targets. This variant combines our patented gearmotor concept with our most advanced inverter technology and also offers high serviceability.

  • Highly efficient drive system with IE5+ motor
  • Fewer wear parts due to integration of the IE5+ motor into the gear unit housing (DuoDrive)
  • Decentralized variable frequency drive with comprehensive functional safety package for PROFIsafe/FSoE (NORDAC LINK)

<h3>Efficiency With Maximum Flexibility</h3>
Advanced: IE5+ Motor / Bevel Gear Unit / NORDAC LINK
The Advanced system is also based on our IE5+ motor, whose efficiency exceeds that of the highest energy efficiency class (IE5). Combined with our NORDBLOC.1 bevel gear unit and the NORDAC LINK variable frequency drive, this solution supports a wide range of applications.

  • Synchronous motor offers consistently high efficiency across the entire speed range (IE5+ motor)
  • Wide speed range enables high adaptability (NORDBLOC.1)
  • Decentralized variable frequency drive with comprehensive functional safety package for PROFIsafe/FSoE (NORDAC LINK)

<h3>Cost Efficient With Compact Dimensions</h3>
Basic: NORDAC FUSION / Bevel Gear Unit
The Basic system is designed for cost efficiency. With the NORDAC FUSION plus gear unit, users receive a compact drive solution with high power density and the latest NORD safety profile.

  • NORDAC FUSION combines an asynchronous motor (IE3) with a decentralized NORDAC ON variable frequency drive (system power up to 3.2 kW)
  • Optionally available with IE5+ synchronous motor (system power up to 3.7 kW)
  • Decentralized variable frequency drive with motor mounting option and comprehensive functional safety package for PROFIsafe/FSoE

More Efficient Baggage Handling With NORD ECO

With NORD ECO Service, we determine the consumption data of your installed drive system and use this information to develop an optimization proposal. Several international airports have already applied this to their baggage handling systems. New drive solutions reduced energy consumption between 15 and 47%.

The savings ranged from 471 to 1095 kWh per year, equivalent to approximately 165 to 382 kg less CO₂.

There is often potential for optimization in baggage handling systems. We frequently encounter drive systems that are oversized. With the NORD ECO Service, we have already been able to reduce the energy efficiency and carbon footprint of some systems. In airport technology, we are thus making a significant contribution to achieving climate targets.
