Your benefits

Reduce costs
because MOVI-DPS® ensures system availability and intelligently controls energy requirements.

Conserve resources
because MOVI-DPS® saves you energy and raw materials.

Simplify installation
thanks to storage bundles that are extremely easy to integrate thanks to their plastic housing and universal connector technology.

Increase process reliability
as the system still functions in the event of a power failure. All applications and systems are energy-optimised.

MOVI-DPS® - Reduce energy requirements, expand infrastructure

The best possible scenario: stable grids, no failures and, in connection with this, reliable system availability. Plus optimized grid connection costs and energy demand that is intelligently controlled. Only as much power rating is drawn from the grid as necessary. Your logistics applications work highly efficiently and the throughput of your infrastructure is increased. This is what your entry into energy and performance-optimised logistics can look like.

With MOVI-DPS®, SEW-EURODRIVE offers you the perfect solution.® offers you the optimum combination: Conserve resources. Reduce costs. Secure the future. Naturally modular, as you have come to expect from us. And, of course, precisely tailored to your needs.

Energy interface, power interface, storage bundle and energy management in one: In both mobile and stationary applications, MOVI-DPS®shows what it can do. In other words: With this intelligent drive solution, you can reduce the connected load of your storage/retrieval system by up to 80 per cent. Compared to solutions with braking resistance, you can save up to 40 per cent energy savings.

MOVI-DPS® System overview and operating principle Energy mode

In energy mode, MOVI-DPS® continuously provides energy for the application over several minutes from the MOVI-DPS®-storage bundle for several minutes. This means that, for example, an automated guided vehicle system (AGV) can use the MOVITRANS®-line cable and travel a route without an external energy supply. Addendum: the energy supply with MOVITRANS® the peak power of the AGV can be increased.

MOVI-DPS® System overview and functional principle in power mode

With MOVI-DPS® in power mode, you can realise very dynamic applications with travel times of 1 to 60 seconds. The intelligent power rating management significantly reduces the power consumption. MOVI-DPS® with TDM90E pick-up: The storage bundle is connected directly to the voltage output of the TDM90E and in parallel to the DC link power supply.
  • Reduction of the peak power draw from the grid
  • Voltage stabilisation
  • UPS functionality:
    • Fire protection applications
    • Stacker cranes, handling equipment
    • Maintaining the DC 24 V supply
  • Automated guided vehicles (AGV)
  • EMS (EMS)
  • Shuttles, satellites for small parts/pallet storage (AKL/APL)
  • Storage/retrieval systems
  • Vertical conveyors
  • Pallet transfer shuttles
  • Hub/vertical conveyors

Automated guided vehicle system
  • Specially developed. With protection class IP54, the storage units are especially suitable for decentralised use outside a control cabinet and for mobile use in industry.
  • Cleverly combined. With contactless power supply via MOVITRANS®the modular MOVIPRO® unit concept® modular unit concept and our application software, we offer you a customised system solution from a single source.
  • Exclusively from us. With MOVI-DPS® and our drive systems, we offer you a unique solution in this combination.
  • Even more flexibility and independence. Industrial trucks are able to absorb energy in the shortest possible time while travelling through energy tracks via inductive energy transfer and then navigate freely through space, i.e. independently of fixed paths.
  • Maintenance reduced to a minimum: The use of double-layer capacitors in an energy storage system significantly reduces maintenance, in contrast to vehicles that are operated with batteries.

Pallet transfer shuttle

For the pallet transfer shuttle we use MOVI-DPS® in connection with the contactless energy transmission MOVITRANS® and the application inverter MOVIPRO®-ADC.

3 Servo multi-axis amplifier MOVIAXIS®

4 MOVI-PLC®® power with energy management modules

5 Gearmotors


Your advantages with MOVI-DPS®®:

  • Energy savings identified, to!
  • Network largely freed from load peaks!

Hub/lowering conveyor

In order to optimize the power rating of the hub/lowering conveyor, we use MOVI-DPS® we use the MOVIPRO®-ADC application inverter with an energy management interface and energy management modules. Your application also works in the event of a power failure. In the event of a power failure, the lifting axis, for example, is held in position until the mechanical brake is applied.

Dipl.Ing. (FH) Dirk Schedler, Product Manager for contactless energy transfer systems and energy storage systems

"SEW-EURODRIVE is unique on the market with its direct combination option of contactless energy transfer system MOVITRANS® and energy supply MOVI-DPS®. This simplifies dimensioning and shortens startup times. MOVITRANS® line and MOVITRANS® spot in combination with MOVI-DPS® are optimally matched to each other and can therefore be easily integrated into mobile applications and vehicles."
