The Hänel control system MP12N

One control system – four storage strategies

Whether you use the Hänel storage systems as stand-alone solutions with integrated inventory management or want to integrate the control units into a higher-level ERP system – the top controller MP12N from Hänel has everything already built in. There are four different operating modes available, so you can choose the right one for your storage management.

Integrated in the Hänel control system MP12N are four operating modes:


MP12N-StandAlone
This has the complete storage management package integrated, so no additional PC is required. The Ethernet interface makes hook-up to your IT environment easy. A web server is also available so that the storage data can be displayed on the intranet.
