02 / Commands
Control movements.
Direct the task.
Use proportional joystick control when you need to adjust movement directly, and function commands to initiate tasks handled by the machine’s application software.
A pallet shuttle can bring both approaches together: direct movement control alongside task selection, with status returned to the operator.
03 / Feedback
Bring information back
to the operator
Control is a two-way exchange. Commands go to the machine; operating information comes back.
Depending on the device, displays and indicators can present machine status, measured values and notifications alongside the controls. That puts relevant information where the operator is working, helping them understand how the machine is responding.
