Modular control for conveying idPAC

Product overview
idPAC is Itoh Denki’s turnkey modular conveyor platform enabling fast installation, configuration and modification of conveyor lines. Flexibility is achieved by combining 24V MDR modules and diverter modules pre-embedded with control logic together with the idPAC transport control software. The system allows layout changes and flow management without a PLC or complex coding, using an intuitive graphical interface.

Key benefits

• Turnkey modular platform delivered as complete preassembled and prewired modules (rollers, transfer modules, control boards, frames and software) for rapid on-site assembly.
• Fast installation and commissioning: a full idPAC conveyor system can be assembled and operational in approximately three days.
• No PLC required: control boards are pre-programmed with transport logic, reducing programming, debugging and commissioning time.
• Plug & Play: conveyor sections delivered ready for immediate connection.
• Point & Click configuration: intuitive idPAC software with drag-and-drop layout creation and modification without coding.
• Smart commissioning: reduces time-consuming program debugging and conveyor operation tests.
• Map tracking system: select a destination and the system automatically generates the optimal route, ensuring fast transport and collision avoidance.
• Detour function: in case of a jam the system creates alternative routes to avoid downtime and maintain continuous flow.
• Efficient, seamless transport: embedded control logic continuously optimizes routes and handles smooth merging.
• Fully modular and extensible: short standardized sections enable unlimited combinations and hot expansion without stopping operation.

Applications and examples
idPAC is suited to logistics centers, distribution hubs and flexible production lines where layouts must be rapidly deployed, reconfigured or expanded. A documented case shows idPAC operational in a logistics center within three days.
