The high-performance Hänel MP 14 N controller – proven technology in modern design

The face-lift of the Hänel MP 14 N controller combines maximum ease of use with an elegant system interface. 

The 12-inch high-resolution touchscreen supports maximum ease of use with plenty of space to show extensive information. The enormous range of functions offered by the Hänel MP 14 N controller is enhanced by easy and intuitive operation.

The new design improves ease of use dramatically. Graphics have a minimal style that provides for a clear and concise visual design. The new color scheme guides users as they navigate through the controller’s functions. Slight changes to various icons, dialogs and graphics round off the new look and feel of the controller.

The integrated alphanumeric keyboard has also been optimized in terms of color and contrast. Individual keys are very distinct and easy to see, thus improving operation even in environments with dim lighting.

Switching to the new user interface is easy

Hänel Service can install a system update for all existing storage solutions equipped with the MP 14 N controller to give operators the new user interface. Users are then able to switch from the classic mode to the new design quite easily.

The MP 14 N controller serves as the central node in digital networks comprised of Hänel storage systems. Thanks to the latest browser technology and support from a wide range of interfaces, the Hänel controller is now at the vanguard of digital intralogistics and ready for the requirements of the future.
