Intelligent Zone-Based Control for Warehouse Airflow
Warehouse Airflow System Controls
Complete Visibility and Control for Your Airflow System
Warehouse airflow system controls connect individual HVLS, directional, and ventilation fans into a coordinated operating network.
Apex specifies either the HMI 1–10 Controller or the FanBrain™ Control System, depending on the size, complexity, and integration requirements of your facility. Control architecture is developed during the planning phase to align with your warehouse layout, labor density, and seasonal airflow strategy.
Control solutions scale from standalone wall-mounted interfaces to enterprise-level, networked platforms for multi-building environments.
Control Options for Warehouse Airflow Systems
Option 1: HMI 1–10 Controller
Multi-Fan Touchscreen Control for Single-Facility Applications
The HMI 1–10 Controller provides centralized control for up to 10 fans from a single touchscreen interface. This solution is ideal for warehouses that require coordinated control without full building management integration.
Core Capabilities
This option provides simple, centralized visibility and manual control across defined zones such as pick modules, storage aisles, or dock areas.
Option 2: FanBrain™ Fully Automatic Control System
Advanced, Intelligent Airflow Management
FanBrain™ is a fully automatic control system designed for larger or more complex warehouse environments. It provides synchronized, intelligent control across multiple fans and supports integration with building systems.
Core Capabilities
FanBrain™ enables automatic airflow adjustment based on:
This allows the system to operate proactively rather than relying solely on manual adjustments.
Integrated Into Your Airflow System Design
Controls are specified as part of the overall airflow project. During the facility assessment, Apex determines whether the HMI 1–10 Controller or the FanBrain™ system is the appropriate solution based on:
Apex designs the airflow system and its control architecture together to ensure coordinated performance from installation through startup.
