Products (Cont’d) Induction Controller (gap optimizer) is a pre-engineered and packaged motion control product (servo) that supports high speed induction into n:1 merge applications (required for high speed sorting). The product includes: •  Complete PLC, I/O, rack, power supply and other control components (Allen- Bradley ControlLogix based) •  Drive controllers 1 – n axis •  Complete panel/sub-panel components •  Standard operator interface and maintenance/service access options •  Cables, resolver, drive assemblies •  Complete Induction Controller Version 2.4 software package •  Operation and maintenance manual

Products The Pyramid Controller product line is an established, field proven, PLC (Allen-Bradley Control Logix, SLC & PLC5x) based suite of workplace automation software that provides direct, real-time control of a multitude of material handling equipment (and related processes):

•  Induction Controller •  Conveyor Controller •  Sort Controller

Conveyor Controller is a comprehensive, pre-engineered library of PLC application software that includes several standardized (but fully configurable) functional modules that support operations such as: "  Receiving "  Quality Control "  Warehouse Storage/Retrieval "  Picking "  Packing "  Returns "  Shipping/Loading Conveyor Controller also supports a variety of specialty I/O (for most leading manufacturers equipment): "  Bar Code Scanning "  RFID Readers/Writers "  Automatic, In-Motion "  Dimensioning/Cubing "  Automatic, In-Motion Weighing "  Marking/Coding & Vision "  Other

The Conveyor Controller product is one of the most extensive and technically advanced PLC application software libraries in the material handling industry today.

Brief Overview As a company, Pyramid was founded in 1994 by a small group of entrepreneurial material handling professionals who share a common business vision:

Experience & Expertise Since its inception, Pyramid has implemented 230+ advanced material handling system solutions for over 100 end customers at 200+ locations, both domestic and abroad. As part of its vast project experience, Pyramid has enjoyed the privilege of working extensively with all leading material handling manufacturers (and their equipment) including: "  Hytrol, Automotion "  HK Systems, Ermanco "  FKILogistex (Mathews, Buschman, Alvey) "  Siemens-Dematic (Rapistan) "  Gartner, Schonenberger, etc. (GOH) Pyramid’s control application expertise includes: "  Sorters (pop-up/swivel, slat/shoe, tilt tray, cross belt, GOH, etc.) "  Conveyors (accumulation, belt, live roller, etc.) "  Inductions (high speed servo, inverter, hydraulic/pneumatic clutch) "  Merges "  Fluid Loaders/Un-Loaders "  Palletizers "  Garment Rail(GOH) "  Carousel "  AS/RS "  AGVS

Sort Controller is a pre-engineered sort control product that supports high speed package sorting across multiple sorting technologies e.g. belt, slat/shoe, cross-belt, and sorter manufacturers. The product includes: •  Complete Sort Controller Version 1.0 software package •  Operation and maintenance manual

Pyramid can also provide all control panel, drive and field hardware for the Sort Controller application(s).
