Innovative Systems for High-Performance Monorail Transport

Electric Monorail Systems (EMS) are essential for transporting components like doors, cockpits, and engines in automotive production. Our solutions, such as high-performance conductor rails and advanced inductive systems, provide a reliable energy supply, keeping operations smooth and eliminating costly downtime. Built to meet the demanding standards of the automotive industry, our solutions ensure uninterrupted energy flow, even under heavy loads and high speeds.

Real-time data is critical to keep EMS carriers running safely and efficiently. Our cutting-edge data transmission systems deliver precise communication between carriers and control systems, ensuring smooth integration into production lines. This level of accuracy optimizes movement control and supports maximum efficiency across every step of the process.

Automation and safety are key to efficient production. Control solutions such as our LJU control technology monitor and control all movements of EMS carriers to ensure safe and efficient operation. These easy-to-maintain control boxes allow faults to be rectified quickly, minimizing downtime and improving overall line productivity.

Powering Smart Mobility: Solutions for AGVs and AMRs

AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) are essential for automated material transportation in factories and warehouses. While AGVs follow fixed routes, AMRs use SLAM technology to navigate dynamically and adapt to changing environments. To maximize uptime and efficiency, a well-designed energy supply and data communication strategy is essential.

A reliable energy concept is key to ensuring continuous operation. Opportunity charging helps minimize battery size, weight and cost, while reducing the total number of robots needed to perform a given task. Our solutions, such as inductive charging and conductor rail systems, provide efficient power transmission, eliminating long charging breaks. Intelligent energy management, which co-designs battery size with the charging strategy, enables seamless integration into operational workflows, allowing robots to charge strategically without disrupting production.

Stable and fast data connectivity is essential for accurate navigation, process control, and fleet management. Our solutions enable real-time communication, allowing AGVs and AMRs to receive updates, optimize routes, and react dynamically to obstacles. In addition, advanced data management allows robots to enter sleep mode during downtime and wake up automatically, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. By integrating reliable energy transmission with intelligent data communication, we enhance productivity, optimize fleet efficiency, and support the seamless automation of modern intralogistics environments.

Reliable Energy and Data Solutions for Automated Storage and Retrieval

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) based on Storage and Retrieval machines (SRMs) are often used in automated high-bay warehouses. The power supply of SRMs is crucial for their high dynamics and efficiency. Our tailored energy transmission solutions power all axes - horizontal, vertical, and load handling devices - while reducing energy consumption. Thanks to innovative technologies such as CopperECO conductor rail on the horizontal axis, we minimize energy losses, reducing CO2 emissions and operating costs.

Precise data transmission ensures seamless communication between SRMs and control systems. Our real-time solutions guarantee accurate motion, positioning, and monitoring, maximizing uptime and boosting the efficiency of automated warehouses.

Advanced control solutions enable dynamic, efficient operation of SRMs. Our systems integrate easily with digital warehouse platforms, synchronizing motion to optimize productivity and meet the demands of modern intralogistics.

Tailored Solutions for You:

For the horizontal Stacker Crane movement

• ProShell is a smart Installation System for Conductor Rails that offers generous suspension spacing for high-bay warehouses and protects the Conductor Rail System. It is designed for maximum standardization and flexible installation of our proven and reliable Conductor Rail Systems 0831 MultiLine or 0812 SinglePowerLine, optional quick-mount barcode integration is available.
• CopperECO is an aluminum-copper innovation to the market for our proven 0812 SinglePowerLine Conductor Rails. It enables even higher currents during standstill of heavy-duty stacker cranes, allowing for the lifting of pallets over several minutes in one position through increased surface-conductivity.
