Transfer Cars

Seamless Transport with Efficient Energy Supply and Control Systems

The energy supply plays a key role in the performance of Transfer Cars. Continuous power supply via long-life conductor rails or contactless charging systems ensures efficient operation even under high dynamics and intensive use. Designed for reliability and energy efficiency, our solutions minimize downtime, reduce maintenance needs, and help to cut overall costs.

Seamless data transmission drives precise control. Whether wired communication via conductor rails or advanced powerline technology, our solutions provide stable and fast data transmission, enabling real-time monitoring and control. This ensures synchronization and efficiency throughout the material flow.

Transfer Cars automate material flow by connecting multiple load transfer points safely and efficiently. Our innovative control systems integrate intelligent features such as safety mechanisms and flexible motion sequences. This allows not only high scalability but also precise adaptation to different requirements for maximum productivity and operational reliability.

    Electric Pallet Conveyors

    Integrated Energy and Data for Continuous Material Flow

    Our energy and data management solutions are the brains and nerves of Electric Pallet Conveyors and Electric Monorail Systems (EMS) and key for their performance. Conductor Rails and Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) systems ensure reliable and uninterrupted energy transmission, even in high-speed and long-distance applications. Designed specifically for the mechanical and electrical requirements of Electric Pallet Conveyors and Monorails, our 0815 ProEMS conductor rail system ensures smooth and force-free collector guidance with a cable connection integrated into the collector arm. In addition, long-life pure graphite brushes minimize wear and reduce maintenance requirements. Whether for pre-storage zones in warehouses or suspended EMS installations, our advanced technologies provide seamless energy transmission, optimizing both safety and efficiency.

     

    Seamless communication is the backbone of automated material handling. Our intelligent control solutions and rail bus systems enable real-time data transmission for precise coordination between moving units, sensors, and control systems. Our products, such as the 0815 ProEMS conductor rail system, combine energy and data, ensuring robust communication and integrating predictive maintenance for increased transparency and reduced downtime.

      AGVs & AMRs

      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.
