Monorail transport system

electric drivepallet

Internal transport system that automates and streamlines the flow of pallets using self-propelled trolleys that move along electrified rails. The product Automated solution for high-speed pallet transport. Ideal for long distances The electric monorail system comprises self-propelled trolleys that move pallets along a closed circuit of electrified rails (fixed to the floor or suspended from the ceiling). This completely configurable solution enables the design of circuits of varying complexity and great length to connect different areas quickly and efficiently. Guided by software that regulates traffic and assigns the most appropriate route, the trolleys move through the circuit, transferring pallets between the various loading and unloading points. Thanks to its speed, Mecalux’s electric monorail system maximises the flow of goods in all types of warehouses and production centres. Advantages of the electric monorail system • High speed: the trolleys reach speeds of up to 100 m/min loaded and 120 m/min unloaded. This makes the system faster than conveyors, delivering a higher flow of pallets per hour. • Long distances: electric monorail circuits are an excellent solution for automating the transport of palletised loads between distant points. • Intelligent system: the warehouse control system (WCS) assesses circuit traffic and loading/unloading needs in real time to distribute tasks among available trolleys. It assigns each trolley the fastest path to its destination, dynamically modifying routes to avoid bottlenecks.
