The energy chain in the lane – Part 6

Christian Strauch | 16. June 2020

autoglide 5: Everything possible, or what? As extensively described in the last parts, the autoglide 5 is in many ways much better than a busbar system. To highlight just a few benefits: – Extremely fast installation: usually less than an hour, regardless of length! -You save a lot of time: time is cash, time is […]

Christian Strauch | 23. April 2020

I don’t think there is any industry where plant and installations are assembled and disassembled as quickly as here. Music events, festivals, sporting events, etc. usually only last a few days. This means that there is little time for assembly and disassembly. For automatic camera systems for longer distances, certain rail systems are required. If […]

Ball bearings or plain bearings in AGVs: That is the question.

Christian Strauch | 8. April 2020

Flawless transport systems are conquering more and more areas of industry – intralogistics in particular. These small and large automatic guided vehicles, or AGVs, have one thing in common: they must function reliably 24 hour a day, seven days a week – ideally for a long period of time. Periodic maintenance is not desirable. That […]

Narrow-aisle truck automation

Christian Strauch | 1. April 2020

The data transfer dilemma In the course of general system and vehicle automation in intralogistics, there is an area where companies are converting their narrow-aisle trucks into true autonomous transport vehicles. Something that was pure science fiction just a few years ago, can be implemented relatively easily today with the help of modern information technology […]

Optimised solution for vertical energy supply

Christian Strauch | 24. March 2020

Guidelite ECO: Part 1 For vertical energy supply in intralogistics such as storage and retrieval units, lifters and other lifts, the energy chain is still preferred to the busbar system. The travel or stroke lengths are generally less than 50 metres – usually much less. The question is this: which costs less? Busbar system or […]
