Agility

High degree of agility thanks to layout flexibility, throughput flexibility and the wide range of materials that can be conveyed.

Shorter product and production life cycles, as well as an increasing range of variants, have led to a growing demand for production systems that can be adapted quickly to meet different needs. At the same time, customers are demanding that products manufactured in smaller production batches should be the same price and of the same quality as products manufactured in large volumes.

This calls for dynamic production structures that can be adapted easily to meet different needs, with commissioning and conversion times for the production systems kept to an absolute minimum.

Not only is flexibility in previously specified ranges required here, but also the capability to react to unforeseen and unplanned changes.

In order to meet all these requirements, the ConTrax Mobile System was created by systematically developing our automation components.

The key feature of our ConTrax System is its unique agility.

Key factors here are the mobility, compatibility, networkability and scalability of an automated guided vehicle system. Thanks to uniform interfaces, such as exchangeable workpiece carriers and indexing units, our ConTrax System can perform a very wide range of functions and operations. In conjunction with innovative energy management and optical tracking that can be rapidly adapted to different needs, ConTrax meets all the requirements of a changeable, dynamic production system.

Layout flexibility
Layout structures can be changed in the minimum of time. Thanks to the use of modular components, the system can be extended and integrated quickly, a process facilitated by the ease of adaptation of the optical track and our unique energy management. The system can continue to be used even following complete reorganisation of the production plant.

Throughput flexibility
The scalability of the modules, that is the ease with which they can be expanded or reduced, enables throughput to be varied quickly and easily.

Flexibility of the material to be conveyed
Because the modules can be used with practically any type of product, the system can respond quickly to altered product and production requirements - only the workpiece carrier must be changed.
