Wirelessly controlled Overhead Monorail System

Problem statement

The client required a wireless control system for their overhead monorail application. The option of using sliding contacts for data transmission was physically not feasible and also more expensive at installation and runtime with respect to maintenance.

Implementation scenario

We provided the overall network architecture and installment guidelines to ensure a zero-downtime, low-latency wireless control network. Our cooperation partner then performed the complete and successful commissioning.

Business impact

With its 24/7 uptime, our wireless network solution has become crucial in helping our client meet their overall production target. This is especially significant in their highly professionalized automotive-oriented segment, where efficiency and reliability are paramount.
