Conveyor Vehicles – Highly Reliable and Low-Wear Wireless Systems for Automated Production
R3 Solutions provides the wireless technology that connects conveyor vehicles along long production lines to the central control system safely, reliably, and without wear—even over long distances and during continuous movement.
Menu
Overview
Conveyor vehicles, such as battery-powered push or transfer carts, move workpieces along automated production lines that can extend for hundreds of meters. The vehicles themselves must be connected to the central control system continuously and, above all, without failure. This ensures maximum productivity as well as worker safety.
A wired connection is generally not feasible for moving vehicles traveling such distances. Conventional sliding contact or busbar systems are subject to high wear and tear. Wireless communication therefore represents the better solution, but it also comes with specific requirements: It must be highly reliable, capable of real-time operation, and available seamlessly along the entire route.
How R3 Solves the Challenges
The R3 product portfolio is tailored to the typical requirements of automated conveyor lines: Real-time control and the transmission of safety-related signals enable wear-free, low-maintenance communication among the mobile vehicles.
Edge X
For advanced requirements that demand higher bandwidths and the integration of different protocols.
Bridge E
For safety and control applications with real-time requirements and high synchronization.
- Determinism: Time-slot-based signal transmission, packet loss rate of 0.000000001 %.
- Real-time communication: Latencies of up to 2 milliseconds are possible.
- Safety-compliant: PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, and others are transmitted transparently.
- Proven in practice: Years of use by European and American OEMs.
