Help visitors get the basic idea within a few seconds, so they understand what this section is about.

Application

In a modern production line, axle assembly, tire mounting and transmission transport are automated with the help of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and electric monorail systems (EMS).

Challenges

Communication between the central controller and the moving transport systems must be stable, reliable and without signal loss - even in an environment with possible interference from machines and metal structures.

Solution

The radio data transmission is realized via the DATAEAGLE 3002 radio link. This technology ensures interference-free, wireless transmission of control data between the transport systems and the master control system.

Products used

  • PROFIBUS data radio system
    Radio module DATAEAGLE 3712
  • Radio module DATAEAGLE 3712

Outcome

Thanks to the robust and reliable wireless communication, the material flow is uninterrupted, production efficiency is increased and downtimes are minimized.
