Statement from Martin Claussen, Montratec

Montratec ItochuMartin Claussen, Managing Director for Sales and Marketing at Montratec GmbH, Niedereschach, comments: “We are very pleased that we were able to convince Itochu of our innovative monorail and shuttle transport system Montrac and with it Exclusive contract get promising market access to the highly industrial high-tech market in Japan. This contract is a huge success for us.

First joint projects have already been implemented and will be implemented with the establishment of the Automation business division in Itochu Machine-Technos Corp. further expanded in the field of mechanical and plant engineering. Here the Montrac system will play an important role in establishing Industry 4.0 automation solutions. "

For Itochu, the expansion of its portfolio with the transport shuttles controlled with intelligent digitization technology enables the Intralogistik and Production automation with increased productivity and reduced costs in mechanical engineering. Montratec and Itochu strive for an intensive cooperation. The goal is significant growth in the area of ​​smart intralogistics solutions for intelligent Automation.

Montrac rail and shuttle transport system

The efficient Montrac transport system is according to the modular built up. It consists of a branched monorail system made of aluminum and various autonomously controlled transport shuttle types. These move self-centered on the monorail. They communicate with each other and with the route.

"Thanks to the intelligent high-techsteering Every autonomously controlled transport shuttle knows exactly its position and its transport destination and thus transports the right materials to the right place at the right time, ”says Martin Claussen. In addition, the decentralized system control enables the integration of Montrac in external process systems as well as the integration of an ERP system.
