Swisslog TranspoNet PowerLine

Description

Key Features:

• Long-Distance Capability: Efficiently spans challenging distances from 200 to 800 meters.
• High-Capacity Transport: Allows for the timed, sequential transport of multiple carriers within a single tube, minimizing wait times in extended network sections.
• Bidirectional Parallel Processing: Systems can employ parallel PowerLines to swiftly return empty carriers, maintaining uninterrupted outgoing transport flow.
• Intelligent Separation Control: Software-driven algorithms manage the insertion and separation distance of carriers, ensuring high-speed transit without the risk of collision.
• Integrated RFID Continuity: Seamlessly maintains the track-and-trace chain as carriers transition from standard lines into the high-capacity PowerLine sections.

Benefits:

PowerLine represents the pinnacle of “future-proof” hospital logistics. It allows a facility to increase its transaction frequency by 200-300% without doubling the physical tube footprint. PowerLine solves complex geographical challenges, enabling a single, unified automated transport network across sprawling hospital campuses. It maintains high speed and throughput over long distances, ensuring urgent items like stat labs or trauma blood are delivered just as fast from a remote building as from one next door.
