Since the invention of the copper conductor rail, VAHLE stood for technical progress. With the Smart Collector, we developed the world’s first intelligent current collector. Its sensors monitor the movement data of the current collector and, due to the IDA-Anaylse method, detect anomalies soon enough to avoid unplanned downtimes.
With the learning system, which was specially developed for EMS and AS/RS systems, we strengthen our promise of quality.
The Smart Collector acts as an efficiency boost for your intralogistics processes.
Increasing productivity Sustainable cost reduction Reduction of reaction times Minimization of downtimes Increase in service quality Reduction of storage costs Planning reliability
3D sensors adapted to the current collector arms record the movements (stroke and deflection data) of the current collector during operation. The function of the current collector is not affected in any way. The data is transmitted to the main unit for analysis.
Measurement data is processed and evaluated using the Intelligent Dynamic Anomaly Analysis (IDAA) method. This is done in real time directly on the main unit. The system has variable interfaces and is compatible with various positioning and data transmission systems.
If the main unit detects reproducible anomalies, a message is transmitted to our certified data center via the data transmission (e.g. LTE or SMGM). A permanent transmission or storage does not take place.
The analyzed measurement data are visualized by means of VAHLE software solutions and enable plant operators to perform ongoing condition monitoring as well as various service options, which can be called up digitally using any terminal device.
