Spain's Singular Logistics Launches Overhead Electric Rail System, Achieving Automated Handling of 1,500 kg

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Singular Logistics has launched an overhead electric rail system along with autonomous vehicles O-RGV (Overhead Rail Guided Vehicle) and OHT (Overhead Hoist Transport), enabling 24/7 fully automated handling of 1,500 kg loads without operators or batteries, consuming only 350 watts of energy.

Current human- and floor-based intralogistics models are reaching their limits, with labor costs growing faster than productivity gains, and companies still struggling to fill operational and technical positions. The OHT, equipped with a lifting system, can perform loading and unloading at different heights, transferring transport that originally occupied corridors to above the production lines.

The system achieves 100% automation and can integrate with ERP, WMS, and MES. It features a modular plug-and-play design, allowing capacity expansion without reprogramming. Typical case studies include: a textile industry client utilizing vertical space for automated overhead storage in a space-constrained factory; Pfizer-Zoetis eliminating human factors through overhead automation in areas with strict hygiene and safety requirements; Johnson Controls-Hitachi enhancing production flexibility and ergonomics on assembly lines; Gestamp replacing manual milk-run operations with an automated overhead system to achieve error-free internal transport between warehouse and production; and Ormazabal eliminating forklift traffic in shared corridor areas through automated overhead transport.

These cases demonstrate that the system can save floor space, eliminate risks, and expand production without the need for factory building extensions. In 2025, Singular Logistics will showcase the system at Intralogistics VLC, Pick&Pack Bilbao, and Logistics & Automation exhibitions. Companies can schedule visits to its facilities in Barcelona, where the technical team provides personalized analysis.
