the world's first intelligent current collector
for electric monorail systems and stacker cranes
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 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.
3D sensors adapted to the current collector arms record the movement data of the current collector during operation. The function of the pantograph is not affected in any way. The data is transmitted to the main unit for analysis.
Measurement data is processed and evaluated in real time directly on the main unit. The flexible 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 connected router. A permanent transmission does not take place.
The analyzed measurement data is visualized by means of software and enables plant operators to perform ongoing condition monitoring as well as various service options, which can be accessed digitally using any terminal device.

As a cooperation partner, you can already convince yourself of the Smart Collector system:
You will receive a discounted inspection drive of our Smart Collector to show the defects in your plant directly.
After the inspection drive, you will receive a report on the condition of your plant and can avoid unplanned downtimes today.
As a cooperation partner, you also benefit from our workshops and further information about future developments.

Seit Erfindung der Kupferstromschiene steht VAHLE für technischen Fortschritt. Mit dem Smart Collector haben wir nun den weltweit ersten intelligenten Stromabnehmer entwickelt. Seine Sensoren erfassen die Bewegungsdaten des Stromabnehmers und erkennen Anomalien so frühzeitig, dass sich ungeplante Stillstände vermeiden lassen.
