Swisslog repositioned its monorail system under the new name FastMove, which reflects enhanced customer value, with a focus on performance, flexibility, and improved equipment lifecycle for long-distance pallet transport.
FastMove is a high-capacity electrified monorail system designed to move palletized goods efficiently across complex warehouse environments.
“FastMove represents the next step in the evolution of monorail technology at Swisslog,” says Giovanni Franco, product manager, pallet transportation at Swisslog. “By combining high performance with modular scalability and cost efficiency, we provide our customers with a future-ready solution that supports growth, modernization, and long-term operational excellence.”
Key takeaways:
· This next-generation monorail solution enables companies to optimize material flow over long distances while maintaining high throughput and gentle handling of goods.
· FastMove allows customers to significantly increase throughput, with transport speeds of up to 2 m/s and system capacities exceeding 600 pallets per hour.
· FastMove is ideal for applications requiring long transport distances or high throughput. Its ability to transport large volumes over extended distances with fewer system components contributes to reduced installation and operational costs, while also improving space utilization within the warehouse.
· The system allows customers to adapt their intralogistics infrastructure as business requirements evolve. Its modular track design supports complex layouts and can be adjusted with minimal effort.
· Its components are well suited for modernization and retrofit projects, enabling customers to upgrade performance and extend the service life of their intralogistics infrastructure without requiring a complete system replacement.
· FastMove operates in environments from deep-freeze temperatures of -30°C to ambient conditions of up to 50°C and handles loads of up to 1,500-3,000 kg with twin-load configurations. These capabilities make it a versatile solution for the food and beverage, consumer goods, and retail sectors.
