The support systems technology connects the production, preparation and
order areas to create increased system efficiency. Decisive factors in
the selection of the support systems are the path connections, the
distances between the positions to be controlled, the required transport
tasks and the requirements of the system itself.
It is common sense that space availability also plays a crucial role in
deciding for the right support system. Depending on the importance of
each of the above factors, pallet support systems, electrical trolley
conveyor systems or driverless / remote transport systems are taken into
operation.
