Monorail Design
Monorails are cost efficient production systems that move material through specific paths in a process line.
Monorail systems utilize horizontal and vertical curves allowing for elevation changes within the line,
effectively moving the product through the facility.
Monorails & Lean Manufacturing Principles
A monorail system is effective because it moves the material through a facility without impending on space plan utilization or floor traffic.
Monorails also create less re-handling of equipment, one of the first principles of lean manufacturing, thereby reducing chances of accident or injury while lifting or bending to move material.
