FastPlant is a modular, cost-efficient transport system for assembly lines that enables higher production rates within moving or pulsing line concepts. It is widely used in the aerospace sector for the assembly of aircraft, sections or engines. The system is designed to allow clean floor production concepts. FastPlant possess a lifting unit to guarantee ergonomic working levels for the workers. Specific product adapters can be attached. The specially developed software and monitoring system control the production flow and report actual product data as well as fault history. The modular system is very flexible and can easily be extended or relocated. The standardized modules can integrate media, energy and data connections (if required by the process).
