  B&R’s low-maintenance technology is based on 14 years of field experience and offers the industry-proven reliability required for today’s competitive 24/7 production environments. The systems are designed for extremely low MTTR rates and ensure maximum uptime. Segments and movers can be easily exchanged without disassembling the track.
Scalability and seamless robotic integrationIn the era of smart manufacturing, integration of automation and IT ecosystems is no longer an option but an absolute requirement. Low-latency, hard real-time synchronisation with all types of servo axes including CNC and robotic systems guarantees high-precision, high-quality production output. B&R’s transport technology is based on a highly decentralised architecture that allows extensive track lengths to accommodate the requirements of any machine.
Collaboration with ATSB&R is using the SuperTrak linear track conveyance system from the Canadian company ATS Automation in order to advance the next generation of industrial transport technology and strongly enhance the market penetration of this exciting technology. With many years of practical experience implementing its SuperTrak technology, ATS perfectly complements B&R’s automation expertise and core competencies in signal and power electronics, motor design and software. B&R’s service-friendly intelligent transport technology combines optimised productivity and flexibility with industrial-grade reliability to ensure maximum uptime.
