SL-100 OHT
Light Load Transport System with Vertical Lowering to the Operating Level
DESCRIPTION AND MAINTENANCE
The SL-100 OHT (Overhead Hoist Transport) system from Singular Logistics is based on a FLEXITRACK overhead rail featuring vehicles equipped with a decentralized autonomous control system that allows them to operate independently. Each vehicle carries a complete map of the circuit (E-MAP) and communicates with the other vehicles via Wi-Fi, determining the fastest and most efficient routes based on both incoming transport requests and current traffic conditions. The system is fully configurable and requires zero programming for each application, including route modifications and system expansions.
Unlike conventional systems that rely on expensive materials such as aluminium, FLEXITRACK overhead rails are manufactured using standard IPE steel profiles, providing a significantly more cost-effective solution. Crossings and intersections are managed by static switches with no moving parts, motors or sensors, eliminating one of the main maintenance points found in traditional overhead rail systems. The rail operates at 48 V DC, ensuring electrical safety throughout the installation, and can be modified using conventional metalworking techniques without the need for high-precision processes or specialized equipment.
Ultimately, the SL-100 OHT system delivers the same core capabilities as traditional overhead rail systems, but at a significantly lower cost. It enables 24/7 operation without batteries, requires minimal maintenance, is simpler to install, and offers outstanding flexibility and scalability. A solution that makes competitive advantages once reserved for large-scale production facilities accessible to small and medium-sized businesses.
At Singular Logistics, we have developed an innovative, fully autonomous overhead intralogistics solution. The SL-100 OHT system is based on an advanced overhead rail featuring independent vehicles equipped with state-of-the-art decentralized autonomous control. Unlike the O-RGV, the OHT vehicle lowers itself to the operating level to perform loading and unloading operations, then returns to the overhead rail to continue its route. This eliminates the need for lifts or additional infrastructure, simplifying the installation while maximizing the use of available space.
Thanks to their autonomous operation, the vehicles continuously assess incoming transport requests and current system traffic, automatically selecting the fastest and most efficient routes. This intelligent autonomy eliminates the need for manual programming, simplifying system configuration and reducing infrastructure costs.
With Singular Logistics, you are not simply automating your processes — you are taking a step towards Industry 4.0, where efficiency, technological innovation and cost optimization are key to maintaining a competitive edge.
SL-100 OHT – LIGHT LOAD TRANSPORT SYSTEM
The SL-100 OHT is Singular Logistics’ solution specifically designed for transporting light loads of up to 100 kg in boxes of any size. Its key feature is the ability to lower to the operating level to perform loading and unloading operations without the need for additional infrastructure.
In its standard configuration, the stations are compatible with those used by the SL-100 O-RGV, including roller tables, conveyor belts, flow racks, chutes and other material handling equipment. This combines the flexibility of vertical movement with the same versatility when integrating the system into the plant.
The main advantage of the SL-100 OHT is its ability to adapt to facilities where loading and unloading stations are located at different heights, while also freeing valuable floor space within the production facility for other activities. This makes it ideal for existing facilities where a conventional transport system cannot be installed, as well as for industries requiring high levels of hygiene and cleanliness, where dedicated equipment can operate continuously without interrupting production.
