Overhang Assembly Line
Automated Electrified Monorail
System (EMS)

Overhang  is an Assembly Line created according to the start-stop movement of the assembly trays throughout the several working areas. The tray is suspended in and slides along an electrified rail (EMS – Electrified Monorail System). Several platforms may be placed along this line, in different levels, allowing perfect working area ergonomics. Its high flexibility enables the creation of working areas outside the central line for miscellaneous works like: rework; tray replacement and tray changes or modifications. Tray placement and positioning allows working on both sides, therefore ensuring higher assembly process flexibility and a higher line reference diversity. This line is laid out to ensure the frontal availability of components to be used during an assembly, assuring optimal ergonomics levels for the operators.
