WHY “ZipTronik”?

Mechatronics is a technology that combines mechanics, electronics, computing, and new communications technologies.

Our Zip line trolleys combine all these technologies to accomplish their task: transporting loads in an automated, controllable, and controlled manner.

The name “ZipTronik” quickly became a natural choice for our development teams.

THE CONCEPT

Our trolleys’ technology allows them to store energy during descent control and end-of-stroke braking, releasing it during the ascent phase.

This concept optimizes the battery life of ZipTronik trolleys, allowing them to complete numerous cycles without recharging.

OUR EXPERTISE

Specially designed for autonomous aerial mobility systems, our expertise lies at the intersection of onboard performance, software expertise, and industrial robustness.

The solutions we offer are autonomous, programmable, and automated trolleys.
They can recharge upon descent and return the accumulated energy upon returning to the starting point.

They can also be equipped with interchangeable batteries, for installations with low elevations, or applications requiring increased power or autonomy.

Our mechatronic trolleys are able to :

  • to program itself according to the site conditions,

  • to regulate the user’s speed to meet safety and comfort needs,

  • to guarantee that the user reaches the arrival point,

  • to return to the starting point independently, alone or bringing equipment (weight limited depending on profile),

  • to communicate with the operators (remote control and instant operating information).

For operations:

  • Savings on the truck fleet,

  • Remote truck control,

  • Real-time operating data,

  • Savings on truck retrieval costs,

  • Operation according to a recognized European standard,

  • Simplification of the operating procedure and reduction of human risk,

  • Retrieval of user equipment (helmet, harness) to the starting point,

  • Fully automated retrieval and reception phase at the starting point,

  • Adaptable speed (within operating constraints),

  • Guarantee that the user will reach the end of the travel thanks to the aiming-to-target system

Security:

  • No transport of trolleys during operation,

  • electrical and mechanical regulation of the descent speed,

  • reduction of the risk of accidents due to arduous work,

  • a single trolley on the same line, eliminating the possibility of collision,

  • cycle automation, allowing to reduce human intervention,

  • elimination of accident-prone phases of installation and removal of the trolley on the cable,

  • speed and positioning data to monitor compliance with operating limits.
