A material handling and transport system for transporting goods between a number of discharge/induction stations and selectively receiving and discharging goods at the stations. A moving transport unit (24), for example a train-type string or cars (28, etc.) or trolleys with tilting trays (70, etc.) for receiving, transporting and discharging goods between induction (38) and discharge stations (52, etc.) positioned along a track (22), incorporates a number of self-contained, locally controlled sensing (58), signal (62, etc.) and actuation (30) devices which allow the trolleys to selectively interact with passive stations around the track. The centralization of systems control (54) on the trolleys themselves, as opposed to on the track-side stations, results in greater system flexibility, reduced cost, and allows the train to operate in essentially autonomous mode without the need for external control and monitoring.

Un système de manipulation et de transport de produits permet de transporter des marchandises entre un certain nombre de postes de déchargement et d'enlèvement et de recevoir et décharger les marchandises à ces postes. Une unité mobile de transport (24), c'est à dire une chaîne de convoyage, des wagonnets (28, etc.) ou des chariots de transport à plateau basculant (70, etc.), destinée à recevoir, transporter et décharger des marchandises entre des postes d'enlèvement (38) et de déchargement (52, etc.) placés le long d'une voie (22), intègre un certain nombre de dispositifs compacts à commande locale effectuant des opérations de détection (58), d'émission de signaux (62, etc.) et d'actionnement (30) qui permettent aux chariots de transport d'opérer par interaction sélective avec les postes passifs disposés autour de la voie. La centralisation de la commande (54) des systèmes à même les chariots de transport plutôt qu'au niveau des postes de bord de voie procure au système une plus grande souplesse d'utilisation, le rend moins coûteux et permet essentiellement au système de convoyage de fonctionner en mode autonome, sans nécessiter de commande ni de surveillance extérieure.
