Designed for change. Powered by flexibility.

Conventional transport systems often rely on fixed sequences, making it difficult to respond efficiently to changing products, formats and production requirements. Machine builders need greater flexibility without compromising productivity, while keeping engineering effort and time to market under control.

Siemens combines SIMATIC Motion Control, SINAMICS drives, SIMATIC HMI, and integrated engineering in TIA Portal to simplify machine development and operation. From simulation and design optimization to diagnostics and commissioning, we cover the entire life cycle of Flexible conveyance solutions. Together with leading mechatronic partners, we help manufacturers implement scalable, reliable, and adaptable production concepts.

Simplify flexible conveyance integration

Together with Festo, SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ and Planar Motor Inc., We combine innovative transport technologies, automation expertise, and integrated simulation tools to help machine builders create flexible production concepts, address technical challenges early, and accelerate commissioning.

Increase production flexibility with MCS®

The Multi-Carrier-System (MCS®), co-developed with our mechatronic partner Festo, enables independent, precise carrier movement for highly flexible production processes. Its dynamic transport capabilities support changing products, formats, and process requirements, making it ideal for applications such as battery production, assembly, filling, and packaging.

Integrated with Siemens automation and motion control solutions, MCS® supports advanced functions such as conveyor tracking, axis synchronization, variable stops, and synchronized continuous and cyclic movements. Combining SINAMICS S120, SIMATIC, and TIA Portal, it simplifies engineering while supporting simulation, validation, and virtual commissioning. Additional tools, including the MCS® Toolbox and Modular Application Creator, help manufacturers reduce engineering effort, accelerate machine development, and respond faster to changing production demands.
