Fully Automated Electric Transfer Cart for Smart Factory Logistics


A Fully Automated Electric Transfer Cart is designed for smart factories that require unmanned, high-precision, and system-integrated material transport. Equipped with PLC control, sensors, and communication modules, this type of electric transfer cart can automatically execute transport tasks based on production schedules and logistics commands.
Fully automated electric transfer carts eliminate manual intervention, reduce labor dependency, and ensure consistent material flow between production lines, warehouses, and processing stations. They can operate on rails or trackless paths and seamlessly integrate with conveyors, elevators, robotic systems, and overhead cranes.
This solution is ideal for manufacturers upgrading toward Industry 4.0 and intelligent intralogistics.
Fully automated electric transfer carts are widely deployed in automated production environments:
Automotive & EV Manufacturing – body shop, assembly line logistics
Automated Warehouses – pallet transfer and line feeding
Steel & Heavy Industry – unmanned high-load material transport
Machinery & Equipment Plants – synchronized production flow
Paint Shops & Surface Treatment Lines – automated process transport
Smart Factory Projects – MES/WMS integrated logistics systems
Their autonomous operation enables higher throughput and better production predictability.
