Respond to changing market demands for new, customized products.
Keep your production processes efficient, ensure that machines are optimally utilized, and shorten delivery times while maintaining maximum flexibility. All of this is only possible if you can modify your production processes without much effort.
With the Multicarrier System MCS® from Festo, you can do just that. This is because the innovative transport system can be easily and quickly adapted to different formats, sizes, and product types during production operations. This optimizes machine utilization because you can reconfigure the system extremely quickly with this transport solution.
Sophisticated engineering tools and modular hardware, together with our customized consulting and comprehensive expertise, provide a high degree of flexibility and at the same time simplicity for innovative and highly cost-effective solutions throughout the engineering process.

Greater Freedom Thanks to Flexible Transport
State-of-the-art production processes often necessitate breaking apart the rigid interlinking of conventional transfer systems. Our Multicarrier System can make your production processes more flexible. It provides the necessary freedom within the machine while simultaneously giving you a competitive edge in the market.
This is because MCS ® breaks the rigid interlinking of conventional transport routes – it is modular and freely scalable and can therefore be combined seamlessly with traditional conveyor technology in your facility. The MCS ® allows you to precisely adapt your machines to process requirements and a wide variety of configurations, for example if you have to frequently switch products on a line. Or if you want to combine different process cycles on one line. In other words, wherever you need to keep your production processes as flexible as possible in order to optimize system utilization and respond to requirements quickly. This enables you to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum effort.
MCS®: Format Selection at the Push of a Button via Software
For Continuously Processing Different Packaging Formats on a Single Line
The different sizes and numbers of boxes as well as different product groupings are set up directly on the MCS® with the freely positionable carriers. The MCS® is also used to flexibly convey the products being packaged to the top loader or side loader.
