The new and innovative Multi-Carrier-System MCS® makes your production lines extremely flexible. It is easy to integrate into existing intralogistics and facilitates extremely modular transport solutions for cost-effective production, from a batch size of 1 to mass production.
You can only maintain the efficiency of production lines, ensure optimised machine utilisation and reduce delivery times with maximum flexibility if you can adjust your production processes without huge amounts of effort.
With the Multi-Carrier-System MCS® from Festo, you can do precisely that. The innovative transport system can be quickly and easily adapted to different formats, sizes and product types during operation. This optimises machine utilisation because changeovers are extremely fast with this transport solution.
Sophisticated engineering tools and modular hardware, together with our individually tailored advice and comprehensive expertise offer a high degree of flexibility. They also provide a simple approach for innovative and highly economical solutions throughout the engineering process.

The innovative Multi-Carrier-System MCS® from Festo and Siemens enables AS Automation to achieve a very compact system design with maximum dynamic response and precision in operation at the same time. The modular transport system can move each carrier individually, flexibly and dynamically. This makes it ideal for short-cycle applications, e.g. in assembly systems. Watch the video to find out more.
Modern production processes often require that the rigid chains of conventional transfer systems are broken up. With our Multi-Carrier-System your production processes can be made more flexible. It provides the necessary freedom within the machine, while giving you a competitive edge in the market.
The MCS® breaks up the rigid chain of conventional transport routes. It has a modular design and is freely scalable, so it can be seamlessly combined with the conventional conveyor technology in your system. The MCS® allows you to adapt your machines precisely to the process requirements and a wide variety of configurations, for example if you frequently have to change products on a line. Or if you’d like to combine different process cycle times on a single production line. In order words, wherever you need to keep your production processes as flexible as possible in order to optimise system utilisation and respond quickly to requirements. This enables you to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum effort.
The various sizes, numbers of boxes and different product groups are set up directly on the MCS® using the freely positionable carriers. The products to be packaged are also transported flexibly to the top loader or side loader by the MCS®.
Find out everything about the MCS® technology, possible section layouts and special, predefined MCS® configurations, and discover many application examples.
Our guide shows clearly how you can make your machines more flexible, reduce process time and – last but not least – significantly increase the overall productivity of the system. The brochure provides valuable information on how you can maintain and even increase your competitiveness through the intelligent use of services and software tools, simple engineering processes and efficient implementation, from the system and process design through to the operation of the machine or system.
