History

[edit]

Telelift was founded in 1964 in Munich. In the same year, the first of numerous patents was granted for an electric track vehicle system.[1] It has reached many places in areas/continents such as Europe, America, Asia, Middle East, and Australia/Oceania. A professional distribution brought hundreds of so-called "UniCar" systems to many hospitals, libraries,[2] and administration buildings. HSBC headquarters for example in London and Hong Kong operate large Telelift systems with hundreds of transport trolleys.[citation needed]

A second product line was an AGV (automated guided vehicle) called "TransCar" which was installed from 1974 – 2012 in dozens of hospitals in Europe and Asia.

In 1989, Thyssen bought Telelift GmbH,[3] integrated its own library automation system type "MultiLift" and added the Siemens track system type Simacom VT.[4] In 1999, a Swiss company bought Telelift GmbH and integrated it into their healthcare solutions group. In 2012, Telelift GmbH was sold and is privately owned again.[5]

To date, more than 1,300 Telelift systems have been installed in over 40 countries.

Products

[edit]

Telelift develops and produces rail-bound conveying systems for transporting goods of up to 50 kg in buildings and production plants.All systems utilise a three-dimensional traffic routing, with 100% system monitoring and Industry 4.0 qualified implementation.

Healthcare has the largest market share. About 500 systems have been installed in hospitals, to increase hygiene standards and significantly drop the number of lower-educated transportation staff.[citation needed]

Other markets are libraries with more than 250,000 books, administration buildings with security demand, and industry applications (automotive and food industries).
