The Japanese
term “Mizusumashi” means “water strider”.
In a similar way as the water strider insect glides
over the water’s surface, Mizusumashi trains
move just as quickly and silently through the
production facilities. These tugger trains ensure
the continuous supply of shopfloor workers
with materials and parts at their workstations.
Compared with forklifts, Mizusumashi trains
increase the cycle times of the material flow and
facilitate more efficient and safer production.
