Celluveyor Highly Flexible and Modular Conveying and Positioning System based on Omnidirectional Technology The cellular conveyor Celluveyor for short is a modular conveyor and positioning system based on a novel concept of conveyor technology. The pat- ented system developed at BIBA consists of numerous small hexagonal conveyor modules equipped with omnidirectional wheels, each powered by its own electric drive. The special arrangement of the wheels and the targeted activation of the engines make it possible to move objects independently on any desir- able track. The modules can be assembled without much ado to yield universally applicable conveying surfaces of any desirable dimension and geometry. Only one single system accomplishes all tasks essential in conveyor technology on a small surface, e.g. moving, segregat- ing and reuniting, changing the transport direction and orientation, or clustering of packing units. The modular construction principle and the omnidirec- tional conveyor modules replace almost all types of intralogistic systems, even if they are characterized by very complex forms and functions.
