Swisslog unveils FastMove for warehouses

Swisslog has introduced its FastMove monorail system across its global operations, including Dubai, to support higher warehouse handling capacity and improve pallet movement in large logistics facilities. For Dubai, this means better handling capacity as the city continues to grow as a major logistics and distribution hub. The solution is designed to help operators manage growing cargo volumes by enabling faster and more flexible movement of palletised goods over long distances.

FastMove is a high-capacity electrified monorail system that can transport more than 600 pallets per hour at speeds of up to 2 metres per second, aimed at helping operators handle higher cargo volumes while improving flexibility in warehouse operations. The system is designed for complex warehouse environments where efficient material flow is important, particularly in sectors such as food and beverage, retail and consumer goods.

The system builds on Swisslog’s existing monorail technology and includes upgrades to improve performance, flexibility and equipment life. Its modular design allows warehouses to increase capacity by adding vehicles as demand grows, without replacing the entire system.

For Dubai, the introduction supports logistics operations in a market with growing warehouse and distribution activity. FastMove can also be used for modernisation projects, allowing existing facilities to improve controls and software while extending the life of their infrastructure.

“FastMove represents the next step in the evolution of monorail technology at Swisslog,” said Giovanni Franco, Product Manager, Pallet Transportation at Swisslog. “By combining high performance with modular scalability and cost efficiency, we provide our customers with a future-ready solution that supports growth, modernization, and long-term operational excellence.”

The system integrates with Swisslog’s SynQ software platform to support data-based warehouse operations and improve coordination between automated and manual processes.
