An inductive electrified monorail system (EMS) with non-contact power and data transmission works without wearing parts. Appropriate for such applications as production, assembly and distribution/warehousing, the EMS is comprised of an integrated power/data line in the rail and pick-ups on the vehicle. The drive power is passed to the vehicle as induced current when the pick-ups pass through the magnetic field created by a local converter. The data is modulated into the carrier frequency and demodulated by the vehicle control. The lack of contact between the power/data line and the pick-ups results in no dust being created from wearing brushes.
