    • Secure remote service (allowing maintenance and service of the system via the internet)
    • RFID carrier tracking
    • Automatic carrier return system
    • Automatic carrier empty system
    • Empty carrier storage and call from storage
    • Slow speed for transport of sensitive goods
    • Connection to paging or building management systems for fault status
    • Connection to fire alarm system to disable tube system in case of fire

    The standard features of this systems are:

    • Secure remote service (allowing maintenance and service of the system via the internet)
    • RFID carrier tracking
    • Automatic carrier return system
