Among the material handling system, EMS (Electric Monorail System), which is the facility of transferring the material hanging on truss, has the strength point of the maximum utilization of working space and the improvement of working environment including low-level noise generation. This paper will introduce the variable method of EMS rail analysis, which has the main role of supporting the whole material weight and guiding them with high-speed transportation, and, based on the analysis, the direction of optimization of the rail design be described. The rail with light-weight and high-strength contributes the reduction of the load of truss, the cost-down of rail production and the easy-installation on site.
