Abstract
A trolley system for the entertainment industry can receive power and control signals wirelessly. The trolley system can be wirelessly powered by an inductive power transfer system that is associated with the support member the trolley travels along. The trolley system can use a leaky feeder system for the wireless exchange of data, information and control instructions with an automation and motion and control system. The trolley can include additional components, e.g., a winch, that also receive power and control signals wirelessly.
