WAREHOUSE AUTOMATION
Conveyor & Sortation Solutions
Conveyor and sortation systems efficiently transport and sort products or packages in a production or distribution operation. The type of package determines whether mechanical arms, or non-mechanical systems are used.
Rigid & Flexible Packages Sortation
Rigid and flexible packages sortation" involves sorting packages by their physical properties. Rigid packages, like boxes and containers, are sorted using mechanical systems such as conveyor belts and robotic arms. Flexible packages, including bags and mailers, require alternative methods like air-blast or non-mechanical systems using air jets for direction.
Mixed Packages Sortation
Mixed packages sortation involves sorting packages with varying sizes, shapes, and weights simultaneously. Technologies used include chutes for smaller packages, cross-belt sorters with perpendicular belts for directing packages off the main line, and air-blast systems that use air jets for guidance.
Pallet Conveyor Systems
Pallet conveyor systems transport goods on pallets using a series of durable conveyors designed to handle heavy weights. These systems consist of connected conveyors, creating a continuous path for pallets. Conveyor belts, made of rubber, plastic, or metal, can be motor-powered or gravity-driven, depending on the application.
Vertical Conveyor Systems
Vertical conveyor systems efficiently move products or packages vertically between warehouse levels, optimizing space utilization and enhancing material handling processes. These systems can be reciprocating, continuous, or spiral conveyors. Their primary advantage is space optimization, as moving products vertically reduces the required floor space.

AUTOMATED & CONVEYOR SORTATION SOLUTIONS
Adding conveyors and sortation to an operation can be a powerful way to improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and increase productivity. Conveyors can be used to move products, materials, and packages from one point to another, while sortation systems can automatically sort items based on various criteria such as destination, size, weight, and shape. Together, these technologies can significantly reduce the time and effort required to move items through a facility, whether in a warehouse, distribution center, manufacturing plant, or other operation.
