Reduce Costs & Setup Time of Package Handling & Conveying Equipment

The smooth flow of products through a fulfillment center is key to ensuring the fast and accurate delivery of goods consumers have come to expect.

Setting up conveying and sortation systems and sub-systems is no easy task, especially when the system is complex such as in large e-commerce fulfillment centers. Smaller sized orders or mixed pallets with a much wider array of SKUs are now commonplace at distribution warehouses.

Sortation systems can be made up of multiple types of material handling solutions such as conveyors, product flow components, automatic identification products, automated sorters, diverters, elevators and more.

All of these automation components and sub-systems must inter-operate. The ability of these modular sub-systems to communicate with each other and with other parts of the operation are growing in complexity.
