In the age of automation, companies are constantly looking for ways to automate their warehouse processes. Conveyor systems can be used in almost any process, and as tech changes as too does conveyor capabilities. These systems are used in conveyor food processing, medical or surgical manufacturing, agriculture, distribution and warehousing and virtually any other industry requiring the sortation and conveyance of material.

Some of the conveyor systems we offer include: zero pressure conveyors, 24-volt conveyors, food grade conveyors and more!

Here are 5 reasons companies are turning to warehouse conveyor systems.

1. Movement of Goods Become Automated

With the introduction of conveyors, delivering materials around warehouses become autonomous. With the movement of goods becoming automated, that minimizes the amount of manpower that is needed for the simple task of movement and can free them up to work in more necessary areas.

2. Processes Become More Efficient

When a company implements conveyors in their warehouses most of its processes become more efficient. Whether it’s the movement of goods around the warehouse or the assembly of finished goods, these processes become quicker and more efficient when conveyors are involved. Conveyors can be a great fix for companies that are struggling to meet demand and need a quicker turnaround.

3. Higher Level of Workplace Safety

With conveyors decreasing the need for human interaction in many processes, that lends itself to reduce the risk of injury on the job. Automating these repeated and oftentimes strenuous processes cut down on the wear and tear of your employees and can make your workplace a safer environment. In some industries, such as food processing or medical, minimizing human contact with the products being conveyed has other safety benefits such as reduced risk of spoilage or breakage.

4. Higher Accuracy & Reliability

Conveyors can cut out the ‘human error’ aspect of manufacturing. By automating these processes, you are creating a reliable, repeatable, automated process by which your products are assembled, delivered and packed. Additionally, conveyor scales, machine vision & industrial barcode readers can be incorporated into these systems to collect data and analyze your manufacturing efforts.

5. Maximize Floor Space

Finally, conveyors can make the most out of the space you have. Conveyor systems can be customized to fit any area and can be built around obstacles to maximize your warehouse space. These conveyors can be ceiling hung or stacked to make sure you are taking advantage of your allotted space.

For managers looking to automate their warehouses, conveyors can be a great first step in the process. Conveyors can lend to other automated solutions like robotics system integration, industrial robots, automated wrappers, and scales.
