Automated Conveyor Solutions | BoxLogix Material Handling Systems

Technology Benefits

Conveyor systems are a vital component of modern material handling operations, designed to transport goods and materials efficiently across warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. These systems use various types of mechanical devices to move items along a predetermined path, ensuring smooth and reliable material flow. Conveyor systems can be tailored to meet specific operational requirements, providing solutions for sorting, merging, and accumulating products. They play a crucial role in streamlining processes, reducing manual labor, and enhancing productivity. <br>

Increased Efficiency: Conveyor systems automate the movement of materials, significantly speeding up processes and reducing handling time.
Enhanced Safety: By minimizing manual handling, conveyor systems reduce the risk of workplace injuries and create a safer working environment.
Scalability: Conveyor systems can be easily expanded or reconfigured to accommodate changes in workflow or increases in production volume.
Reliability: With consistent and predictable material movement, conveyor systems improve the reliability of operations and reduce downtime.
Cost Savings: Automating material handling processes with conveyor systems lowers labor costs and increases overall operational efficiency.

Considerations

Throughput & flow model

Peak vs. average rate (cases/min), accumulation strategy, merge/divert logic, singulation/gapping, recirculation paths.

Product & packaging range

Dimensions/weight of handling units, center of gravity, surface friction, package rigidity, barcode/label orientation requirements.

Layout & elevation

Footprint, elevations and transitions (inclines/declines), minimum curve radii, clearances, maintenance access, egress paths.

Interfaces with equipment

Printers/labelers, scanners, weigh scales, wrappers, sorters, palletizers, AS/RS, AMRs—hand-off points and buffer zones.

Controls & software

PLC platform, fieldbus (EtherNet/IP/Profinet), I/O count, device addressing, safety PLC, WCS/WMS/ERP handshakes (SKU, routes, exceptions), OEE/data logging.

Sensing & verification

Photoeyes placement, jam detection, skew/stop control, barcode/vision read rates, weight/size checks, reject lanes and exception handling.
