Warehouse And Distribution Conveyor Systems
Conveyors are now more frequently found in warehouse applications where the company is picking, checking and packing individual customer orders for dispatch and shipping.
These conveyor systems can be from basic manual systems that allow order pickers to manually push their orders through the picking process to the check / pack / despatch areas, to very smart and sophisticated systems that include and allow for automated routing of individual orders into allocated picking zones through bar code scanning and on to fully automated order recognition and sorting to dedicated delivery destinations.
In some systems, conveyors can be used to route the order picking container throughout the entire system without ever needing physical contact from an operator.
A high level of automation and control is often an integral part of the conveyor system, and can be integrated with the customer’s warehouse management system at a number of levels depending on individual requirements.
