02Handling challenges

Design around the product and process.

The conveyor layout, surface, guides and controls should be selected around the real product, transfer points and operating environment.

01

Space

Route product through available floor and vertical space without blocking people or equipment.

02

Uptime

Keep cartons, totes and components moving through high-use operations.

03

Accuracy

Control transport, accumulation and sortation between each process step.

03Applications
