WAREHOUSING

Conveyors in a warehouse are typically semi or fully-automated material handling systems used to transport goods and materials from one location to another within the facility. They consist of various components such as belts, rollers and motors, and can be configured to suit different warehouse layouts and workflows. 

Some conveyors may also use gravity to their advantage, making them a cost-effective purchase decision, but their application needs to be carefully considered as they might not be the best long-term solution. 

Gravity conveyors on a horizontal plane require labour to drive product across the system, which can result in a significantly reduced ROI.

The purpose of a conveyor in a warehouse is to make the movement of goods and materials throughout the facility much easier and safer than carrying them manually. 

For example, conveyors may be involved in moving packages from receiving and storage areas to picking and shipping stations. 

Conveyors not only help streamline warehouse operations and reduce manual labour, but they also help streamline productivity, cutting down on accidents and speeding up work in your facility overall.

The type of conveyor system mostly used in warehouses depends on the specific requirements of the facility. 

However, some common types of conveyor systems used in warehouses include gravity roller conveyors, powered roller conveyors, belt conveyors, and automated sortation systems. 

These systems are typically chosen based on factors such as space constraints and budget considerations, both of which we can factor in when building a custom solution for your warehouse.
