Conveying & sortation systems: World-class solutions for material handling

The conveyor and sortation systems are essential for the handling of materials in the production lines since they allow transporting the products to the finished product warehouse with total safety and control.

In this scheme, the finished product is initially taken by the conveyor system, where in case of having several production lines, they are first brought together in a single line to move the product over long distances. Subsequently, by means of a sorter, these products are classified according to the production line of origin so that from there they are palletized according to the batches.

However, sortation systems have certain peculiarities, such as, for example, they have the ability to read barcodes or RFID and allow control of the production levels of each of the lines, as well as the volume of products that arrive. to the finished product warehouse.
