Conveyor systems in your Distribution Center
If you’ve already decided to implement a conveyor system design in your company, it is very important to pay special attention in every area of the Distribution Center, such as:
- Receiving area. Here, a suitable conveyors’ installation can help you to unload products in a quick and ergonomic way that will not only take care of your product but also the operators, the system and the information exchange as a whole. Once the product is unloaded, the conveyor system will help you to move products towards the next process.
- Storage area. If you want to storage products, a conveyor system will help you with the sorting and handling processes. Thanks to the automated tools such as barcodes and labels, it is possible to classify products by item, weight, expiry date or textures and obtain an optimal storage within the different automated warehouses available.
- Assortment area. A strategic conveyor system assists this area because it can pass through other different areas such as picking, full-boxes, items or full-pallet handling area. Therefore, at the time that the general shipping is obtained, there is a higher productivity level in the operation.
- Shipping area. Conveyors will help you to have a clean and smooth shipping area. It is useless to have finished products ready to be loaded into the truck if they are damaged and reduced their quality during the process. Thanks to the conveyors’ work efficiency, shipping area can be faster and more careful. It is important to focus in every related detail, such as the volume of received and delivered product in real time, so the operation can be highly productive and able to provide the necessary information for analyzing and improving the service quality offered to your clients.
Keep in mind that every implementation made is aimed to reach the clients’ full satisfaction; from the moment they place an order to the moment they received it at the door or in-store. Conveyor systems are helpful tools designed to provide efficiency, ergonomics and productivity to your operation.
Do not invest on intralogisctics designs that are not offering a secure return of investment. Choose a business partner that offers a detailed analysis of your operations, provides a proposal with a virtual tour of the implementations suggested, that works along with you during the execution and training processes and most importantly in post-sale service because after all, you must have a fully-working operation at all times.
