Conveyors can help make this a reality. Computerized storage systems complement worker efforts, improve operations, and generally allow for more efficient use of space.
 

 

4 main benefits of conveyor installation:

 

1 - Fast delivery


Warehouse conveyors are computer controlled and designed to deliver item selections quickly. No need for your workforce to search between shelves, climb up and down ladders. They just need to enter the code or scan the barcode and the carousel will go directly to them moments later. A single worker with a set of conveyor belts can do the work of many people in a traditional warehouse.
 

2 - Better use of space


When your conveyor is doing the hard work of finding and retrieving items, you'll have less need for heavy machinery like forklifts. This allows you to pack more items into the space you have. They don't save space like some other automation options, such as vertical conveyors, but they can still reclaim a lot of floor space.
 

3 - Choose the correct item


The computerized picking system is 99.9% accurate or higher, can you tell your workers? It is very difficult for a horizontal conveyor to pick up the wrong item, especially when most systems are responsible for storing the item in the first place. It "remembers" where it puts each item, all the time. This makes mistakes unlikely, without human intervention.
 

4 - Safer for workers


Warehouses are dangerous places to work, but why is that still true when investing in technology that can make them so much safer? When robotic applications handle the job of finding, retrieving, and moving items around, there's less chance of your employees getting hurt.
