Choosing The Right Conveyor Systems
2
Choosing the right conveyor system can be a
massive task for the professionals of warehouse
or distribution center. In the process of
attempting to identify, develop and purchase the
"ideal" material handling system, managers and
planners often face a series of dilemmas.
3
Both conventional wisdom and the traditional
mindset which have erroneously devalued the use
of conveyors over time, regarding them as little
more than non-value added equipment that does
nothing more than moving the products through a
warehouse or distribution center. This is why
conveyors are typically the last element
considered in the process planning cycle.
4
As discussed before the conveyors are among the
last equipment purchased because the purchase
decisions are often based on the initial
acquisition cost and not on the basis of total
acquisition cost or the overall value. This type
of common view on "commoditizing" conveyors is
full of risk and exposure during the operation.
5
The wrong conveyor type or a suitable type of
conveyor applied incorrectly for the wrong
reasons can quickly undermine the operating
efficiency and long-term strategy of warehouse or
distribution centers which often leads in
dissolving profitability or stripping a company
of its competitive advantages.
6
Depending on the operation, the product to be
handled and the application requirements and
systems can vary from very simplistic to
extremely complex products to move. Even though
there are various type of equipments are
available to satisfy the need of the application.
7
The best mindset when considering a conveyor
system is to be sure that the system is designed
with specific characteristics in mind like Ease
of adaptability to changing needs, Operational
safety, Reliable and requires only minimal
maintenance, Energy efficient and designed around
"green" principles and most important of all is
that it is cost effective in operation.
8
The common requirements for conveyor systems in
all the warehouse and distribution environments
are to transport the product between successive
steps in the fulfilment process and also to
provide accumulation buffers throughout the
process to allow the workflow balancing when
considering the different processing rates which
are associated with each step in the process.
9
Accumulation buffers can also enable ongoing
production during the localized backups or
downtime elsewhere downstream in the process.
Modularity is the feature which explains about
the regardless of the type of conveyor required
and look for modularity.
10
Select the type of conveyors that feature
pre-engineered sections, modules, and components
that can be freely combined to provide an initial
customized layout, but if necessary it can also
be easily reconfigured. Flexibility explains
about the search of conveyors that can easily
accommodate several product sizes and
specifically for greater widths.
11
Also look for conveyors that can satisfy today's
demands and also accommodate future throughput of
growth requirements. Safety explains the certain
types of conveyors include built-in safety
features, while others may require additional
guarding to protect employees who directly
interface with the equipment.
