How to Choose the Best Distribution Center Conveyor Systems for Your Facility
A conveyor system is a significant investment in your operations, so there are multiple factors to consider when selecting the right one for your facility, including:
- Prioritize safety: Whether you're moving heavy units or lightweight items, safety is paramount. It's advisable to conduct a facility survey to ensure the safest possible routing and system placement. You should also pay careful attention to a system's built-in security measures and their effectiveness.
- Consider your stock: Some product types, like fragile or irregularly shaped units, require unique material handling needs. Products in different sizes can also pose challenges. The option you pick should offer the maximum protection against damage and the most versatility for your individual stock mix.
- Analyze your needs and goals: There are several ways to help narrow the options further while ensuring support for continued growth. For example, you'll have to consider a system's footprint, expansion possibility and whether it's compatible with your warehouse's floor space. If not, an overhead or custom-designed solution could work. A computer-generated simulation can help you visualize these alternatives for better decision-making.
- Match your throughput: Facilities with high-volume processing need systems that can keep up with operations. You also have to make sure the conveyor solution you choose doesn't compromise product integrity in favor of speed. Aligning your warehouse's throughput with the system's efficiency and handling ensures customer satisfaction through faster processing and undamaged items.
