A row of rollers is equipment. A conveyor belt system becomes a system when something coordinates it; routing cartons, metering accumulation, triggering the scanner, and telling the sorter where each package goes.
Most conveyor problems are control problems, not hardware problems. We build the physical line along with the intelligence layer that runs it, so the two are engineered together instead of bolted together by separate vendors who each blame the other when something happens.
Not sure which configuration fits?
When one team handles the design, installation, and configuration, every decision stays connected from the first drawing through go-live. You get a conveyor system built around your actual floor, equipment, loads, and operating schedule.
Hardware moves boxes. Software decides where they go. Without a WCS, your conveyor is just equipment. ControlPoint WCS is the software brain behind your automation system. It bridges the gap between your WMS and the physical equipment, directing conveyors, scanners, sorters, and label applicators in real time. Your WMS knows the order. ControlPoint makes the conveyor execute it, gives you throughput you can measure, and turns a line of steel into a coordinated operation.
A conveyor system is the mechanical and control setup that moves product through a facility: belts, rollers, drives, and the software that routes and sequences everything. Together they transport, accumulate, and sort products with minimal manual handling.
A belt conveyor system moves product along the floor on a continuous belt, ideal for cases and totes. Overhead conveyor systems carry product on a track above the floor, freeing walk space where floor-level runs won't fit.
Automated conveyor systems combine transport with scanning, weighing, sortation, and label application under software control. Product moves, gets identified, and routes to the right lane or shipping door without a manual touch, driven by a warehouse control system.
Both. Our conveyor system installation services cover mechanical assembly, controls wiring, and commissioning through go-live, delivered by the same team that engineered the line, so there's no handoff and no gap in accountability.
It depends on line length, integration complexity, and whether we're phasing around live operations. Right-sized projects run in weeks, not quarters. We scope a realistic timeline up front and commit to it.
The right conveyor line depends on what you run. We build for high-velocity e-commerce fulfillment, for multi-client 3PL operations where every account has different workflows, and for manufacturing lines feeding assembly and packaging. Whatever you're running, we connect to it and design the conveyor belt system around your throughput; not the other way around.
