A box is removed from a packing station, carried 10 or 15 metres to a storage area and placed down. The operator walks back and repeats the same process hundreds of times during a shift.<\/p>\n
For the employee, it is simply part of the job. For the company, it represents hours of paid labour spent on an operation that adds no value to the product.<\/p>\n
This is why internal material handling is often one of the most practical areas to automate.<\/p>\n
For boxes, plastic containers, crates, pallets and other loads with a stable base, one of the simplest solutions is a roller conveyor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A roller conveyor consists of a series of rollers that support and move the load.<\/p>\n Its role, however, can extend far beyond basic transportation.<\/p>\n A properly designed roller conveyor system can:<\/p>\n This is why a conveyor should not be specified by length alone.<\/p>\n The first question should be: where is time currently being lost in the material flow?<\/strong><\/p>\n Suppose moving one box and returning to the workstation takes 25 seconds.<\/p>\n For 800 boxes per shift:<\/p>\n 800 \u00d7 25 seconds = approximately 5.6 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n The work may be shared between several employees, but the total amount of labour remains the same.<\/p>\n Installing a roller conveyor between two permanent workstations removes much of this unnecessary walking. The operator places the box on the conveyor and immediately returns to productive work.<\/p>\n Small improvements like this can have a significant impact without requiring complex robotics.<\/p>\n A gravity roller conveyor<\/strong> is the simplest option.<\/p>\n Products are moved manually or by gravity when the conveyor is installed at a slight incline. These systems work well around packing stations, order picking zones, receiving areas and dispatch points.<\/p>\n A powered roller conveyor<\/strong> is used when products need to move automatically.<\/p>\n It can provide controlled speed, automatic stopping, accumulation zones and integration with sensors, barcode scanners, weighing systems and other machinery.<\/p>\n The maximum load is not the only parameter that matters when designing a roller conveyor.<\/p>\n The minimum product size can be just as important.<\/p>\n A box should remain supported by several rollers during transportation. If the roller pitch is too large, smaller packages may tilt or become unstable.<\/p>\n Engineering therefore starts with:<\/p>\n One of the advantages of roller conveyor technology is scalability.<\/p>\n A company may start with a few metres of conveyor between packing and storage.<\/p>\n Later, the system can develop into:<\/p>\n roller conveyor \u2192 barcode scanner \u2192 weighing \u2192 accumulation \u2192 sorting \u2192 dispatch.<\/strong><\/p>\n The same principle can therefore support both a small production line and a large distribution centre.<\/p>\n KONSORT designs and manufactures powered and gravity roller conveyors, flexible expandable conveyors, roller inspection tables, conveyor lines for boxes and complete material handling systems.<\/p>\n Roller systems are widely used in:<\/p>\n Wherever the same type of load repeatedly follows the same route, there is usually an opportunity to improve the process.<\/p>\n A useful rule is simple: if an employee carries the same type of product along the same route dozens or hundreds of times during a shift, the operation is worth analysing.<\/p>\n Automation does not necessarily mean installing a large automated warehouse.<\/p>\n Sometimes a few metres of properly designed roller conveyor can remove hundreds of unnecessary movements every day.<\/p>\n Manufacturing companies like to talk about robotics, artificial intelligence, automated warehouses and sorting systems. Yet between two modern machines there may still be a person manually carrying a box. As long as that is happening, the best investment may be much simpler than a robot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Real automation often starts with these small, repetitive processes.<\/p>\n KONSORT develops roller conveyors and complete conveyor systems around the actual product, required throughput and facility layout \u2014 from a single workstation to a complete internal logistics system.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Roller conveyors and turnkey conveyor systems: improving internal logistics A box is removed from a packing station, carried 10 or 15 metres to a storage area and placed down.
