Material Flow Solutions

Conveying solutions to aid transport, buffering, and tracking of goods

Any type of goods movement in a distribution or manufacturing operation that is performed repetitively is worth automating. The higher the volume of movement the greater the advantage. Material flow solutions using conveyors are a highly effective means of moving goods between work functions.  They offer real time tracking of goods and can add value by checking, weighing, wrapping and sorting goods.

 

Dematic Material flow solutions can dramatically improve logistics system operation by eliminating labor, improving service levels and increasing operator productivity.

Moving Product Between Processes

Whether you are handling pallets, cases, totes or trays, Dematic has the range and expertise to deliver a highly efficient material flow solution.

 

All Dematic conveyors can be integrated with other handling devices such as AS/RS, transfer cars and sorters to provide controlled and reliable material flow. 

Inline Buffer and Accumulation

Not all goods can be fed from one process to another at a consistent rate to suit both processes. Dematic has developed a range of conveyors that absorb surges in supply and provide an effective buffer between processes ensuring smooth operation.

Merging and Diverting for Balanced Workload

Although merging conveyor lines between operations means that you need to sort goods out again, Dematic solutions enable optimum transportation of goods between zones and processes. In manufacturing, multiple production lines can cost effectively merge and feed multiple palletizing stations and in distribution the output of independent picking zones could be cost effectively merged and sorted to many shipping destinations.

Material Flow Control

Distribution and manufacturing efficiency can be substantially improved with integrated material flow management. Conveyor solutions, linked to material flow software provide effective integration of material flow and order management solutions enhancing decision making and improving customer service.
