Sortiersysteme sind ein essenzieller Bestandteil der Intralogistik, um Warenströme gezielt zu steuern und die Effizienz der Prozesse zu maximieren. Die richtige Auswahl und Anpassung von Sorting-Komponenten ist darum entscheidend für eine flexible, zuverlässige und kosteneffiziente Förderlogistik. Mit Festo realisieren Sie vollautomatisierte Fördersysteme mit maximaler Durchsatzleistung, ohne dabei Kompromisse bei der Präzision oder Zuverlässigkeit einzugehen.
An automated conveyor system is a mechanical device that automates the transport of goods, products or materials in a warehouse, production facility or logistics environment. It moves items efficiently between different points and is able to control and optimise processes, which in turn increases productivity and reduces manual labour.
There are different types of conveyor systems, including belt conveyors, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, vibratory conveyors and modular systems. Each type is designed for specific transport requirements, from light, fast goods to heavy loads, and can fulfil different functions such as sorting, distributing or collecting.
Conveyor systems work by moving conveyor belts, rollers or chains that are driven by motors or pneumatic drives. Sensors and control units ensure that the goods take the required route and stop at the designated points or are transported onwards. Modern systems are often equipped with automation technologies to control the material flow precisely and efficiently.
