Sorting systems are an essential part of intralogistics in order to control the flow of goods and maximize the efficiency of processes. The correct selection and adaptation of sorting components is therefore crucial for flexible, reliable and cost-efficient conveyor logistics. With Festo, you can implement fully automated conveyor systems with maximum throughput without compromising on precision or reliability.
The ongoing boom in e-commerce, increasing omnichannel logistics and the growing demand for just-in-time deliveries are placing new demands on intralogistics. Efficient sorting and conveying technology must therefore be able to react quickly, flexibly and reliably to changing products, sizes, shapes and weights. We will show you how.

Arquemino Lopes Junior, Industry Segment Manager Intralogistics at Festo, spoke about the importance of bin picking and how this function improves efficiency and flexibility in intralogistics.
Optimize your intralogistics with data-based decisions: The Festo Automation Experience (Festo AX) software uses artificial intelligence to extract the full added value from your system data. This increases productivity and prevents quality losses.
An automated conveyor system is a mechanical device that automates the transportation 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 optimize processes, increasing productivity and reducing manual labor.
There are various types of conveyor systems, including belt conveyors, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, vibratory conveyors and modular systems. Each type is designed for specific transportation requirements, from light, fast goods to heavy loads, and can perform 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 desired 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.
