Warehouse transport and material flow

Conveyor systems built around your product flow

Move cartons, totes, parcels, pallets and other unit loads reliably between warehouse and production processes.

CoreConvey designs and integrates conveyor systems ranging from individual transport sections to complete connected flows with scanning, accumulation, routing, controls and software integration.

What do you need to move?

The right conveyor depends on the product base, dimensions, weight, stability, required speed and the process before and after the route.

01

Cartons and totes

Move regular, flat-bottomed loads between receiving, storage, picking, packing and dispatch.

02

Parcels and polybags

Support mixed parcel profiles through scanning, weighing, dimensioning, labelling and sortation.

03

Pallets and heavy loads

Transport robust unit loads between production, storage, palletising, wrapping and dispatch.

04

Irregular products

Use continuous belt surfaces or specialist concepts for products that do not travel reliably on rollers.

Product overview

Conveyor types for different products and processes

A complete system may combine several conveyor technologies, each selected for a specific part of the process.

Powered roller conveyor transporting cartons
01 — Powered roller conveyors

Controlled transport for cartons, totes and parcels

Reliable movement along defined routes with accumulation zones, stops, transfers, sensors and controlled release.

Best forRegular, flat-bottomed loads

02 — Gravity roller conveyors

Simple movement in manual handling areas

A straightforward and economical route where manual movement or a controlled decline is suitable.

Multiple conveyor lanes merging into one flow
05 — Merges, transfers and routing

Combine lanes and direct products through the system

Merges, right-angle transfers and routing modules control product order, spacing and direction.

Main strengthControlled route changes
Heavy-duty pallet conveyor system
06 — Pallet conveyors

Heavy-duty transport for pallets and unit loads

Move loaded pallets between production, storage, palletising, wrapping and dispatch with controlled handling.

Best forPallets and heavy unit loads
Main strengthRobust heavy-load handling
Parcel conveyor using controlled spacing before data capture
07 — Accumulation and buffering

Balance processes with different operating speeds

Hold and release products in a controlled way between packing, scanning, sortation and downstream equipment.

Best forQueues, buffers and controlled release
Main strengthBalanced process flow
Integrated conveyor and robotics system
08 — Modular and specialist conveyors

Adapt the transport route to the operation

Curved, modular and specialist sections can be selected where product shape, footprint or environment demands another approach.

Best forSpecial products and complex layouts
Main strengthFlexible configuration

Which conveyor type is likely to fit?

This is an initial guide. Final selection should use representative product data and the complete process requirement.

Connected material flow

A conveyor is part of a process, not an isolated machine

The value comes from connecting transport, identification, accumulation, processing and routing into one coordinated flow.

CoreConvey considers what happens before products enter the conveyor, what decisions are made while they move and how queues, exceptions and downstream constraints are handled.

Controls and integration

Connect physical movement with operational data

The conveyor needs to know when to move, stop, release, merge, divert and report an exception.

CoreConvey can integrate sensors, scanners, PLC control and WCS functionality with warehouse or production systems.

  • Automatic routing
  • Zero-pressure accumulation
  • Product tracking
  • Speed coordination
  • Jam and exception handling
  • Scanner integration
  • WMS and ERP interfaces
  • Status reporting

Project scope

Start with one route or connect the complete operation

The project should match the actual constraint and provide a sensible route for future development.

01

Focused conveyor project

Remove one clear bottleneck with a defined transport solution.

  • Packing-to-dispatch conveyor
  • Production transfer route
  • Accumulation before a scanner
  • Connection between work areas
  • Replacement of manual transport
  • One pallet route
02

Complete connected system

Coordinate several conveyor technologies, processes and control layers.

  • Receiving-to-dispatch flow
  • Multi-zone fulfilment
  • Scanning and sortation integration
  • Production and palletising flow
  • WCS-controlled routing
  • New warehouse or expansion
Installed conveyor system with multiple merge lanes
Complete system thinking

The equipment is only one part of the result

A route must receive products consistently, create the correct spacing, handle queues, coordinate merges and release loads into the next process at the right time.

The layout must also provide safe operator access, practical maintenance space and a clear method for handling jams and exceptions.

From concept to operation

Support throughout the conveyor project

CoreConvey coordinates the equipment, controls, integration and project delivery needed to turn a conveyor concept into a working system.

01

Understand and design

We review the load types, dimensions, weights, throughput, layout, current process and operational objectives before developing the conveyor concept.

02

Install and integrate

We coordinate equipment delivery, installation, sensors, PLC controls, software interfaces, testing and commissioning around the agreed project scope.

03

Support and develop

Once the system is operational, we can assist with troubleshooting, maintenance planning, control changes, upgrades and future expansion.

One coordinated project: mechanical equipment, controls and operational integration developed around the way the conveyor system needs to work in practice.
Common questions

Conveyor system FAQs

Which conveyor type is right for our products?
The answer depends on product base, dimensions, weight, stability, throughput and the surrounding process. Representative data should be reviewed before final selection.
Can conveyors be added to an existing warehouse?
Yes. Focused routes can remove one transport bottleneck, connect work areas or feed an existing scanner, sorter, packing station or production process.
Can CoreConvey integrate with existing conveyors?
Existing equipment can be assessed for mechanical condition, control compatibility, safety and performance. Suitable conveyors may be retained.
Can the system connect to our WMS or ERP?
Yes. A WCS or suitable control layer can exchange routing instructions, tracking information and equipment status with existing systems.
Do we need powered conveyors throughout?
Not necessarily. A practical system may combine powered rollers, gravity sections, belt conveyors and manual work areas.
Can the system be expanded later?
Yes. Mechanical sections, controls and software can be designed for phased expansion.
What information is needed for an initial concept?
Useful information includes product dimensions and weights, average and peak volumes, routes, drawings, accumulation needs and existing equipment.
Does CoreConvey install and commission conveyor systems?
Yes. CoreConvey can support design, supply, controls, integration, installation, testing, commissioning, training and further development.
