Warehouse automation built around your operation
Practical systems that improve product flow, reduce manual handling and create capacity for growth.
CoreConvey designs and integrates warehouse automation for fulfilment centres, logistics operations, parcel hubs, distribution facilities and manufacturing environments across Europe and the UK.
Where is your warehouse losing time, capacity or control?
The right automation project starts with a process constraint, not with a preferred piece of equipment.
Too much manual transport
Employees spend too much time walking, pushing carts or carrying goods between work areas.
Sorting is limiting dispatch
Manual sorting is slow, labour-intensive or increasingly prone to mistakes and misroutes.
Picking cannot keep pace
Travel time and product movement are restricting pick rates, consolidation and packing output.
Packing is slow or inconsistent
Manual carton selection, product placement, labelling and sealing are limiting capacity and creating variation.
Unloading and palletising rely on manual labour
Container unloading and end-of-line palletising create repetitive lifting, safety concerns and staffing pressure.
Labour requirements keep rising
Every increase in volume creates another increase in staffing, overtime or temporary labour.
Space is restricting growth
Existing processes consume too much floor space or cannot create the capacity needed inside the current building.
Systems are disconnected
Equipment, WMS, ERP and warehouse processes do not exchange information or coordinate effectively.
Find the right automation starting point
Answer four questions to identify which solution family deserves closer investigation.
Move goods consistently between warehouse processes
Connect receiving, storage, picking, packing, sortation and dispatch with conveyor systems designed around your product profile and required flow.
- Powered roller conveyors
- Gravity conveyors
- Belt conveyors
- Modular conveyors

Automate movement without fixing every route in place
Use mobile robots to move totes, cartons, racks and pallets between warehouse processes while retaining flexibility for future layout changes.
- Tote and bin transport
- Goods-to-person concepts
- Rack-to-person systems
- Pallet AMRs
- Picking support robots
- Production line feeding
- Replenishment support
- Links between automation zones
Automate container unloading and palletising
Bring intelligent robotic handling into two of the most repetitive and physically demanding parts of the operation.
- Mixed-carton container unloading
- Robotic palletising
- 3D vision and adaptive picking
- Custom gripper configurations
- Pallet and carton conveyors
- Safety and controls integration
- Connection to warehouse systems
- Reduced repetitive lifting
Turn loose items into dispatch-ready cartons
Automate carton selection, robotic product placement, labelling, sealing and transfer into the next warehouse process.
- Automated carton selection
- Configurable case erectors
- 3D item recognition
- AI-controlled robotic packing
- Automatic label application
- Carton closing and sealing
- Weight and volume verification
- Connection to conveyors and sortation
High-destination sorting in a compact footprint
CoreCompact is designed for operations that need granular parcel sorting without the footprint of a traditional large-scale sorter.
Know what is moving through the system
Capture the information needed to identify, verify and route every item through the correct process.
- Barcode reading
- Image capture
- Parcel weighing
- Dimensioning
- Label print and apply
- Parcel verification
- Exception handling
- Operational reporting
Connect physical movement with operational data
Automation works properly only when equipment receives the right instructions and returns useful live information.
- WCS routing logic
- WMS and ERP integration
- REST API interfaces
- FTP data exchange
- Equipment status monitoring
- Parcel and tote tracking
- Operational reporting
- Exception management
More than individual pieces of equipment
A conveyor can move a box. A scanner can identify it. A robot can pick or pack it. A sorter can route it.
The real value comes when each component works as part of one coordinated process, with the right controls, operational rules and data flow behind it.
What does the system need to achieve?
Move more with the same workforce
Reduce repeated transport and increase output without proportional headcount growth.
Reduce cost per parcel or order
Remove unnecessary touches, overtime, rework and inefficient product movement.
Improve accuracy
Use scanning, vision, software and controlled routing to reduce errors and misroutes.
Create more capacity
Remove the process constraint before expanding the building or adding another shift.
Handle peak periods
Build throughput, buffering, packing and routing capacity around real peak requirements.
Prepare for growth
Develop modular equipment and controls that can support new routes, stations and technologies.
Fixed, flexible or hybrid automation?
The strongest answer may combine several technologies rather than forcing the complete operation into one method.
Reliable flow along stable routes
Best where throughput is consistent, routes are well defined and continuous movement matters.
- Conveyors
- Sorters
- Lifts and transfers
- Accumulation systems
Hybrid automation
Fixed automation handles the core high-volume flow while robots and intelligent work cells automate flexible or complex handling tasks.
- Conveyors for repeatable routes
- AMRs for flexible connections
- Sorters for outbound destinations
- Robotic packing and palletising
- Vision-guided container unloading
- Shared controls and data
Adaptable movement through changing layouts
Best where routes change, phased deployment matters or a fully fixed system would be too restrictive.
- AMRs
- Goods-to-person systems
- Rack-to-person concepts
- Mobile picking support
