Conveyor & Material Handling Systems
As a trusted conveyor system integrator, we provide end-to-end conveyor design and installation — from automated sortation systems and material handling conveyor solutions to warehouse conveyor integration — with real-time tracking and 24/7 reliability.
Why Operations Need a Conveyor System Integrator
Manual sorting, scanning, and material movement create bottlenecks that limit throughput, increase labor costs, and introduce errors. As order volumes grow and customer expectations rise, manual processes simply cannot keep pace with demand.
Custom conveyor design and installation eliminates these bottlenecks — but only when engineered by an experienced conveyor system integrator who understands your product mix, throughput requirements, and facility layout. That's where Vector Automation makes the difference.
Manual sorting causing quality defects and misrouted products
Barcode scanning errors from operator fatigue across shifts
Inventory discrepancies between database and physical warehouse
Throughput bottlenecks limiting fulfillment capacity
Material Handling Conveyor Solutions We Design & Install
Sortation Conveyor Systems
High-speed automated sortation systems with diverters, pop-up wheel sorters, and cross-belt sorters. Our sortation conveyor design and installation includes barcode/RFID integration for accurate product routing at production speed.
Inspection Tunnel Integration
Cognex-powered tunnel inspection systems that read 100% of barcodes on the line. Automated scanning eliminates manual intervention and feeds real-time data to your WMS/ERP.
Belt & Roller Conveyor Design
Custom belt, roller, and modular conveyor system design and installation for manufacturing, packaging, and distribution. Each material handling conveyor solution is engineered for your product dimensions, weight, and throughput requirements.
Accumulation & Buffering
Zero-pressure accumulation conveyors and buffer zones that regulate product flow between processes. Prevent jams, reduce damage, and maintain consistent line speed.
Conveyor Controls & PLC Integration
Complete PLC programming and control panel design for conveyor automation integration. Allen-Bradley and Siemens platforms with HMI interfaces for real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and warehouse conveyor system management.
Conveyor System Retrofits & Upgrades
Modernize existing conveyor infrastructure with new controls, sensors, vision systems, and sortation technology. Our conveyor system integrator team extends equipment life while dramatically improving performance and throughput.
Powered by Industry-Leading Technology
Cognex
World leader in machine vision and barcode reading. We integrate Cognex DataMan readers and In-Sight vision systems for 100% automated scanning and inspection on conveyor lines.
Allen-Bradley / Rockwell
Industry-standard PLC and control platforms. We program Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers for precise conveyor sequencing, sorting logic, and real-time diagnostics.
From Concept to Production
Facility Assessment
Our conveyor system integrator team surveys your facility, maps product flows, measures throughput requirements, and identifies bottlenecks to design the optimal conveyor layout.
System Engineering
Our engineers create detailed 3D conveyor system designs, specify conveyor types and speeds, design sortation logic, and select the right sensors and vision systems for your material handling requirements.
Build & Conveyor Integration
We fabricate conveyor sections, build control panels, program PLC logic for conveyor automation integration, and conduct Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) to verify performance before shipping.
Installation & Startup
On-site conveyor system installation, WMS/ERP integration, operator training, and production ramp-up support until your warehouse conveyor system achieves target throughput and accuracy.
Proven in Production
This exact conveyor and inspection system is running in a live production facility today.
Sorter Conveyor with Tunnel Inspection System
Perception reads every box, the system decides the correct diverter, and the database updates in real time — sense, decide, act, at conveyor speed. Vector Automation successfully implemented a fully automated sorter conveyor with a Cognex inspection tunnel to read 100% of boxes coming on the line and sorting every box to the right diverter to automatically sort every product to the right position. Additionally, all information was sent to the customer database to update inventory in real-time — running three shifts, 24/7 — without operator intervention. The solution delivers consistent reading, eliminates manual scanning, improves accuracy and compliance, and ensures reliable, around-the-clock production performance.
