What Works

The Motorised Roller Stack

Straight MDR (Zone Controlled)

Modular 24V DC roller sections with photo-eyes and zone logic. Perfect for pick/pack takeaways, induction lines and accumulation before print-apply.

Curves & Tight-Radius Bends

Low-profile, chain-o-belt or tapered rollers maintain orientation and speed around corners—ideal for mezzanine layouts and compact cells.

Merges & Diverts

VFD-timed merges and pop-up wheel transfers to feed mainlines without slugging. Balance flows and keep singulation clean.

Lift Gates & Personnel Crossings

Gas-assist or powered lift sections for safe walk-throughs and maintenance access—no acrobatics required.

Heavy-Duty MDR

High-torque rollers and wider frames move totes or light pallets with the same zoned efficiency—great for replen and dispatch lanes.

Infeed to Print-Apply & Auto-Bag

Stable, zero-pressure feeds into labelers/baggers; no back-pressure = fewer mislabels and cleaner prints.

Induction, Singulation & Metering

Photo-eye logic keeps gaps precise for scanner windows, weigh-in-motion and sorters.

Safety & Ergonomics

Low pinch risk, low noise, soft starts/stops. Add guarding, e-stops and light/sound alerts for mixed traffic.

Controls, WCS/WES & System Intelligence

Brains win. Zone controllers at the edge manage start/stop and gaps; our WCS/WES orchestrates merges, priorities and accumulation rules; we handshake with your WMS/OMS/ERP to validate labels, trigger workflows and log events for SLA reporting.
