Traditional conveyor systems are often complex, rigid, and slow to implement, failing to deliver the flexibility and speed you need in today’s market. If you need to efficiently transport goods through your facility, enabling more shipments and ultimately increased revenue, then you need a conveyor system that’s fast to receive and easy to implement. After all, your conveyor system affects everything from production speed, accuracy, to your bottom line.
This can only be achieved with a modular conveyor system, consisting of pre-assembled and pre-wired plug-and-play components that you can adjust based on your operational demands. Here are three reasons why a modular system is essential to help you gain a competitive advantage:
-
Tailored to your needs: Traditional conveyor systems often force you to compromise, leading to operational inefficiencies and higher costs. Modular systems, on the other hand, allow you to design a conveyor belt that fits your specific production requirements, reducing downtime and avoiding unnecessary spending on features you don’t need.
-
Reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs: Downtime is expensive, often costing you thousands of dollars per hour. With a modular system that your team can manage, you’ll eliminate costly service calls and minimize operational interruptions.
-
Increased speed of implementation: Industrial conveyor systems can take months to install and fully integrate into your operations. Modular systems, however, can be deployed in just weeks, allowing you to see a faster return on investment (ROI) and quickly adjust to changing production demands.
In high-speed manufacturing environments, the slightest loss in efficiency can lead to costly disruptions. Choosing a modular conveyor system allows you to future-proof your operations.
Introducing Vention’s new modular conveyor systems
Whether you’re a consumer-packaged goods (CPG) manufacturer, a third-party logistics (3PL) hub, or any manufacturer handling mid- to high-volumes, you expect more from your conveyor systems. Vention’s automated conveyors offer the flexibility and performance needed to manage a wide range of packaging formats and production volumes.
Here are 5 key benefits of Vention’s new modular plug-and-play conveyor systems:
-
Rapid deployment with pre-wired components: Vention conveyors ship 4-6 times faster than traditional conveyor systems. Thanks to pre-assembled and pre-wired components, we can ship your system in just days, getting you up and running within weeks. This speed ensures that your production line is up and running sooner, giving you a competitive advantage.
-
Plug-and-play simplicity: Access a plug-and-play ecosystem that includes everything from roller conveyors and conveyor belts to sensors and controllers. Each component is seamlessly integrated into one platform, so you can configure your conveyor system without a team of specialists or weeks of training.
-
Easy programming and configuration: Use the Vention Conveyor MachineApp to easily manage and optimize your system. No need for complex PLC programming—the app allows you to adjust speed, product detection, and other parameters with just a few clicks.
-
Fully customizable: Design a system that integrates seamlessly into your existing operations. Because no two manufacturing floors are the same, Vention’s automated conveyors are fully customizable, with adjustable bracketing, curved or skewed sections, and flexible configurations to fit your unique needs.
-
Real-time pricing and shipping updates: Get real-time, transparent pricing as you build your custom conveyor design in MachineBuilder. Once your order is placed, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation along with regular tracking updates to ensure timely delivery.
Key features that set Vention’s conveyor systems apart
Let’s take a closer look at what makes Vention’s new conveyor system stand out.
Modular and configurable sections
The conveyor belts come in straight conveyors (in powered and unpowered configurations), with skewed sections for repeatable box positioning or curved sections for custom layout optimization. You can mix and match these to create a conveyor system that fits your exact needs without any unnecessary parts.
Built-in sensors and smart integration
Optical sensors are integrated directly into the conveyor system, enabling precise tracking of products. These sensors detect boxes and other items as they move along the conveyor, making it easier to implement automated box detection processes.
Conveyor MachineApp
The Conveyor MachineApp makes programming simple for every member of your team, empowering operators to get up and running in record time. Configure everything from speed to sensor behavior with just a few clicks, all without involving PLCs or complicated coding. Its flexible programming logic also supports zero-pressure accumulation, helping to prevent product collisions while keeping products moving smoothly on the conveyor to increase throughput.
Pre-assembled and pre-wired
No need to spend valuable time wiring or assembling your system on-site. We ship each conveyor system pre-wired and pre-assembled, allowing you to focus on getting your production line running as soon as possible.
Flexibility for any environment
Whether you’re in a large-scale facility or a smaller operation, Vention’s conveyors are designed to adapt. With adjustable configurations, these systems fit in virtually any space.
Cost-effective maintenance
Instead of dealing with complex, layered systems that require specialized technicians for every issue, Vention’s conveyor systems are designed for easy maintenance by your in-house team. This reduces both downtime and maintenance costs over the life of the system. If you ever need assistance, we are just a phone call away with Remote Support.
