Pacline Conveyors is proud to announce its participation in the highly anticipated ProMat 2025 trade show, taking place March 17-20 in Chicago, IL. At Booth #S1471, Pacline will demonstrate its innovative robotic empty carton loading solution designed to transform order fulfillment processes in distribution centers and warehouses.

The system will seamlessly integrate Pacline’s PAC-LINE™ enclosed track conveyor, a Motoman robot equipped with a specialized end effector to expertly load empty cartons onto an overhead monorail conveyor from a Motor Drive Live Roller (MDR) conveyor to replicate a real-world order fulfillment solution. This demonstration highlights Pacline’s capability to provide a fully automated solution that optimizes the delivery of empty cartons to operators, achieving consistently high rates, while reducing labor dependency.

Pacline’s conveyor systems are essential for streamlining delivery of e-commerce cartons, retail replenishment cartons, or donor totes, in order fulfillment environments such as:

• • Person-to-Goods: using Pick Modules with Pick to Light, Pick to Voice, or RF technology.
  • Goods-to-Person: using Unit Sorters, Zone Routing systems (or Pick-and-Pass), Cubic Automated Storage and Retrieval (cASRS) or Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).

The comprehensive showcase underscores Pacline’s expertise in integrating robotics, conveyor systems, and other technologies to address the evolving demands of a wide range of industries such as consumer goods, apparel, shoes, electronics, packaged food, and bath products. In addition to the robotic loading system, Pacline offers a broader suite of automation solutions designed to meet the specific needs of distributors, integrators, and end-users.

“Automation is the future of material handling, and we are excited to showcase our solutions at ProMat 2025,” says Karl Scholz, President of Pacline Conveyors. This robotic carton handling system is a prime example of our commitment to innovation and excellence in meeting the needs of modern distribution centers.”

Pacline Conveyors is excited to announce the launch of its new Robotics and Automation division, which will focus on integrating Pacline conveyor systems and robotics to offer a greater scope of turnkey solutions for valued distributors, integrators, and end-users. The Robotics and Automation division has its own dedicated facility and will provide efficient concepting, design engineering, project management, on-site support, and installation throughout North America. Pacline will continue to offer stand-alone conveyor products to distributors and integrators who supply robotics/automation themselves and for projects that do not require robotic integration.

“We are excited to be launching our new Robotics and Automation department. With the increased demand for automation in the material handling industry, it was a natural progression to start designing turnkey automation solutions for our customers,” said Karl Scholz, President of Pacline Conveyors.

In addition, the company will unveil its latest innovation at the upcoming ProMat Show in Chicago, IL, on March 20-23rd. Pacline Conveyors will showcase a robot loading and unloading system for empty cartons onto an overhead conveyor, designed to increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve safety in warehouse and distribution center operations. The system will use the signature PAC-LINE™ enclosed track conveyor in conjunction with a cobot utilizing a vacuum generator and suction-cup-based end effector for loading and unloading empty cartons onto and from an overhead conveyor.

Attendees of the ProMat Show will have the opportunity to see the robot loading and unloading system in action at booth S2495, meet the Pacline team, and learn more about automating operations. For more information, visit: https://www.pacline.com/solutions/robotics/

Cincinnati, Ohio – October 7, 2021 – Pacline Conveyors, Inc. announced the opening of its new manufacturing facility near Cincinnati, Ohio. The new Ohio facility is the third location for Pacline as it expands its North American footprint to meet growing demand.

“We continue to invest in the regions where we are growing significantly. This new plant will allow us to grow our sales and provide local support for our installation crews and customers in the central US”, says Karl Scholz, President of Pacline.

This facility is capable of producing large and custom assemblies such as support structures and safety equipment, which are costly to ship over long distances. As a result of this facility, Pacline expects to be more efficient in executing its projects.

Pacline provides overhead and inverted chain conveyor systems designed for a wide range of industrial material handling operations, including parts handling, storage and assembly lines for manufacturing and carton handling systems in warehouse/distribution centers. Pacline conveyors are used to move products through industrial processes such as spray painting, dip painting, e-coating, powder coating, plating, sandblasting, and parts cleaning within the finishing industry.

Pacline’s commitment to innovation, cost-effectiveness and customer service has helped shape Pacline into one of the most trusted conveyor manufacturers in North America. Pacline’s company mission is “to apply their expertise to provide world-class material handling solutions to their valued customers,” and through expanding their operations, Pacline continues to pursue that mission.

About Pacline Conveyors

Since 1979, Pacline has been helping to improve productivity and efficiency for manufacturing operations and warehousing and distribution centers worldwide. Pacline is a conveyor company that offers a wide range of high-quality, reliable chain conveyor systems with experienced engineers that bring innovative and custom design solutions to every project.

Pacline Conveyors Inc., was recently awarded the contract to build and install the inmate property storage system for the new Harris County Joint Processing Center in Houston, Texas. The $100 million dollar, 250,000 square-foot facility will serve the third largest county jail system in the United States and is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

The new Joint Processing Center has been designed to improve efficiency in the correctional system by consolidating and streamlining all inmate bookings and releases for the city of Houston and the county. The Harris County Center will have the capacity to hold up to 1,500 inmates at various stages of processing.

Managing the inmate property for a facility of this size is a challenge and an important reason why the builder, Clark Construction, chose PACLINE’s automated garment storage and retrieval system for the Harris County Joint Processing Center.

The PACLINE system will include 12 industrial-strength PAC-LINE™ signature enclosed track conveyor loops with the capacity to carry a total of 12,000 hanging garment bags with inmate personal property.

PACLINE’s RETRIEVER™  control system will allow operators the efficiency of retrieving multiple indexed bags. This is an important feature of the system as it is estimated that the Harris County Center will be processing up to 900 inmates per day.

The enclosed-track design of PACLINE’s conveyor system eliminates dangerous pinch points common in other conveyor systems. This is an extremely important consideration for inmate property systems where hands and fingers of the operators can come in contact with the track and moving chain.

Karl Scholz, President of Pacline Overhead Conveyors says, “We appreciate this opportunity and the confidence expressed by the Clark/Harris County team. We look forward to delivering a high quality system later this year.”

Key features of the PACLINE Inmate Property Handling System:

• The PAC-LINE™ conveyor track is modular in design which means that installations and modifications are quick and easy – no welding required.
• System can be designed to accommodate all types of garment bags.
• Safe for operators as the enclosed track prevents hand and fingers from contacting the moving chain.
• Track and components are designed for industrial use – proven to deliver long-term, trouble-free performance.
