Automated Material Handling Systems

Utilizing Overhead Conveyors and Robotics

After over four decades of helping our clients with specialized overhead conveyor solutions, Pacline is introducing material handling automation add-ons for the loading and unloading of our conveyors. 

Overhead conveyors provide tremendous advantages in utilizing unused overhead space, freeing up floor space by reducing cart and forklift traffic, and routing parts through tight spaces and high-temperature environments. However, the loading and unloading of overhead conveyors is traditionally handled by human operators, and this can be a repetitive task, which opens the door for inefficiencies. 

Pacline’s world-class automated material handling systems are custom-tailored to your facility and provide an extra layer of material handling automation that can give our clients peace of mind, along with a competitive edge.
