Conveyor Technology

Conveyor Technology

Experience and know-how for every system

Conveyor technology is the backbone of many industrial processes. Smooth material flow often determines efficiency, productivity and availability. Whether pallets, boxes, components or complex conveyor systems - we use our know-how to ensure that your systems run optimally.

Our teams at amd have solid experience in the assembly, integration and commissioning of a wide range of systems - from electrified monorail systems and power-and-free installations to fully automated high-bay warehouses and feed systems. We also implement bulk material solutions for sand, ore or grain professionally.

Conveyor technology in industrial project operations

Conveyor technology with true technical system understanding

Our specialists support conveyor technology projects in assembly, retrofit, commissioning, automation, safety, maintenance and optimisation. In complex conveyor chains especially, the interaction of mechanics, electrical engineering, sensors, control logic and material flow is critical - and this is exactly where amd brings hands-on experience.

Complex conveyor processes implemented efficiently and safely

Whether horizontal conveyor sections, storage and retrieval machines or combined systems, we understand the technical details that make a conveyor chain stable and high-performing. Our specialists support your projects from planning and assembly through to production readiness. Thanks to our technical understanding and hands-on experience, we can deliver even demanding tasks with a high level of precision and reliability - always with the goal of making your operations safe and efficient.

Assembly and integration

We assemble, expand and integrate conveyor technology systems precisely into existing or new plant structures.

Controls and safety

Sensors, safety, PLCs and material flow logic are aligned so that conveyor technology runs stably and in compliance with standards.

Production proximity

Our teams know the requirements of logistics, manufacturing, sequence supply and automated material flows from real-world project work.

Commercial optimisation

We help to improve throughput, availability and energy efficiency in conveyor technology in a targeted way.

Mechanical and electrical assembly, safety verification to EN ISO 13849 and integration into the control system.

Retrofit of carton sorters to variable-frequency drives

Replacement of motors and inverters, cycle optimisation and reduction of energy consumption.

PLC programming for unit-load conveyors with accumulation logic

Implementation of intelligent accumulation sections and zone control to increase throughput.

Extension of an overhead conveyor for sequence supply

Mechanical extension, sensor integration and update of the material flow software.

Commissioning of a scissor-lift-table network

Safety acceptance, load tests and handover to three-shift operation.

Conversion of a roller conveyor to zero-pressure accumulation

Zone creation, new IO-Link sensors and robust parameterisation.

Integration of a labelling and scanning line

Barcode scanners, camera systems and data transfer to WMS and MES.

Safety upgrade of a conveyor technology line

Retrofitting of light curtains, emergency-stop circuits and validation of performance levels.

Cycle-time optimisation of a transverse transfer station

Bottleneck analysis, adjustment of movement profiles and reduction of cycle time by 18 percent.

Maintenance campaign for sorters and switch points

Preventive maintenance, spare-parts management and training of operator personnel.

Process

From enquiry to deployment

This is how we organise specialists for your industrial project in four steps. Structured, transparent and aligned with your project.

1

Alignment

We clarify your requirements: qualifications, team size, project location, timeline and technical expectations.

2

Selection

We select suitable specialists from our network, aligned with qualifications, experience and industry knowledge.

3

Coordination

We organise travel, accommodation and deployment planning and coordinate the next steps closely with you.

4

On-site deployment

Our specialists integrate into your project. We remain your point of contact throughout the entire assignment.
