The assembly line is probably the single most significant outcome of the Industrial Revolution!

Rapid advances in science and engineering made way for enormous strides in industrial growth.
Modern industries with their state of the art production lines owe their existence to their
revolutionary predecessors from the turn of the 20th industry. If they had not been invented,
there is no way car companies and paper mills would have flourished the way they did!

Assembly Line Conveyor Systems remain the backbone of


industries well into the 21st century!
In any manufacturing unit, several production processes are carried out to convert raw materials
to finished products all along the assembly line. Conveyor systems primarily perform the
function of moving large quantities of goods as they move from one production process to
another.
Without them, there is no way assembly line production is even possible. They effectively
replaced the tedious and sometimes dangerous manual tasks of yore and made themselves
indispensable to modern industries.

Some of the main advantages provided by conveyor systems to transport goods:

 They save on time and human effort!


 They can transport large quantities of goods quickly and efficiently.
 They are versatile – used in almost every kind of industry.
 They can be customized to carry any shape or load.
 They have replaced manual intervention in many risky production processes.
 They can be incorporated with safety mechanisms to prevent accidents.
 They provide high reliability with relatively low maintenance.

Conveyor systems are hence prevalently used in workshops, factories, industrial plants,
warehouses – essentially any manufacturing or storage facility. They find uses in other
industries such as construction and agriculture too!

Depending on the type of goods transported, the design of the conveyor system will vary.
Assembly lines typically use conveyor belts – they are cost-effective besides being highly
versatile to be used in all kinds of industry to transport raw materials and finished goods of any
size and shape!

Widespread Use of Garment Conveyor Systems

Meanwhile, textile and garment industries heavily rely on overhead garment conveyor systems
to move their finished goods around the shop floor. These conveyors are also widely used in
dry cleaning and industrial laundry units and even for coat checks at casinos and property
management at correctional units.

Importance of the Garment Conveyor in Storage and Transport of Garments

There are several uses for garment conveyor systems in Canada. The flexibility and easy
installation of garment conveyors make them highly sought after in garment industries. They
help store or move large numbers of garments in one go. Since they typically use the overhead
space of the shop, the shop floor is free for storage other production activity. They can even be
installed to transport garments from one level to another of the manufacturing unit. Their
flexibility makes it easy to add them on to an existing production workflow even. They are
particularly useful in correctional institutions in Canada to store and retrieve properties of
inmates. Thus, any place that requires the handling of large numbers of garments would do
well to get a good garment conveyor system!

Conveyor systems, as you can see, are thus the lifelines for industrial activity and growth!
