Automation

First, it’s important to consider if automation is a possibility in some capacity.

Can you simply move the parcel to another location in your facility that can accomodate?
Perhaps a wider conveyor would solve the problem? Unfortunately, the more irregular a
parcel is, the less likely it is that you will be able to use an automated system to move it.

That being said, one of the most effective ways to handle non conveyable items is with
specialized equipment. Specialized equipment is very helpful because it provides pre
engineered take-away options that standard automation doesn’t provide. This equipment can
significantly reduce manual effort, keep productivity consistent, and give you a bang for your
buck.

Specialized equipment is extremely useful for facilities who handle a large number of non-
conveyable items. If your facility deals with this often, investing in specialized equipment is a
great way to speed up your processes and the investment pays off immensely in the long run.

There is also room for partial automation in using a system to detect the weight and volume
of the parcel.
