Smart Conveyor Systems for Warehouses
Smart Conveyor Systems Built to Move More Product With Less Labor
Custom conveyor systems that boost throughput 30-60% and cut labor costs, engineered and installed locally by Invenova across Texas
Invenova designs custom conveyor systems — belt, roller, zero-pressure accumulation, gravity, incline/decline, spiral, modular plastic belt, chain and pallet — synchronized in real time with your warehouse software.
In a market where labor is one of the biggest constraints for Texas warehouses, smart conveyors move product automatically, freeing operators for higher-value tasks and giving you predictable, 24/7 flow
HOW IT WORKS
Conveyor sections are selected and laid out based on your product mix, volume and existing footprint.
Sensors, photo eyes and barcode/RFID readers are installed along the line and connected to a PLC.
The PLC communicates with your WMS/WCS in real time to route, accumulate or divert product automatically.
Variable frequency drives (VFD) let you adjust speed (30–150 m/min) as demand changes.
BENEFITS
Higher throughput
Increase throughput by 30–60%, depending on automation level and configuration.
Lower labor cost
Increase throughput by 30–60%, depending on automation level and configuration.
99%+ accuracy
Increase throughput by 30–60%, depending on automation level and configuration.
24/7 operation
24/7 continuous operation with predictable performance versus manual transport.
Lower cost per order
Lower cost per order as volume scales — especially valuable with rising Texas hourly wages.
Full integration
Full integration with WMS, WCS, WES, ERP, RFID and robotics.

FAQ
What's the difference between roller and belt conveyors?
How much can conveyors increase my warehouse throughput?
Roller conveyors are typically used for cartons, totes and pallets where accumulation is needed; belt conveyors handle a wider range of product shapes and are common for irregular or soft-sided items.
