Customers today expect equipment that's more green, more
flexible, and even more efficient than the machinery available in the
past. Manufacturers have met the demand with an assortment of new
models and accessories.
Downturns accelerate trends like
nothing else. Increasingly distribution center operators look to their
conveyor suppliers for assistance with things like higher throughput
and accuracy, the ability to process a larger range of packages and
products. Those demands are the result of pressures faced by the DCs
themselves to increase order response time, make shipments that are
flawless and error-free (or face chargeback penalties), and produce
faster turns.
