E-commerce business benefits from Norpak Handling conveyors for order fulfillment

Norpak solutions work well for e-commerce.

Norpak Handling Ltd. is the supplier on which smart manufacturers and warehouses rely for innovative material-handling solutions. During the COVID-19 pandemic and the global lockdown, e-commerce and other order-fulfillment applications increased in demand, which made conveyors and other material-handling equipment even more essential to the success of these businesses.

Large manufacturers have comfortably accommodated new production capacity over the past three years, but conveyors also help small and medium-sized companies adapt to new standards for e-commerce order fulfillment.

Operational speed and efficiency

In most e-commerce operations, the procedure is similar – goods to be shipped are moved to a takeaway line where shipping vehicles receive them. Conveyors are frequently used to transport products from one place to another in facilities and warehouses – and are also useful in applications like merging, sortation, and accumulation. For operational speed and efficiency, this versatility is a boon to order fulfillment.

Conveyors can handle hundreds, even thousands, of items at once for fast transporting; this helps businesses reach order-fulfillment goals quickly. Another major benefit is accuracy, since sorters can move products to the right takeaway lines. Users can easily integrate shoe sorters and belted pivot wheel sorters into conveyor systems. Norpak offers the following conveyor models for e-commerce order fulfillment:
