Norpak Handling and its unique role as a conveyor systems integrator

Conveyor systems are available for all needs.

With more than 30 years of experience in supplying material-handling solutions to Canadian businesses, Norpak Handling Ltd. takes pride in its role as a conveyor systems integrator. This means that the company does more than sell products – it provides full solutions tailored to each customer’s operations. Every project that Norpak undertakes begins with an extensive consultation process and continues on after the product sale with crucial services.

The 11 key questions

A plant or warehouse typically uses numerous different conveyor types, all with varying accessories that add specific functions to the systems. Each conveyor system should be viewed as its own custom material-handling solution, and no two systems should be interchangeable within one business. As a systems integrator, Norpak strives to offer a complete suite of services for every customer.

The Norpak team cites 11 key questions that qualified system integrators address when assessing a customer’s material-handling needs:

1. What end result does the customer want?
2. What are the schedule requirements?
3. To what key operations (e.g., sorting, accumulation, diverts, tracking) does the system need to cater?
4. What conveyor types best fit the customer’s specific needs?
5. What kinds of products is the facility handling?
6. What is the plant or warehouse layout? Are there space constraints or multiple floors?
7. What should the system layout be?
8. What additional accessories (side guards, package stops, et cetera) could improve the system?
9. What automation level does the customer want?
10. What electrical and pneumatic services are available, and what are the requirements?
11. How can all these different components be tied together to form a seamless system?

Using its access to the best material-handling products and accessories in its inventory – manufactured by such internationally renowned industry leaders as Hytrol and FMH – Norpak addresses all of these issues to create a successful systems-integration process every time. Each customer works with a Norpak project manager who is responsible for fully understanding the business and its needs. The project manager’s expertise continues to be accessible for any changes to the systems throughout the business’ lifespan.
