Conveyor Systems Integrator and Industrial Machine Builders

As a systems integrator, GLOBAL specifies and connects the conveyor technology that fits each application—belt, roller, chain, slat, pallet-transfer, and power-and-free among them. Belt and roller suit stable cartons and totes, chain and slat carry heavier or hot parts, and power-and-free supports asynchronous carriers that stop and start independently along a route. Selection weighs part weight, orientation, footprint, and how the line must branch, buffer, or feed automated cells.

Each section is sized to the loads it carries and the pace the connected machines require rather than one fixed speed. Heavier parts and inclines call for stronger drives and controlled acceleration, while light or delicate products need gentler transfer and smooth transitions. GLOBAL matches drive type, conveyor construction, and section speed to the part so flow stays stable and parts arrive positioned for the next operation.

Yes. Accumulation zones let parts queue ahead of a slower machine so upstream operations keep running, while merge and divert points combine or split flow between cells and lines. GLOBAL designs these zones with the sensors, stops, and zone logic that control spacing, sequence, and routing. The amount of buffering and branching is set by station cycle times, product mix, and where bottlenecks are expected.

Conveyor motion is coordinated by PLC controls that manage zones, transfers, and interlocks so parts release to each machine or robot in the correct order. Zone logic tracks part presence, controls accumulation, and synchronizes handoffs across the integrated line. GLOBAL programs the controls, safety logic, and operator interface together so the conveyor, custom machinery, and robots run as one coordinated system.

Yes. GLOBAL evaluates existing equipment, control signals, cycle times, floor space, and handoff points before defining a solution, then plans the mechanical and controls connections around them. A project can add a custom machine, robotic cell, conveyor section, or inspection station to an operating line. A phased approach helps modernize the line while holding disruption to scheduled maintenance windows.

Layout is engineered around available floor space, aisle access, utilities, and how operators and forklifts service the equipment. GLOBAL confirms elevations, transfers, and clearances during design and can validate flow with simulation before build. Installation is scheduled around production so equipment is set, connected, and commissioned with downtime limited to planned windows.

After commissioning, GLOBAL provides operator and maintenance training, technical documentation, and support for troubleshooting, adjustments, and future changes. Recommended spare parts can be identified for drives, sensors, and controls to help limit downtime. When manufacturers need added expertise, GLOBAL can supply technical staffing alongside the installed system, with service planned between scheduled maintenance windows.
