Automation of internal transport in e-commerce

In today's rapidly growing e-commerce sector, automating logistics processes has become a key factor in efficient sales management. An automotive e-commerce company, expanding into a new sales channel—dropshipping—faced the challenge of optimizing logistics operations. Implementing a modern internal transport system was essential to automate the packing and shipping processes.

Transport system – an effective solution for dropshipping

To meet the demands of this new business model, the company introduced a two-level transport system that integrates belt and roller conveyors with a packaging machine. By using modern conveyors and control points, the entire internal transport process was automated, significantly accelerating the flow of goods.

How does the modern transport system work?

The conveyor system consists of belt conveyors, roller conveyors, and intersections that ensure smooth internal transport. These conveyors facilitate the fast and precise movement of goods through different stages of production and packaging. At each intersection, the system is equipped with scanners that monitor the dimensions and weight of shipments. Data about the packages is sent to the WMS (Warehouse Management System), allowing easy control and tracking of transportation.

Automation of packing and shipping

After passing through the transport system, goods reach packaging machines that adjust cartons to the dimensions of the products. The use of conveyors not only speeds up the packing process but also ensures greater precision. Automated packaging helps minimize errors and reduces costs associated with manual packing processes.

Increased efficiency and cost savings through internal transport

Implementing an automated internal transport system has significantly improved the company's operational efficiency. Thanks to conveyors, the movement of goods is faster, and order fulfillment times are significantly reduced. The system has also lowered operational costs by reducing the need for additional staff and minimizing the risk of errors.

Conveyors and system scalability – the future of e-commerce automation

The transport system designed for e-commerce not only meets the company’s current needs but is also ready for future growth. With the flexibility of conveyors and the ability to easily expand the system with additional packaging machines, the company can adapt to increasing order volumes in the future.
