Conveyor System Automation

Duke Control Systems delivers conveyor system automation for automotive, advanced manufacturing, and FMCG environments. We design and integrate PLC-controlled conveyor systems that move product reliably, safely, and efficiently through your process.

Our controls-led approach focuses on sequencing, interlocks, safety, and fault handling, ensuring conveyor systems operate as coordinated production assets rather than isolated machines.

Conveyor automation is often the backbone of automotive lines, high-throughput FMCG packaging, and advanced manufacturing cells where uptime and predictable behaviour are critical.

Controls-Led Conveyor Automation

We deliver controls-led conveyor automation that integrates cleanly with robotics, palletising systems, and upstream and downstream machinery.

  • Clear sequencing and zone control strategies
  • Robust interlocks and line handshakes
  • Predictable fault handling and recovery
  • Consistent safety architecture across the line

Key Capabilities

Conveyor PLC control Zone & accumulation control Line integration Interlocks & handshakes
Retrofit & brownfield upgrades Safety integration (PLd / PLe)

Industries We Support

  • Automotive: transfer lines, body-in-white support conveyors, robotic cell integration
  • Advanced manufacturing: cell-to-cell transfer, precision handling, flexible layouts
  • FMCG: high-throughput packaging, accumulation, and end-of-line conveyor systems

Example Conveyor Automation Project

End-of-Line Conveyor System – FMCG Manufacturer

Duke Control Systems delivered PLC control and safety integration for an end-of-line conveyor system feeding a robotic palletising cell in an FMCG environment. The system included accumulation logic, line handshakes, and clear fault recovery behaviour.

  • Industry: FMCG
  • Scope: PLC logic, conveyor sequencing, safety integration
  • Result: Improved throughput and reduced unplanned downtime
