Conveyor System Automation
for UK Manufacturers

Our team designs and commissions conveyor control systems that co-ordinate product flow across your entire production line. We manage accumulation, divert logic, line balancing and integration with upstream and downstream machinery to maximise throughput and minimise bottlenecks.

Full Line IntegrationNationwide CoverageAll Sectors Covered

A conveyor system is only as good as its control logic. We design and commission PLC control systems that make your conveyor work as an intelligent part of your wider production operation.

What We Deliver

Our Conveyor Automation Services

We provide complete conveyor control system services — from initial design through to commissioning and long-term support.

PLC Control System Design

Bespoke PLC control logic for your conveyor system — accumulation zones, speed control, product tracking, fault handling and full operator HMI.

System Integration

We integrate conveyor control with your wider production systems — robots, packaging machinery, palletisers, scanners, checkweighers and WMS systems.

Divert & Sorting Logic

Intelligent divert logic for product routing, rejection systems, lane splitting and merging — supporting flexible production and quality control.

Line Balancing

We analyse and optimise conveyor speeds, accumulation zones and buffer sizing to balance flow across your entire line and eliminate bottlenecks.

Retrofit & Upgrades

We upgrade existing conveyor control systems — replacing obsolete PLCs, adding new functionality and integrating new equipment without stopping production.

Commissioning & Validation

Thorough on-site commissioning including I/O testing, functional validation and production trials — ensuring the system performs to specification from day one.

Why Choose Duke

Why Manufacturers Choose Our Conveyor Automation Team

Whole-Line Thinking

We design conveyor control with the whole line in mind — not just the conveyor in isolation. The result is a system that truly supports your production flow.

Cross-Sector Experience

Automotive, FMCG, logistics, process — we've automated conveyor systems across all major manufacturing sectors.

Robot Integration Expertise

Our conveyor engineers work alongside our robot programmers — ensuring seamless handoff between conveyor and robotic cells.

Retrofits Without Downtime

We've upgraded dozens of conveyor control systems on live production lines — minimising disruption and managing risk carefully.

Full Documentation

Every system we deliver includes full electrical drawings, PLC program documentation and operator manuals — supporting your maintenance team long-term.

Ongoing Support

We're available for modifications, fault resolution and system improvements after handover.
