Engineer to Order Conveyors by Alfacon Solutions Essential to Meet Material Handling Demands

John Murdoch, CEO of Alfacon Solutions, explained designing the optimal material handling systems requires a deep understanding of the product, process, and challenges in the recent issue in Manufacturing Tomorrow magazine.

According to Murdoch, conveyors are too often thought of as a commodity, a product. In fact, conveyors are a solution to a challenge. ETO, engineer-to-order, manufacturing solutions are not new; off the shelf products may work in some installations, but increasingly there are sectors requiring engineering design to maintain quality design.

None of the Alfacon Solutions clients order on-line; as a middle market case and pallet conveyor handling systems company, operating from an 80,000 square foot facility in Ontario, Canada, the company provides design, engineering, manufacturing, and installation services to drive a VSM (value stream mapping) moving from a current state with inefficiency to high-impact improvements. 

The product offerings range from package and pallet handling conveyors and sortation systems to truck-loaders, extendable conveyors, vertical conveyor systems, belt conveyor systems, and roller conveyor systems. Along with integrating standard products manufactured by others, maintaining a fully CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) certified fabrication plant allows to complement a standard product line with in-house manufactured items such as custom conveyor applications, pallet conveyor, structural steel, catwalks, mezzanines, chutes, slides, and other auxiliary items.
