Automated Conveyor Systems & Automation Solutions

Your facility should move product, not people. If your team is spending time manually transporting goods between stations, sorting by hand, or managing bottlenecks on the floor, you are leaving throughput and margin on the table. Creative Packaging Solutions engineers and integrates automated conveyor systems tailored to your facility, product, and throughput goals.

Labor costs are rising. Fulfillment expectations are accelerating. And the floor space you have is fixed. Automated conveyor and sortation systems solve for all three by removing repetitive, manual product movement from human hands and replacing it with engineered, consistent motion that runs shift after shift.

Here is what that means in practice:

Labor Optimization

Error Reduction

Space Maximization

Throughput Consistency

No two facilities are alike. We design and integrate automatic conveyor systems that match your product mix, line speed, floor layout, and downstream equipment. Our capabilities span the full range of conveyor automation applications.

Intelligent Sortation Systems

Cross-belt sorters, shoe sorters, and pop-up wheel diverters route product to the right destination at high speed with consistent accuracy. These systems are engineered for automated sorting conveyor applications where misroutes, label errors, and manual diversion slow throughput and create downstream rework.

Accumulation Conveyors

Zero-pressure accumulation conveyors allow products to queue and hold without product-to-product contact. This prevents damage during line stoppages, upstream delays, or equipment changeovers, giving you a buffer that protects output without requiring manual intervention.

Pallet and Heavy-Duty Handling

Chain conveyors, heavy-duty roller conveyors, and pallet transfer systems move pallets, totes, and bulk loads reliably across manufacturing floors and distribution environments. These systems are built for the load, the cycle rate, and the floor conditions of your specific operation.

Software Integration (WCS/WES)

Hardware without software intelligence is just equipment. Our warehouse conveyor automation systems connect to your existing Warehouse Management System (WMS), Warehouse Execution System (WES), or ERP through controls integration, enabling real-time data exchange, dynamic routing, and performance monitoring. Your conveyor line becomes a data source, not just a transport mechanism.

Automated conveyor systems serve different purposes depending on the facility, the product, and the operation. We bring experience across the industries where conveyor automation creates the greatest impact.

We follow a structured process, so you always know where your project stands and what comes next.

1. Discovery and Data Analysis

We start with your operation: your product, floor plan, throughput targets, and constraints. We ask the questions most vendors skip.

2. Custom Engineering and 3D Modeling

Our engineers develop a system layout using 3D modeling to validate clearances, routing logic, and line balance before ordering a single piece of equipment.

3. Controls and Software Integration

We program and configure controls that connect your conveyor system to your existing WMS, ERP, or WES environment. This is where hardware becomes an intelligent system.

4. Installation and Commissioning

Our technicians handle installation, startup, and testing on-site. We do not hand off a machine and leave. We commission the system, train your operators, and confirm performance before we close the project.

Creative Packaging Solutions is based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and serves manufacturers, distributors, and production facilities across the contiguous United States. Whether your facility is in the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, the Midwest, or beyond, our engineering and installation teams work on-site to deliver and commission your automated conveyor system where you operate.

An automated conveyor system is a long-term asset. We support it like one.

After installation, our team remains available for:

  • Scheduled preventive maintenance
  • Emergency service and troubleshooting
  • Replacement parts and component sourcing
  • Operator training for new staff
  • System modifications as your line evolves

When something goes wrong on your floor, you deserve a partner who picks up the phone and knows your system. That is what we provide.
