Our human-machine interfaces (HMIs) provide a user-friendly platform for monitoring and controlling conveyor operation.
PLC Integration
The heart of any efficient conveyor system is its control technology. That's why we specialize in versatile PLC (programmable logic controller) integration. Our custom solutions bring together the best in automation technology to keep your operations running smoothly and efficiently.
Our expertise spans the leading PLC brands in the industry. From the advanced capabilities of Siemens' SIMATIC controllers or the robust reliability of Allen-Bradley's control systems, we have the knowledge and experience to integrate the best PLCs seamlessly into your conveyor system. Our PLC solutions meet a wide range of conveyor automation needs, so that we can meet any operational complexity.
We offer custom PLC programming to optimize your conveyor system. Our skilled engineers work with you to develop solutions that enhance efficiency, reliability and scalability. Whether simple controls or complex automation, our programming boosts productivity and minimizes downtime.
Fluent Conveyors provides remote PLC troubleshooting and program changes, which can be enabled with the integration of ethernet/VPN switches in each panel. This feature allows us to connect to the PLC remotely, enabling swift diagnostics and adjustments without the need for on-site visits.
Automation Systems
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are a cornerstone of our advanced technology integration. By controlling the speed of conveyor motors with precision, VFDs enable adaptable operation, energy savings, and reduced wear on mechanical components. Variable speed drives allow you to control the production rate and throughput of your material handling applications.
Our integration of servo systems into conveyor control panels enables unparalleled control over position, speed, and acceleration. This is particularly beneficial for applications requiring high precision and repeatability. Servo systems enhance the conveyor's ability to perform complex tasks such as sorting, positioning, and synchronized movement with other machinery, thereby increasing the automation level and efficiency of the entire production line.
The integration of HMIs with motor control centers (MCC) further streamlines the management and protection of electric motors driving the conveyor system. This provides a single point of access for system monitoring and adjustments.
For small-scale systems, we offer simple relay logic panels that do not require programming. These are an economical option and minimize downtime when a PLC fails.
These panels are often used in applications where the control requirements are straightforward and do not require complex programming or advanced features found in PLCs.
Sequential Automation Systems:
For operations of advanced complexity, our advanced control systems provide an operator interface for monitoring, managing, and controlling a larger conveyor system.
We can build and program our automated conveyor systems and electrical panels to integrate with your enterprise resource planning (ERP) or manufacturing execution systems (MES) for seamless data flow. We can also integrate with robotics systems and other material handling equipment for coordinated, automated workflow.
Our customized solutions and integrations give you the power and flexibility to manage complex processing equipment and the data it generates, from easy interfaces.
We build our material handling systems, and our industrial control panels, with safety and compliance in mind.
Fluent Conveyors engineers and builds the world’s best conveyor systems to address the material handling challenges faced by a broad range of industries, including construction, demolition, manufacturing, waste management, and recycling. We reduce your need for manual labor, decrease your production costs, and improve your throughput.
We build many types of conveyor systems to address a range of needs in the industry. Our conveyor types include the following:
We design and build each conveyor system in the US to the highest standards of quality, including those specified by CEMA.
Whatever your application or need, our conveyors facilitate the sorting and movement of materials to increase your operational efficiency. We can build a conveyor system (and the electrical control systems to manage it) to streamline your operations.
We also sell replacement conveyor belts and replacement parts for all our conveyors.
