Industrial Control Systems, Inc. (ICS) designs and implements warehouse automation systems that streamline material flow from receiving through shipping. We integrate conveyor systems, sortation equipment, automated storage, and warehouse control software to increase throughput, reduce labor costs, and improve order accuracy for manufacturing and distribution operations.
ICS implements a range of warehouse automation technologies including powered conveyor systems (belt, roller, chain, flexible), sortation systems (diverters, pop-up wheel sorters, sliding shoe), automated palletizing and depalletizing, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), vertical lift modules (VLMs) and automated storage/retrieval systems, pick-to-light and put-to-light systems, automated stretch wrapping and labeling, and warehouse control system (WCS) software. We design each system around your specific product mix, throughput requirements, and facility layout.
Conveyor systems are the backbone of warehouse automation. ICS designs conveyor networks that move products efficiently through your facility, with PLC-controlled zone routing, merges, diverts, and accumulation. We integrate barcode scanners and RFID readers at key decision points for automated routing. Our conveyor control systems interface with your WMS (Warehouse Management System) to receive orders and report status in real time.
ICS automates the end-of-line packaging process including case erecting, product loading, case sealing, labeling, palletizing, and stretch wrapping. We integrate these operations into a seamless flow controlled by a single PLC system with unified operator interfaces. Automated end-of-line systems typically reduce labor requirements by 50-70% while improving consistency and throughput.
Our warehouse automation clients include food and beverage distributors, pet food manufacturers, building materials companies, e-commerce fulfillment operations, and general manufacturing facilities nationwide.
