Material Handling System Design

Material Flow Technologies has provided many clients with consulting services to help them evaluate the best available solutions for their operations. Sometimes this is just a reorganization of their processes or a new layout of their facilities. Other times it is an evaluation of several types of systems to improve the efficiency of your processes.

In several projects we have provided a complete Design/Build process. This can be the most efficient and cost-effective method of completing a project. With a Design/Build process we start with the evaluation of the operation and provide alternative solutions that offer improvements in the client’s operations. Once we have determined the optimum solution and evaluated the expected results, we can estimate the return on investment.

Finally, in a Design/Build project Material Flow Technologies provides the equipment and integration services to complete the project. Working on a cost-plus basis we can assure the customer of optimum value and reduce the risks by providing a single source of responsibility.

Whether you are looking at a single application or redesigning your whole operation Material Flow Technologies can provide the expertise to assist you from evaluation through implementation.

Consulting

Our consulting solutions are focused on the complete operation and not just the specific pain resulting from a sub-process. A consult will many times locate problems upstream and/or downstream that may be the root cause of the problems. By approaching the problem this way, we can correct problems in the entire system.

We like to address the identified problem as a part of the whole operational dynamic and to help identify other potential areas of improvement. Due to our strong background in material handling specific applications, we believe we have the right focus on direct operational improvements. We will not offer solutions that are not within our expertise.

Design & Build

In many scenarios a Design/Build process can be the most efficient and cost-effective method of completing a project. With a Design/Build process we start with an evaluation of the entire operation and provide several alternative solutions that offer improvements in the clients operations. Once we have determined the optimum solution and evaluated the anticipated results, we can estimate the return on investment.

Finally, in a Design/Build project Material Flow Technologies provides the equipment and integration services to complete the project. Working on a cost-plus basis we can assure the customer of optimum value and reduce the risks by providing a single source of responsibility.

System Design

We also provide material handling equipment, from the industry leaders, and layout design for our clients. We look at each application as a system that is integrated with the client’s other processes and systems. Our design services are sometimes provided as an extension of our consulting services or can be included in a Design/Build process. 

We will develop an efficient layout for your facility including existing applications and new equipment that properly aligns your operation with you stated objectives safely and efficiently.
