Package Handling Systems that think outside the box

With the rise of e-commerce and the corresponding increase in direct-to-consumer shipments to fill orders of one or two items at a time, having the optimal parcel handling system design for an operation is critical to meeting customers’ expectations.

Today’s parcel handling systems can be created for major third-party carriers, large retailers’ middle-mile sortation centers, or last-mile delivery hubs. They must incorporate a tightly synchronized collection of automated material handling equipment and technologies that optimize conveyance and sortation of a broad range of parcel sizes, weights, shapes, and packaging materials. And they need to deliver accuracy, speed, precision, and flexibility- whether the parcels are cardboard cartons, slippery polybags, padded mailers, or envelopes.

Custom Package Handling Solutions

Prior to creating a new parcel handling system design, DCS engineers work with a customer to gain insight into the speed and throughput requirements of the system, as well as the types of packages to be handled. As part of DCS’s design consulting service, multiple solution proposals may be generated to help facility operators select the custom material handling system solution option that best achieves their goals. 

Upon concept approval, DCS will design and build the custom solution using sourced from a variety of leading manufacturers. To ensure maximum reliability and uptime, DCS specifies optimal systems and components- including material handling equipment, conveyor systems, and sortation technologies- that are best suited to the application.

Further, every DCS parcel handling system is backed by 24/7 customer support.
