Logistics & E-commerce
Space-Efficient Solutions for Logistics and E-commerce
Both the logistics and e-commerce industries are characterized by rapid growth with a strong focus on efficiency and automation. By utilizing OCS overhead conveyor systems, valuable floor space is freed up. The system is flexible, robust, and modularly designed for smooth future production changes. For all types of challenges within: Logistics, Distribution, and E-commerce.
Our Solutions for Logistics and E-commerce
The OCS overhead conveyor system, combined with vertical lift modules, is a perfect solution for open-box, e-commerce, and kitting operations. Each hanging trolley can be customized to the customer’s needs regarding size, load, or number of boxes per trolley. By using overhead conveyors, floor space is optimized while improving employee accessibility and ergonomics. The most important factor for increased picking efficiency is that many orders are handled at the vertical lift modules, meaning more potential picks per load tray.
Can be used for both B2C and B2B orders and replenishment simultaneously
Reduces the number of “touches,” i.e., the number of times an item is handled
Separate stations for packing and inbound goods
One picking station for high-frequency items, such as promotional goods
Embedded buffers to balance the flow
Free floor space – easy access to various stations
Why Overhead Conveyors?
Overhead conveyors are one of the most cost-effective ways to optimize internal flows. By positioning the conveyor path above the workspace, free floor areas are created, leading to improved ergonomics and clearer workstations.
The friction-based technology eliminates the need for chains and oil, resulting in quieter operation, reduced maintenance, and lower energy consumption.
For companies that require rapid changeovers or frequently reconfigure their lines, overhead conveyors are an obvious choice – they are modular, scalable, and easy to adapt to new products or increased volumes.

What Our Customers Achieve in Logistics and E-commerce
Through long-term partnerships and customized system solutions, we help our customers in logistics and e-commerce increase picking capacity, reduce manual handling, and utilize their warehouse to its full potential.
Shorter lead times to customer
Reduced manual handling
Improved ergonomics and work environment
Application Areas in Logistics and E-commerce
Our conveyor systems are used in several parts of the logistics flow, from inbound goods and storage to sorting, picking, and outbound delivery.
Vertical storage
OCS overhead conveyor systems are used to store large volumes in minimal floor space. The system is particularly well-suited for hanging garments and other products that require gentle handling throughout the entire flow.
Transport between stations
Our systems connect inbound goods, warehouse, picking, and packing into a continuous flow. Goods move automatically between stations at a steady pace with minimal manual handling.
Sorting in order flows
Overhead conveyor systems are used to deliver the correct product to the right picking station in the correct order, which simplifies packing and reduces the risk of errors in outbound delivery.
