Automated Conveyor Systems in Kansas City
Robotic Conveyor Systems For Warehouses & Industrial Applications
Automating Conveyors & Handling Systems
As an independent robotics integrator, TW Automation uses the latest conveyor technologies into the systems we design. We develop conveyor systems that are integrated with our material handling systems to provide maximum ROI.
Advancements have been made to automated conveyors in recent years which allows systems to handle a wider range of products and materials than ever, and increases the performance of today’s modern warehouse, manufacturing facility, or food and beverage packaging.
TW Automation will guide you from the initial design concept, to the installation, and testing on your facility floor. This allows our well trained engineers to complete projects to the customer’s satisfaction.
Conveyor Systems for Robotic Automation
Conveyor systems for robotic automation systems include all types of conveyors that are used to move/transfer raw materials, work in process and finished goods products in/out of work cells. Typical types of conveyors include roller conveyors and belt type conveyors that are often controlled by a master PLC, or the robot. Conveyors are used to control part flow in a manufacturing operation. More specialized conveyor components include pallet transfers and turntables. For example, robot palletizing cells require a conveyor of some sort to move products into a palletizing station and then out of the cell for fork truck pickup.
*Note that TW Automation does not design conveyor systems for complete warehouse automation systems.
Decrease Manufacturing Downtime
An automated assembly system needs no downtime, besides some routine maintenance.
Minimize Errors
A robotic assembly cell removes the potential of “human error.”
High Speed & Performance
Robotic assembly cells only perform precise movements and need no breaks for food and rest.
Reduce Labor Cost
Some are deterred by the up-front cost of automation, but it saves money in the long run.

Automated Conveyor System FAQs
1. What types of automated conveyor systems does TW Automation work with?
TW Automation integrates a wide range of conveyor technologies into robotic work cells, including roller conveyors, belt conveyors, pallet transfer systems, and turntables. These solutions are used to move raw materials, work-in-process parts, and finished goods into and out of automated stations with precise, reliable part flow control.2. How do automated conveyor systems improve manufacturing efficiency?
Automated conveyors support consistent, repeatable part movement, which helps reduce downtime, prevent bottlenecks, and maintain high production speeds. By pairing conveyors with robotic systems and PLC controls, manufacturers benefit from fewer handling errors, improved throughput, and reduced reliance on manual labor.3. Can TW Automation design conveyors for large warehouse or distribution-center automation?
TW Automation focuses strictly on conveyors used inside robotic work cells and manufacturing operations. While we integrate conveyors for machine tending, palletizing, packaging, and assembly, we do not design complete warehouse automation systems.4. How are conveyors controlled within a robotic automation setup?
Conveyors can be operated by a master PLC or the robot itself, depending on the project requirements. This allows seamless synchronization between part flow and robotic actions, ensuring each part arrives at the correct position, orientation, and timing for downstream operations.5. What manufacturing applications benefit most from automated conveyor systems?
Automated conveyors are ideal for robotic palletizing, material handling, inspection, assembly, packaging, and machine-tending environments. Any process that requires consistent part presentation, movement between stations, or hands-off transfer of goods can gain speed, accuracy, and cost savings with an integrated conveyor solution.Made in America
