When Software Defines the Outcome: Rethinking Conveyor and Material Flow Design
Traditional conveyor systems are typically designed around mechanical constraints, creating increasing complexity as operational demands grow. This session explores a different approach to material flow, where small, intelligent cells work together as a coordinated system to move, rotate, and position products freely on a single surface.
Inspired by concepts from robotic soccer, the technology shifts control from hardware into software, allowing systems to become more flexible, compact, and easier to maintain. Through practical examples and live applications, the session will demonstrate how software-defined material flow is reshaping conveyor and sortation design across modern intralogistics environments
3 Key Learnings:
- Understand how software-defined material flow differs from traditional conveyor design
- See how coordinated intelligent cells can improve flexibility, uptime, and system adaptability
- Recognise practical applications for conveyor simplification, sortation, and product handling
