Motorized drive rollers (MDR), with their own internal motors, are inherently modular, and make designing, building, and expanding your conveyor system faster and easier.

Distributed, modular I/O means there's no need for miles of complicated wiring from a centralized panel to each device in the field. Locating I/O modules near devices introduces flexibility and cost savings previously unheard of in conventional systems.

With good sortation management control software, you can control and monitor a variety of sortation system functionalities. Choosing an SMC package made up of proven and tested functional modules means you can get a fully customized SMC quickly and cost-effectively.

Both peer-to-peer and master/slave models of conveyor control can be made distributed and modular. There are advantage trade-offs between models, and it's important to understand the differences between them.
