Separate item traceability from parcel capture
DWS captures parcel information. Batch, expiry, serialisation and regulated records need their own agreed software and operational requirements; they are not established by adding a scanner.
Solution studio
Pharmaceutical distribution conveyor solutions
Plan carton transport, right-angle transfers and parcel data capture for split-case and full-carton pharmaceutical dispatch.
Full cartons and packed split-case orders can share an outbound system while following different routes. The layout needs to preserve carton identity through merges, transfers and data capture. Start with sealed transport packaging, the order flow and the required information exchange; product traceability depends on the wider warehouse process as well as the conveyor.
How the goods move
- Collect cartons
Link packing stations to a fixed carton route with defined stops and interfaces.
Equipment in this solution - Transfer between routes
Use lift-and-transfer modules where the carton must change direction at a right angle.
Equipment in this solution - Capture dispatch data
Pair carton identity with measured weight and dimensions before downstream dispatch.

Powered roller conveyors
Custom-made powered roller conveyors for cartons and rigid totes. Configure the length, usable width, transfer heights, roller support and controls around your line.
Pop-up conveyor transfers
Custom-made pop-up conveyor transfers for right-angle goods movement. Configure the module width, length, transfer heights, support pattern and sequence around your adjoining lines.
DWS measurement systems
Custom-made parcel dimensioning, weighing and scanning stations. Configure conveyor dimensions, presentation, measurement arrangement and data interfaces around your parcel flow.
Parcel sorting systems
Custom-made parcel sorting systems planned around your goods, destinations and available layout. Configure conveying widths, heights, induction, diversion and controls as one routing project.
Choose the right arrangement
Maintain identity at each handover
Define the sequence at merges and the response to unread labels, weight exceptions and stopped receiving lines. Check the smallest carton across each transfer gap.
Prepare your project brief
- Full-carton and split-case routes, package range and label positions
- Required parcel records, warehouse messages and exception rules
- Cleaning regime, environment, access and validation responsibilities
Agree the complete project scope
The proposal defines the goods, layout, controls, software interfaces, guarding, delivery and commissioning responsibilities. Capacity and acceptance criteria are specified for the selected configuration.
Planning questions
Does this handle individual medicines?
This layout concerns cartons and packed orders. Individual packs, temperature-controlled handling and specialist validation require a separate assessment and specification.
