System Manufacture

Orders are placed with our trusted manufacturing partners, with engineering layout drawings and data shared to ensure successful mechanical, electrical and software interfacing across all parts of your new system.

Installation & Commissioning

The deliveries, ingress and installation will be meticulously planned and overseen by our Project Management teams, ensuring minimal disruption on site. All systems are thoroughly commissioned and tested before being handed to the customer for use.

Documentation & Support

Post commissioning we carry out operator training, issue our O&M pack along with details on our aftersales services including spare part packages, service contracts, breakdown services etc, all designed to keep your system performing for many years.

The Brief

Whether you require a bespoke conveyor and automation system for a brand-new facility or an upgrade to an existing installation, CSL will look at your requirements and plan for a solution that works for you.

Quotation and 3D Visualisation

Our initial proposals are visualised using the latest 3D technology including real-time simulations to accurately represent achievable throughput and efficiency. Continued regular dialogue helps us to develop the best solution to suit your requirements.

Contract Placement & Design

Once the contract has been placed, a Project Manager is assigned and along with our engineers will carry out a full site survey, produce a detailed project plan and finalise a Functional Design Specification including detailed drawings for approval prior to manufacture.

At Conveyor Systems Limited, we pride ourselves on offering a thorough and professional solution from our sales team, system designers, applications engineers, project managers and engineers.

The CSL service does not end after the project is complete, our comprehensive maintenance contracts and spare parts packages are available upon completion of your project to help maximise the lifecycle of your system and keeping ROI on track while minimising downtime.

“We’re delighted with the relationship we have established with CSL and we’re delighted with the end results the project has delivered. I would have no qualms recommending CSL as a partner for automation projects and I’m sure we’ll be working with them again in the not too distant future as Timco continues to grow”.

The Brief

Whether you require a bespoke conveyor and automation system for a brand-new facility or an upgrade to an existing installation due to expansion or increased demand in your product, CSL will look at your requirements and plan for a solution that works for you.

Installation & Commissioning

A schedule of delivery and installation will be put in place and overseen by the Project Manager, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing production, and conducted to industry standard and on-site health & safety regulations.

Documentation & Support

Post commissioning, we provide technical support, documentation, and training to ensure optimum performance from your system. Maintenance contracts are available including out of hours breakdown service and spare parts packages, recommended to guarantee the availability of required parts and minimise potential downtime.

The Brief

From the first meeting to project completion, it is important that your exact requirements are taken into account. To ensure this we will guide and advise you through every stage during the project process:

  • All aspects of your requirements (such as building size, space constraints, fire exits, personnel and truck access routes, integration with existing equipment, manning levels, etc.) are taken into consideration at the initial stage.
  • We plan and design our systems specifically to suit your product, from individual cartons or packages up to fully loaded pallets.
  • Our final design is not an off-the-shelf solution, but an amalgamation of both standard and custom made elements to ensure the perfect solution for your business.

Quotation and 3D Visualisation

At the initial quotation stage we use 2D and 3D system visualisation, to help us to develop and design the best solution to suit your requirements:

  • We actively encourage regular client dialogue to help ascertain all the information required to enable us to put forward a meaningful offer.
  • 3D real time simulations can be produced to prove throughputs and design philosophy’s.
  • A detailed quotation will be presented to incorporate a comprehensive specification for all the mechanical and electrical components specific to the project.

Contract Placement & Design

Once the contract has been placed a Project Manager is assigned to your project, providing you with a single point of contact. This ensures a clear and defined line of communication from design through to commissioning:

  • Our Project Manager and Engineers perform a full site survey, checking all building dimensions, machinery positions, walk-ways, exits, etc.
  • A detailed project plan is produced defining all critical paths, installation activities and completion dates.
  • System Design Specification (SDS) and Functional Design Requirement to Functional Design Specification
  • Detailed project drawings are presented for your approval prior to commencement of manufacture.

System Manufacture

Besides providing a functional scheme, our first priority is to design a reliable, user friendly system which is optimised for easy maintenance and operational safety:

  • Engineering layout drawings are produced using the latest design technology which clarifies the mechanical and electrical interfacing between new and existing equipment.
  • A technical liaison with other equipment suppliers is established during this phase with regard to interfacing with our system.
  • Software and system philosophy will be tested to ensure that time on site during commissioning is kept to a minimum.

Installation & Commissioning

Your allocated Project Manager will ensure that every aspect of delivery and installation is undertaken on time and with the minimum of disruption to any on-going production:

  • Industry standard as well as onsite health & safety regulations and conditions observed
  • Installations are continuously monitored by the Site Supervisor and Project Manager.
  • Our fully qualified mechanical and electrical engineers have extensive experience working in a wide range of industries.
  • All devices are independently checked post installation, to ensure correct operation.
  • Full commissioning of your system includes throughput speed testing, performance monitoring, software modifications and diagnostics checks.

Documentation & Support

Post commissioning, we continue to provide effective technical support and advice to guarantee optimum performance from your installation to ensure many years trouble free service.

  • We include CE marking of the equipment (stand-alone or integrated) which is issued with your documentation.
  • Comprehensive documentation (according to project type) including maintenance schedules, operational safety recommendations, itemised spares list, finalised drawings and maintenance contracts.
  • Out-of-hours maintenance/breakdown service available.
  • Full training is available for Technicians and Management to help ensure a seamless handover and implement in-house maintenance programmes.
  • We offer Conveyor Care, our comprehensive service and maintenance contracts to ensure your systems keeps working and gets back to work quickly in the event of a breakdown.

Creating relationships that last

We are proud to have completed installations for many major organisations, forging strong relationships and continuing to provide automation solutions through ongoing maintenance or follow-on projects due to expansion and our customers’ trust in CSL to meet and exceed their needs.
