Universal Conveyor Systems Deliver Maximum Efficiency
The Streamline Conveyor System is the backbone of efficient warehouse transport. It’s designed to move containers, cartons, trays and soft packaging up to 110 pounds.
Streamline connects key areas like picking, packing and distribution with speed and reliability. Its modular design allows for flexible layouts and fast installation, making it ideal for dynamic fulfillment environments.
Drawing on the proven design principles of the Streamline system, Powerline combines years of experience with innovative engineering to deliver a modular, scalable solution for conveying, transferring, diverting and buffering pallets. It can also easily be integrated with with Evo Shuttles, AMRs and Workstations for end-to-end automation.
- Automated transport of containers, trays, cartons and pallets between key warehouse zones
- Dynamic routing and buffering to prevent congestion and maintain flow
- Seamless integration with Evo Shuttles, AMRs and Workstations for end-to-end automation
- Visualization via KiSoft SCADA and energy-saving features like EcoMode
Intelligent Integrations
Conveyors + Evo Shuttles:
Streamline Conveyors integrate with Evo Shuttles for seamless tote handoff. Our KiSoft All-in-One Software solution synchronizes conveyor routing with shuttle retrieval sequences, ensuring totes arrive at the right induction point just-in-time. This reduces idle time and maximizes aisle utilization.
Conveyors + Workstations:
Conveyors deliver pallets to ergonomic Workstations for manual or semi-automated tasks. KiSoft triggers label printing, documentation and QA checks just-in-time, while integrated sensors verify pallet contour and weight before release—maintaining compliance and safety.
Conveyors + AMRs:
Powerline Conveyors hand off pallets to AMRs for flexible transport to staging or dock areas, while KiSoft software manages mission assignment and traffic control, ensuring smooth transitions between fixed and mobile systems—without bottlenecks.

They support consistent performance across all areas of the warehouse, without the complexity of full automation.
- High-speed sorting of flat-packed goods.
- Barcode-based item recognition and drop-off.
- Intelligent buffering and sequencing.
- Just-in-time supply to flow racks.
- Decouples picking from shipping.
- Supports cross-docking workflows.
Handling Systems
Handling systems for containers and trays are used in order fulfillment and distribution centers and can handle the following tasks:
- Stacking
- Destacking
- Emptying
- Closing
- Palletizing store containers or empty handling units layer by layer.
- Depalletizing handling units and loading them directly into storage containers.
- Stacking and destacking cartons and standard handling units.
- Loading different container types onto dollies.
- Creating mixed-case pallets with cartons or store containers.
Handling systems process cartons efficiently and automatically across various warehouse processes and can handle the following tasks:
- Erecting
- Closing
- Placing inner cartons
- Opening
- Strapping
Paper handling systems offer a wide range of benefits and integrate smoothly into existing intralogistics processes. Paper handling systems can handle various processes:
- Easily accessible components.
- Cost-effective and time-saving features such as just-in-time print data.
- Quiet operation with on-demand energy consumption.
- Intuitive user guidance supported by clear visualization.
Portfolio of Automatic & Semi-automatic Systems for Packing and Securing Goods
Our comprehensive portfolio of automatic and semi-automatic systems for packing and securing goods for transport ensures both the highest quality and security:
- Bagging machine
- Pallet wrapper
- Banding machine
- Strapping machine
- Shrink wrapper
Right-Sized Packaging
Packing automation can be tailored to your operation, whether you’re starting fresh or upgrading an existing process. Modern solutions range from semi-automated stations to fully automated lines, delivering speed, accuracy and efficiency.
Depending on your setup, packaging can begin with the carton or finish with the carton—each approach designed to optimize space, reduce errors and ensure the right fit for every order. Both methods integrate with existing workflows and provide a fast return on investment.
- Order is received.
- Carton size is calculated by the software.
- Carton is manufactured.
- Goods are picked directly into the right-sized carton.
- Order is picked into a container.
- Goods are measured.
- Carton is manufactured to fit the order.
