Keep products
moving.
Custom conveying, sorting, buffering and automated handling systems — engineered to move totes and cartons safely and efficiently through your operation.
From goods in
to dispatch.
The right handling system keeps your product moving where it needs to be, precisely when it needs to be there.
Whether your totes and cartons carry raw materials, components, work in progress or finished goods, IO Systems designs equipment around the actual movement of your products.
From straight-line transfer to merging, diverting, lifting, accumulating and automated storage, we bring individual operations together into an efficient, integrated solution.
Built for every
movement.
Conveyor Systems
Belt, roller and flexible-chain conveyors for reliable horizontal transfers, including specialist incline, decline and multi-track arrangements.
Sortation & Transfers
Corner units, merges and diverters that redirect cartons or totes accurately while making practical use of available floor space.
Accumulation & Buffering
Controlled accumulation to balance production output, manage temporary delays and hold products between process stages.
Vertical Handling
Elevators and incline or decline conveying that help move products between working levels without unnecessarily extending the production footprint.
Automated Storage
Mini-load cranes and AS/RS solutions that connect intermediate storage or warehouse locations with the wider materials flow.
Robotic Pick & Place
Robot-assisted handling of cartons and totes, with suitable grippers and vision technology where the application requires them.
One connected
workflow.
Moving a product from A to B is rarely just one conveyor. A complete system must coordinate speed, direction, queueing and downstream demand.
Introduce totes and cartons into the process in a controlled way.
Direct products to the correct production or fulfilment stage.
Use accumulation and buffering to accommodate changes in flow.
Move the correct product to the correct destination.
The right system.
The right fit.
We consider what a tote or carton contains, how it behaves in motion and how it interacts with equipment throughout the facility.
By planning the complete handling route, we can recommend a practical combination of equipment for your available space and production requirements.
From process plan
to production flow.
A successful material-handling installation starts with understanding your operation.
IO Systems brings together mechanical and electrical engineering, controls, integration and project delivery to create a system designed around the product route.
We work from the initial concept through system implementation, testing and commissioning.

Less friction.
Better flow.
Well-designed tote and carton handling can reduce unnecessary manual transfers, improve consistency and support a more predictable movement of materials across your facility.
Whether the challenge is queueing, limited floor space or connecting different stages of production, the system should solve the real operational problem.
Design each transfer, route and buffer as part of one joined-up process.
Your operation.
Your solution.
There is no single layout that works for every product or site.
A compact corner transfer, an elevator, an accumulator or a complete integrated materials-handling line may each be the right starting point.
We assess your requirements and combine appropriate equipment into a solution designed to work with your wider operation.
