Situation and Requirements
This project takes place in a courier company's warehouse loading area, requiring connection for loading operations of 9.6m and 7.6m trucks. The goods to be loaded are diverse, including packaged items, boxed consignments, and irregular large parcels.
The core on-site goal is to integrate barcode scanning into the loading process: after goods are scanned, they enter the truck directly, eliminating intermediate handling steps such as landing and transferring post-scan.
How the solution links (equipment and flow)
The site uses a combination of a medium incline conveyor and a multi-wedge belt-driven rubber-covered roller conveyor to create a continuous conveying path from the warehouse to the truck compartment.
Both the floor section and the truck compartment section are equipped with rubber-covered roller conveyors, connected before and after the medium incline conveyor: goods enter from the ground section, ascend through the incline segment, and then continue through the in-truck roller section.
The barcode scanner is placed within the conveying line so that goods are scanned while in motion, keeping the line uninterrupted without descending and transferring after scanning, and sending the items directly into subsequent conveying segments until they reach the truck.

Operation Flow and Manual Coordination
Loading: Warehouse workers place goods onto the ground-level rubber-covered roller conveyor, which moves them along the line.
Scanning: After the goods pass through the barcode scanner, they are released directly into the next conveying segment, keeping the entire process continuous.
Entering the truck: Goods transition from the medium incline conveyor to the in-truck rubber-covered roller conveyor, continuing onward into the cargo space.
Manual intervention points: For abnormal or irregular large parcels, workers adjust posture and confirm safety during conveying; inside the truck, manual assistance positions and organizes items to complete the loading.
Changes After Implementation
With this combination, the link from scanning to entering the truck becomes seamless, so scanned goods no longer have to land and be transferred, reducing intermediate handling and improving loading efficiency.
Regarding cargo compatibility, packaged items, boxed goods, and irregular large parcels can all be conveyed and loaded along the line; in terms of vehicle interface, the setup serves both 9.6m and 7.6m truck loading operations.
