As retailers and distributors rush to launch micro fulfillment centers (MFC) that bring distribution networks closer to the customer, conveyor solutions that are easy to implement and offer material handling flexibility should be at the top of their list, according to Ultimation Industries. Ultimation is the leading direct-to-consumer conveyor manufacturer, specializing in solving productivity challenges with fast-to-deploy solutions for the vertical farming, food processing, automotive, heavy equipment, warehousing, fulfillment, and delivery sectors.

The global market for micro fulfillment centers (MFC) is projected to grow from $3.53 billion in 2022 to more than $113 billion by 2032. Experts estimate that micro fulfillment can reduce cost per order by 75 percent.

"Micro fulfillment centers are becoming an important part of e-commerce, e-grocery, and other industries as companies look to reduce last-mile costs and satisfy customer demands for faster delivery," said Kali Cresent, general manager for Ultimation. "Strategic use of quick-ship conveyors and other material handling solutions can solve many of the problems they face in trying to scale operations quickly."

Retailers and distributors face a number of challenges when launching micro fulfillment centers:

Portec belt curves and conveyors by Interroll are high-speed, low-maintenance, and can handle small to heavy items. Belt conveyors are available in different configurations ranging from horizontal format to incline and decline formats for even more material handling flexibility.

"Standardized conveyor solutions can be configured in so many different ways that customers get the system that's just right for them at a fraction of the cost of a customized solution," said Cresent. "The Ultimation team can help with making the right choices to get micro distribution centers up and running quickly with the most efficient material handling systems."
