Consumer Product Manufacturing
Scale the Simple Way and Grow with Confidence
Scale with Confidence.
Consumer products demands change constantly, and you need to manufacture something not only to meet the demands of today but also to prepare for tomorrow. As product life cycles change, your automation system needs to be flexible enough to adapt to market uncertainty and confidently scale your business with as little risk as possible.
Are You Ready to Decide?
Before you decide on the foundation for your factory automation, ask yourself:
- Does this system allow for innovation or are we simply duplicating old processes?
- How long will it be before the product changes and the process needs to change with it?
- Is our market well defined or will we need to increase our production capacity and expectations to align with business growth?
SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ is modular by design – allowing you to expand and adapt as your needs change.
Maximize Floorspace
While customer demands may be increasing, floorspace can come at a premium cost, making expansion of your current process unsustainable. With SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™, integrated functionality allows manufacturers to achieve high-performance in the minimum amount of space by reducing tooling and station redundancies.
Scale During Market Uncertainty
We understand that not everyone can start big.
The SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ platform is modular in nature and allows you to expand the systems as your operations scale.
Product lifecycles are also contracting, meaning changes are happening more often. With the SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ platform, manufacturers can reconfigure and re-deploy the platform as needed with a minimal amount of programming. This accommodates changes and maintains production without a sizable capital expenditure each time.
Improve Product Quality
With consumer products, many pieces often go to waste due to slight imperfections. This can be costly for manufacturers.
The platform’s included TrakMaster™ software also provides diagnostic insights to highlight station metrics such as cycle time and shuttle transfers to help optimize your process and improve Operational Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
Popular Consumer Product Manufacturing Applications:
- Spray Pump
- Measuring Tape Sub-assembly
- Disposable shavers
- Knife assembly
- PLC components
- Household electronics

Expansion and Retraction: How Smart Conveyance Can Keep Your Business Consistently Profitable Even When Your Supply Chain Isn’t
In manufacturing, we often talk about scaling up to meet market demand. But what happens when supply can’t keep up with demand? Market and supply chain uncertainty can have a significant impact on your business. The forces that determine if you will be able to meet your throughput goals can be outside of your control. When you build a automation …
