Functions
Engineered Versatility: From Induction to Outbound
Every material handling system is really a series of specific jobs — moving, sorting, buffering, assembling — that have to work as one continuous line, not as separate pieces bolted together. We design and build each of these functions in-house, so they’re engineered to work together from the start.

Modular Functionality
The strength of a material handling system lies in its ability to execute specific tasks without compromising flow. Every system is really a series of handshakes between functions — whether that’s a robotic cell or a simple transfer, the product (and the data describing it) has to move cleanly from one function to the next.
The Intelligence Behind the Movement
We provide integrated logic, not just hardware. Facility Functions uses a decentralized control architecture that reduces central PLC burden and speeds up zone-level response time. That approach delivers strong performance today and leaves room for rapid reconfiguration as your operational needs change.
Precision at Every Touchpoint
From in-feed to pallet, our engineered solutions protect your product and maximize operator efficiency. Using 24VDC MDR and Zero Pressure Accumulation, we maintain precise, zone-level control across the entire line — not just at isolated points.
Explore how we solve throughput challenges through the core capabilities below.
Precision Handling & Fulfillment
- We implement light-directed picking solutions that increase throughput and virtually eliminate selection errors.
- By integrating with your existing WMS, we streamline fulfillment and allow for rapid onboarding of seasonal labor.
- We design specialized flows for complex order assembly and kitting operations.
- We engineer high-density fulfillment flows that pace product delivery to the operator's requirements, eliminating dwell time and maintaining consistent throughput.
- We provide comprehensive mechanical and electrical integration for robotic picking, packing, and machine tending.
- Our focus stays on the handshake between systems — safe transitions and consistent cycle times.
High-Velocity Flow & Sortation
High-Speed Sortation
We engineer sortation systems — from sliding shoe to pop-up wheel diverts — capable of managing diverse packaging types at high speeds.
Decentralized control logic allows for precise timing and tracking, so every SKU routes to the correct destination with minimal gap requirements.
In-Feed and Induction
The efficiency of a system is determined at the point of entry.
We design induction zones that properly gap, orient, and pace product flow, preventing downstream jams and optimizing total system capacity.
Product Transport & Transfer
We use high-torque 24VDC MDR technology for horizontal and vertical movement of goods.
Whether executing 90-degree transfers or long-distance transport, our systems prioritize smooth transitions that maintain product orientation and integrity.
Intelligent Buffer & End-of-Line
Accumulation
- Using Zero Pressure Accumulation (ZPA) logic, we provide intelligent buffering that prevents product contact.
- This is essential for protecting fragile goods and managing flow variances between discrete processes like labeling and palletizing.
Palletizing & Depalletizing
- We automate the transition between case handling and pallet loads.
- Our systems manage the heavy-duty requirements of full-layer or robotic palletizing, ensuring stable loads and direct integration with end-of-line equipment.
Integrated Assembly Workstations
- We design and manufacture specialized conveyor interfaces for assembly and inspection zones.
- By integrating lift, rotate, or bypass functions directly into the workstation conveyor, we eliminate manual product handling and streamline sub-assembly tasks.
