Our material handling systems integrators take a deeply collaborative approach to help decision-makers take the best next step.

These decisions are not made in a vacuum. Our process goes beyond simple ROI to explore our customers’ overall business strategy, human resource objectives, and facility plans. This deep dive into the intralogistics of single facilities and the interrelationships with your distributed network can add value, reduce short-term costs, and set the stage for future growth.

The SilMan System Integration team is a renowned material handling equipment supplier, in partnership with industry-leading manufacturers. Serving parcel, distribution, apparel, food/beverage, and manufacturing sectors. Including the cooperage industry.   For instance, an innovative conveyor system design for a parcel sortation center that included facility improvements to maximize egress and cart paths. Or, a cost-justifiable automated system solution that creates an unexpected pre-sort to increase throughput, lower touches, and raise team member productivity and well-being.

The Unison Warehouse Control System – and our veteran controls team – pave the way to Industry 4.0 automation efficiencies. More than just software, Unison harmonizes every element of your warehouse. For example:

A combination polybag-carton system, in-line weight and dimension capture, and automated print-and-apply shipping labels. Or an automated inspection and sortation system that detects malformed boxes to improve palletizing operations.

And here is a fully automated robotic palletizing system that produces thousands of unique iterations of destinations, product configurations, and pallet sizes.

Equipment and technology updates may require facility improvements to fully realize their benefits. Our Specialty Trade Services team commonly supports the SilMan System Integration group by providing facility improvements, including concrete construction, industrial repair services, electrical systems, and machinery and equipment rigging.

Our seamless internal structure delivers time and cost savings by minimizing reliance on third parties and ensuring quality control throughout the project. All from a single stream of project management and collaboration.
