The Value of a Custom IntelliTrak Overhead Conveyor System

IntelliTrak: The Gold Standard for Overhead Conveyor

There’s a reason why IntelliTrak has become the gold standard for overhead conveyor:

Since 1994, IntelliTrak has been engineering and manufacturing custom overhead conveyors in North America under an exclusive license agreement with OCS AB. Innovative technology enhancements have evolved the original IntelliTrak overhead conveyor into a comprehensive line of material handling solutions that can handle 40,000+ lb. loads–all custom-engineered  for a wide variety of applications.  Our product line includes overhead and inverted conveyor systems, vertical lifts and shuttles, custom controls systems, floor conveyor and tool rail solutions.

IntelliTrak is committed to providing high quality, efficient, reliable, cost-effective and state-of-the-art custom material handling solutions that will help our customers achieve their objectives, both now and in the future. 

Proof of Value

IntelliTrak systems are inherently modular. The support system is bolted together (not welded) making modifications easier, often with minimal or no downtime.

  • Bolted construction is easily modified or expanded, and scalable.
  • Endless number of fully-independent driven and non-driven sections give you the flexibility to determine what moves and when.
  • Lifts, for vertical elevation changes.
  • Shuttles, for moving product from one line to another.
  • Load bars and carriers made specifically for your process.
  • Curves, switches, and deadhead/spurs allow for quick changes to flow, process or recipes

Easily integrated vertical lifts and shuttles (vs. radial turns)  can reduce floor space requirements by up to 50%.

Custom engineered vertical drop lifts increase multi-level vertical build capabilities making use of previously unused overhead space. 

Custom over/under design optimizes floor space with cantilever lifts on each end for an elevated return of empty carriers.

Ceiling supported systems provide unimpeded floor space.

By design, IntelliTrak conveyor systems have fewer wear parts, with minimal maintenance required. Highly-skilled technicians are not necessary, making what maintenance is required, less expensive. 

A more efficient independent zone control keeps the IntelliTrak conveyor system moving, allowing for maintenance or modifications on one section while another continues to run, resulting in little or no downtime.

Customized controls systems provide the ability to program part-specific recipes with varying speeds.

Each IntelliTrak System is custom-engineered and specific to customer application and load requirements. 

The inherent flexibility of the IntelliTrak Overhead Conveyor System allows for easier modifications or expansions. For one of our customers, it meant adding the capability to complete entire projects in-house, giving them full control over their manufacturing process. Ultimately, it allowed them to reduce throughput time and improve the quality of the finished product.

What our customers are saying...

“…least costly for me”

Although initial price was a little higher than the alternatives, when you consider it from a cost-per-square-foot basis, as well as for its ability to do far more than the other systems, it was actually the least costly for me, saving me a ton of room for other processes."

“…organize the work-flow…”

In my 35 years with Hunter Douglas Window Fashions the overhead conveyor systems from OCS were the single best thing we installed to organize the work-flow on our factory floors.

“…very reliable offering minimal downtime”

We have OCS IntelliTrak conveyor lines in several of our automotive manufacturing plants across the USA and Canada. The IntelliTrak conveyor systems have offered us the flexibility to seamlessly retool from platform to platform. One of our systems is now entering a 3rd product life cycle and hence will span 15 years in production. The equipment has proven to stand the test of time and is very reliable offering minimal downtime.

“We’ve had no downtime because of the system”

“We’ve had no downtime because of the system…There’s been a motor we’ve had to replace, a couple of electronics parts here and there, but we’ve had replacements on hand, we’ve been able to change them out and keep running…
The beauty of the system is that it can always be added. The system is so modular that we can, at any point and time, say I want to put this on here and it can be installed while we’re actually in production."
