New Zealand's e-commerce sector is thriving, and the future looks bright. As the official cash rate (OCR) progressively yet steadily declines, consumers feel more confident to spend, further fuelling online sales. NZ Post Business IQ’s latest report confirms this trend, showing Q4 2024 online spending reached $1.73 billion, a 9% year-on-year increase. Even more impressive is the 14% jump in transactions, indicating a strong and sustained growth trajectory. This presents a great opportunity for Kiwi businesses, but are your warehousing and distribution operations equipped to take advantage of it?
This surge in online activity puts pressure on warehousing and distribution, particularly regarding streamlined processes and efficient material handling solutions. Increased order volumes, faster turnaround times and increasingly complex picking and packing processes translate to real challenges such as maintaining precise inventory accuracy while fulfilling orders faster. Labour costs must be optimised, warehouse space utilised effectively and order fulfilment errors minimised. For businesses to succeed, optimising every stage of the supply chain becomes crucial.
Dyno Conveyors understands these challenges and offers tailored solutions to keep your operations moving smoothly. We offer a comprehensive range of conveyor and automation systems designed specifically for the demands of today's fast-paced e-commerce environment.
Dyno Conveyors offers a wide range of both belt and roller conveyors designed to optimise material handling within your warehouse.
Belt conveyors are ideal for moving a variety of products, from small items to bulky parcels, and they can be customised with different belt materials and widths to suit specific needs. For example, our Tranzbelt S20 can be configured to handle a range of items, from delicate packages to heavier cartons.
Roller conveyors, available in both powered and gravity-fed options, provide a cost-effective solution for accumulating and transporting goods, especially useful in packing stations and dispatch areas. Dyno's diverse range of roller types, including steel, plastic and tapered rollers, ensures flexibility in handling various package sizes and weights, including large pallets. Dyno’s advanced 24v DynoDrive powered roller conveyors are tried and trusted in numerous warehouse operations throughout New Zealand and Australia, and we can also supply more traditional roller accumulation systems.
Both belt and roller conveyors can be easily integrated with other systems and equipment to create a comprehensive material handling solution tailored to your warehouse.
Dyno's telescopic conveyors offer a great solution for streamlining loading and unloading processes, particularly when dealing with high volumes of goods and tight turnaround times. With a telescopic boom extending up to 12 metres, these conveyors can reach deep into shipping containers (or trucks and trailers), minimising manual handling and significantly reducing the time and labour, freeing up valuable staff for other tasks.
The expandable conveyors represent a unique solution for warehouses needing adaptable material handling. For instance, the Xpandaroll, with its ability to compress down to a compact 1.6 metres, provides exceptional space-saving capabilities. This makes it ideal for warehouses with limited space or those needing to create temporary conveyor lines for specific tasks or peak periods, such as the Christmas rush! The Powered Roller Xpandaroll adds further versatility, with products being transported automatically, meaning it can be easily incorporated into conveyor lines.
Both telescopic and expandable conveyors can be used as stand-alone units for specific tasks or integrated into a larger automated system, providing flexibility and adaptability for various warehouse needs.
The increased efficiency and flexibility translate directly to faster order fulfilment, improved customer satisfaction, reduced demurrage costs and improved overall workplace safety - ultimately maximising profitability.
Dyno's vertical conveyors transport items between multiple levels, saving time and effort. Lifts, spirals, slides and chutes - they're the best use of space in new and existing building layouts. For example, the Ambaflex SpiralVeyor® continuously moves products up and down multiple levels, making it ideal for high-throughput applications where space is limited. This continuous vertical conveyor provides a smooth and efficient way to transport goods between floors, optimising warehouse operations and maximising space utilisation.
In addition to spiral conveyors, Dyno offers a range of vertical lifts suitable for various applications such as the Prorunner® Mk5 that provides shock-free movement and keeps products upright during vertical transport. This is particularly useful for fragile or sensitive items that require careful handling.
Dyno Conveyors can work with you to design and install a vertical conveyor system that integrates with your existing layout and material handling processes. This can include continuous vertical conveyors like the Ambaflex SpiralVeyor® for high-throughput applications or reciprocating vertical conveyors for more specific needs.
Sortation systems are the cornerstones of order fulfilment for medium- to high-volume e-commerce operations. Dyno offers a range of sortation solutions to streamline this process, ensuring that products are directed to the correct packing or shipping lanes quickly and accurately.
For example, the 24v DynoDrive Flow Sort Twist Sorter is a high-speed, modular sorting line designed for the post and parcel industry. It's easily configurable and allows for scalability as your business grows. Another excellent option is the Itoh Denki 24v DC F-RAT for flat right angle transfer. This compact and efficient unit quickly and quietly shifts items in any direction, making it ideal for integrating into existing conveyor systems to enhance sorting capabilities.
Dyno can work with you to design and integrate a sortation system that meets your unique requirements. This can include integrating our conveyors with sorter transfer modules and other technologies to direct products to the correct packing or shipping lanes. These systems can be further integrated with barcode scanners and warehouse management systems for automated sorting, significantly reducing manual handling and errors, which is crucial for efficient and accurate order fulfilment in a busy e-commerce environment.
Beyond individual conveyor components, Dyno Conveyors has expertise in integrating complete systems that answer e-commerce warehouse challenges - the need for speed, accuracy, and optimised space and labour. We work closely with our clients to design and implement complete solutions, including automation and dimensioning, weighing, and scanning (DWS) systems integration.
This integration allows for accurate data capture, eliminating manual processes and reducing errors. All Dyno's belt and roller conveyors can be integrated with DWS systems, ensuring that every item is accurately measured and tracked, improving traceability throughout your warehouse. This includes capturing dimensions and weight of palletised shipments, essential data for logistics planning and freight cost management.
By automating these processes, Dyno's integrated solutions help streamline operations and improve efficiency in your e-commerce warehouse. This leads to increased order fulfilment speed, improved accuracy, optimised labour, enhanced space utilisation, and valuable insights to improve your operations.
