Summary
Technical role that designs and evaluates conveyor systems for efficiently transporting products and materials in factories and warehouses from structural and control perspectives.
Description
Conveyor system design engineers design equipment to safely and efficiently move products and materials within factories and logistics centers. They align requirements with customers or production technology departments, conduct structural design suited to processing capacity and installation environment, determine specifications for drive units and control systems, and select materials. They create drawings using 2D/3D CAD, verify safety and durability through strength analysis and simulations. They also handle cost management, coordination with procurement departments, trial operations and adjustments, troubleshooting, and improvement proposals.
Future Outlook
With the growing demand for automation and labor-saving in manufacturing, the demand for conveyor system design engineers remains stable. Knowledge of data integration and control technologies using IoT and AI will add value with the implementation of smart factories.
