The Essential Conveyors Extension focuses on providing generic building blocks for designing a conveyor system. These are designed to carry around a vast variety of MTBH (Materials to be Handled).

This is very useful for:

• Creating a 3D layout of a conveyor system, visualizing the space properly rather than just looking at a 2D drawing. Enabling you to easily find blind spots difficult to assess using a 2D drawing.
  
  
• Estimate the cost of the conveyor system by setting a price on each conveyor part. Then get the Bill of Material just a few clicks away.

In this Extension, we have a few essential conveyors categorized into two System Types, Case and Pallet:

Units within these System Types are then categorized as:

Transportation, Accumulation, Gravity, Specialty, Sortation, Transfers, and Lift.

You can also add in basic guarding and supports onto each conveyor:

And some interesting tools that can assist in designing the best conveyor system possible.
