Turnkey Projects

Design, procurement, installation, software and commissioning on a turnkey basis.

For a new automated warehouse, distribution center or in-plant material flow system, PBC Technology takes on the entire project: requirements analysis, design, equipment procurement, installation, software and commissioning. You take over a working system.

Scope of services

The project runs in five phases. Each phase closes with a decision made together with the customer.

  1. 01

    Data analysis and concept design

    Your order, inventory and capacity data are analyzed. Several layout options are prepared and compared through simulation.

  2. 02

    Detailed design and engineering

    Layout, mechanical, electrical and control drawings are produced for the selected option, and the equipment list is finalized.

  3. 03

    Equipment procurement

    Mechanical equipment is sourced from the international manufacturer that best fits the project. PBC manages ordering, production follow-up and delivery.

  4. 04

    Installation, integration and commissioning

    Installation, cabling and software setup are carried out on site. The system is tested against the capacity values in the contract and then handed over.

  5. 05

    Training, handover and support

    Operators and maintenance staff are trained and documentation is handed over. Service and technical support continue after handover.

System components

Storage, picking, sortation, conveyor, control and electrical components are selected for each project.

Storage

Pallet AS/RS, miniload and shuttle systems.

Picking

Goods-to-person stations and pick-to-light.

Sortation

Cross-belt and sliding-shoe sorters, induction lines.

Conveying

Carton, tote and pallet conveyors.

Controls and software

PLC, SCADA, HMI and warehouse control system (WCS).

Electrical

Control panels, field cabling and safety systems.

Project timeline and return on investment

Project duration and return on investment are calculated from your data during the initial assessment. Payback periods start from two years, depending on the operation. PBC Technology works with operations of every size, from a single line to a complete distribution center.

Why PBC Technology

Turnkey delivery

Design, procurement, installation, software and commissioning fall under the same turnkey scope. If an issue arises, it is clear who is responsible.

Simulation first

Layout and capacity are verified through simulation before installation.

Experience across industries

Completed projects in manufacturing, logistics and distribution, automotive and energy.

European standards

Design, documentation and acceptance tests follow European engineering standards.

Measurable acceptance

Performance targets are set at the start of the project; the system is tested and monitored against them.

Initial assessment

Initial assessment for your project

Share brief information about your facility and goals. The team assesses whether your warehouse is suited to automation and which solutions are possible, then contacts you.
