As a specialist for conveyor technology, mk has many years of experience with the intralogistics of a wide range of industries. We develop and implement highly flexible components and transport systems for automated material flows, with a focus on short throughput times and high availability.
mk helps companies successfully shape their value stream, including their logistics processes. We offer optimised material flows and state-of-the-art transport systems that are undergoing constant innovation.
mk’s engineering expertise ensures that piece goods are provided, packaged or stored in the right location at the right time. Roller conveyors are the primary system used in this sector, where they serve as buffering and sorting lines for transporting pallets and crates of piece goods.
We also work with our partners and subsidiaries to offer state-of-the-art RFID and barcode technology as well as systems for measuring weight/volume and processing digital images.
After Christmas, the volume of returns skyrockets – and with it, the pressure on intralogistics. In the returns centre of a logistics service provider, employees are under immense pressure during this time transferring returned items to the returns process.
A postal service provider wanted to allow its drivers to deliver to the logistics centre at any time without waiting. The idea: An automated conveyor line moves the delivered crates from the outside area through a wall opening into the logistics centre.
To process returns, a logistics service provider needs a very long, circulating belt conveyor. The returns are packed in standardised boxes and are to be conveyed in a circuit. The boxes are removed manually from a continuous conveyor belt, processed and put back on the conveyor belt.
A manufacturer of polystyrene insulation boxes, which are used worldwide, wants to keep its boxes in circulation and reuse them multiple times. To assist with this, a partner company is building testing machines in which the used boxes are checked fully automatically.
SEW-EURODRIVE uses automated guided vehicles as mobile workbenches, with perfectly integrated belt conveyors from mk
An assembly line for steering gears requires a partially automated material feed for manual workstations. The challenge – the material feed has to be integrated into an existing hall with very limited space. The workers use an existing pallet circulation system.
Feeding, storage and positioning system for the unloading and removal of large load carriers in a production plant for electric drives.
In an automotive factory, empty small load carriers are collected and cleaned at a central point, where they are then sorted according to size, type and design. A sorting line that can hold the large quantities of small load carriers and react to the different throughputs is now required.
Several platforms with stairs are required at a logistics centre belonging to the German armed forces. The platforms are intended to ensure safe and easy access to overseas containers that are stacked on top of one another. They need to be used across the entire site and therefore need to be on…

Electronic components to be used in the production of converter modules in ultrasonics need to be staged at a manual assembly station. The required components are held in the customer’s own pallets, which are to be removed and returned manually in the staging area.
