Regular walks of the conveyor belt(s) are effective ways to assess the system, catalog its components, and identify areas that need service or offer opportunities for improved efficiency.

Conveyors aren’t complex but if they’re not understood, their problems can become complex. Conveyor belts are like giant rubber bands wrapped around pulleys. If one of those components in the process fails, it can lead to catastrophic consequences.
