Material Handling

Automated Material Handling Solutions That Keep Your Operations Moving

From raw materials to finished goods—and every stage in between—MWES designs and integrates advanced material handling systems that keep your factory floor efficient, organized, and agile. Whether you’re moving parts between workstations, batching in-process materials, or managing inventory across facilities, our custom-engineered systems are built to align with your production flow and factory layout.

Our solutions go beyond basic transport. We incorporate Work-in-Process (WIP) management strategies, custom dunnage systems to protect part quality during transport and storage, and automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) that increase storage density without compromising access or inventory control. Our automated guided vehicles (AGVs) offer flexible movement of materials without the footprint or constraints of traditional conveyors—ideal for dynamic factory environments with evolving layouts.
