Ultimation Stem Scholarship

The 2024 scholarship will again be awarded to a student that can demonstrate innovative systems and ideas for the use of conveyors within automated loading and unloading for semi-trucks and trailers. Automated truck-loading systems (ATLS) are the first link, as well as the last link, in a 100% automated supply chain.

Although there is no “standard” system for ATLS due to the fact that each solution must be custom-tailored to the type of truck, dock, goods, and more; there are typically “main components” to keep in mind. Skid positioning, fork extension, truck modification (required for unloading), dock modification, and automated conveyor systems (such as chain-driven live roller conveyors) are just a few of the main considerations when designing an ATLS.

Automated truck loading systems offer a variety of advantages and benefits such as increased productivity, increased operator safety, protecting products/goods, and more.
