Probable Causes (ranked)

Fix Steps

  1. 1 Check load position on conveyor — is it at the correct handoff point?
  2. 2 Verify crane platform is aligned with the conveyor height and position
  3. 3 Inspect handoff zone for physical obstructions — debris, pallet fragments, wrapping material
  4. 4 Check all handoff sensors — load present on conveyor, load clear on crane, alignment sensors
  5. 5 Verify conveyor motor is running — check VFD status for faults
  6. 6 If load is partially transferred, manually complete or retract the load (follow LOTO procedures)

Field Trick

The handoff point between conveyor and crane is the highest-maintenance area in any AS/RS system. Put it on a weekly inspection schedule — check roller alignment, sensor cleanliness, and conveyor chain tension at the handoff zone. 40% of AS/RS downtime happens at this one point.
