Where We Came From:
CCS was founded by Tom Carter in 1981 in Frederick, MD. In the early years, CCS primarily designed and manufactured control panels and controls-related equipment. This changed in the late 80s when CCS debuted its 24vDC MDR conveyor system, CarterRoll™ Conveyor, the same conveyor we still use and install with all of our Intelligent Automation solutions. CCS primarily installed CarterRoll™ in USPS GMHS approved vendors such as Bulk Mail Centers, Air Mail Facilities and Processing and Distribution Centers for the US Postal Service.
In the early 2000s CCS branched out into the commercial market and began installing CarterRoll™ systems in commercial mail house market. In the late 2000’s, CCS took steps into automation and began manufacturing automation solutions for ecommerce and distribution companies. Since then, we have expanded those services to include everything that we offer today.
How We’re Different:
We are a one-stop-shop for intelligent automation solutions. We will start your project with you – even if you don’t know where to begin – by visiting your facilities and helping you identify areas of improvement in your supply chain. After that, we are with you through the entire design process, working with you to ensure that the solution we engineer checks every box you need it to. Then, we handle the manufacturing and installation of your system. Your solution is then protected with our warranty and service guarantee, so as long as you’re utilizing a CCS automation solution in your warehouse, we are with you to help ensure it continues to work effectively.
