Sortation Systems

​Sortation is critical to fulfillment & logistics systems and can be used in multiple ways  -

• Sort to Dock (Cases and Packages) 
• Cross Docking 
• Order Picking 

Multiple Types of sortation technologies are available, selection of right type of sorter, the sortation logic, and other support equipment is based on the needs of the project -

• Throughput required (2,000 pieces per hour to 30,000 pieces per hour or more)
• Size of package (from small accessories and CDs to large cases and bags)
• Weight of Package (a few grams to 30-40 Kgs)
• Conveyability of the Product to Sorted
• Fragility of the product, does it need delicate handling
• Number of primary sorting locations required (we do not recommend PTL based secondary sorts)
• Need for future expansion
• Space available within the building
• Quality of bar code information​
• Need for additional information like weight and volume of products​​
