● Sortation is the process of identifying items on a conveyor system and
diverting them to specific destinations using a variety of devices controlled by task-specific software. Sorters are applied to different applications depending upon the product type and the required rate. ● There are two major types of sortation case level and unit sortation. The technologies available to handle each type of sortation fall into two primary types of sortation systems: linear and loop (also known as circular) sortation systems. Characterstics ● Fragility of the materials to be handled ● Product geometry (size, weight) ● Materials (bags, cartons, envelopes) ● Flat bottoms or uneven bottoms ● Rate considerations ● Function of the sorter (packing, routing, shipping) ● Sound level ● Available footprint Uses ● The mobile sortation system helps store associates in intellectually picking and then sorting the batches into discrete orders. ● This system can manage your whole order fulfillment procedure from batching, choosing to end sorting. ● It is capable of reducing cycle times and improve pick efficiency. It helps shippers in processing an increased load of the parcels. ● It can provide company executives with the data, which is required to boost the entire competence and lower costs. ● The mobile sortation systems make sure the consistent, accurate results and Advantages ● Provides cost-effective and efficient flow of goods to consumers ● Reduces labour costs with fast, accurate automation ● Increases throughput capacity in manufacturing and distribution ● Delivers high level of accountability for precise tracking of materials ● Integrates with latest supply chain technology.
