Consisting of a modular design, these conveyors transport heavy pallets while reducing the manual labor of transportation.
Eliminate the inefficient, time-consuming process of sorting by allowing conveyor systems to sort products themselves.
A wall with compartments to guide warehouse personnel in sorting and directing products to the correct locations.
Further increase productivity and reduce labor with automated packaging or in-line scales built within a conveyor workflow.
Investing in automated warehouse sortation system can revolutionize your order fulfillment operations, resulting in improved order accuracy, reduced labor costs, and enhanced customer satisfaction. Applicable across various industries and applications, sortation solutions are versatile and crucial to optimizing your warehouse processes.
Improve order accuracy and efficiency by minimizing human errors in manual sorting. An automated sortation system will ensure swift and accurate sorting, reducing misplacements and mix-ups.
Drastically more efficient and cost-effective compared to manual sorting. A sortation system will require fewer workers, reducing labor costs, and minimizing the risk of errors.
Accurate and efficient order sorting improves customer satisfaction. Timely deliveries contribute to customer loyalty and positive reviews, which are vital for business success.
Robotic sortation presents a scalable and efficient sortation system for warehouse operations, meeting the increasing demand for fast and precise order fulfillment.
Traditional sortation systems often struggle with irregularly shaped items or products that are too large or small. In contrast, robotic sortation utilizes advanced vision systems and adaptive algorithms to identify and sort items of varying shapes and sizes with precision.
Additionally, order volumes can skyrocket during busy seasons, such as holidays or sales events. Robotic sortation systems can be programmed to handle these peak periods by adjusting their sorting speed and prioritizing high-demand items. This flexibility allows businesses to meet customer demands efficiently, ensuring timely order fulfillment.

Conveyor sortation is essential for efficient product movement and sorting in warehouses. Here are some types of this sortation system:
Merge Conveyors: Combine multiple product lines into a single stream, optimizing space utilization and sorting efficiency.
Sawtooth Merge Conveyors: Use angled diverts for smooth and controlled merging of products from multiple lines.
Activated Roller Belt Conveyors: Feature modular plastic belts with embedded rollers for positive drive and dynamic diverting, ideal for high-speed applications.
Shoe Sorters: These devices utilize shoes or slats to divert products onto takeaway lanes. They are known for their reliability and flexibility.
Cross Belt Sorters: Employ perpendicular belts to divert products to the appropriate chute or lane.
Narrow Belt Sorters: Similar to cross belt sorters but with narrower belts, suitable for small or lightweight items.
Pivot Wheel Sorters: Use pivoting wheels for efficient product diversion onto takeaway lanes, allowing gentle handling.
Paddle & Pusher Sorters: Use paddles or pushers to push products off the main conveyor onto the desired lane, which is suitable for various product sizes and shapes.
