Automated sortation is the process of identifying items on a conveyor system and diverting them to specific destinations using advanced technology like scanners, cameras, sensors, and conveyor sortation mechanisms. These systems are critical in high-volume operations where speed, accuracy, and scalability are non-negotiable.
Common technologies used include:
High speed/rate sorters with a positive divert mechanism that stays in contact with the product for gentle handling of fragile items
Positive diverting for high-speed sortation that handles a wide array of products.
Medium speed/rate sorters with popup/swivel-wheel or popup roller diverting. Non-positive diverting, perfect for cost-effective line sortation
Low speed/rate sorting with popup roller/wheel/belt diverting for space-constrained layouts
(such as Intralox sorters) for medium-speed, non-positive diverting applications
An efficient automated conveyor and sortation system directly impacts your bottom line by:
through automation of repetitive tasks
in order fulfillment and inventory routing
with 24/7 continuous operation
as your product volume grows
through compact sortation layouts
