Implementing an automated sortation system can revolutionize your operations, but only if you consider the key factors before you make a decision on the conveyor type, sorter type, and its attributes.
Sortation conveyors may include shoe sorters, cross-belt sorters, pop-wheel and roller sorters, a variety of conveyors, and other automated sortation systems. (See details of many of these sorter choices here). These systems are designed for either low or high volume order sizes, to promote shipping accuracy, and the ability to ship more frequently. They also offer increased productivity, labor savings, cost reduction, and vastly improved customer satisfaction.
Whether you want to streamline facility processes, anticipate growth in the future, or ramp up throughput, these guidelines will help you make the right choices as you move down the path toward automation solutions for your operation.
