A bombay sorter with 3.000 exits …….
A new revolutionary infeed system for for web-shop applications. More and more sales is done via the web and many suppliers have therefore a large increase in orders; however compared to the traditional sorter applications where the average order is around 30 articles, the web shops have orders with a very low number of order-lines e.g. 1,6 per order. These kind of orders need either a sorter with a high number of exits ( space limitations) or consolidated sorting ( so 1 chute with several orders in it) .
Dynamic Positioning System:
We developed a so called “dynamic positioning system” for the induction operators. The operators scan the article, the sorter database will then decide in which tray in the sorter the article will be dropped and to which exit the product will be directed.
The dedicated position for this article will be indicated dynamically on a area in the belt itself where the operator should deposit the article.
Due to this dynamic system of induction it is possible to recirculate the product which is beneficiary to the efficiency of the sorter.
