Sortation & Conveyor Systems

Sortation and conveyor systems are the mission-critical conduits for transporting, directing and routing product flows through busy manufacturing and fulfillment environments. While conveyors are essential for moving product from one area of a facility to the next, sortation systems separate products for induction into individual lanes typically associated with an outbound destination. Various types of sortation and conveyor systems are often connected to comprise a fully functioning material handling solution.

With the rise of e-commerce, sortation and conveyor systems have evolved from simply transporting cases for store replenishment to handling a variety of individual items and packaging types, including cases, totes and polybags. This evolution has introduced new fulfillment complexities, as facility operators seek automated sortation conveyor solutions that address a wide range of emerging challenges:

• Increase throughput to keep pace with high order volumes and SKU proliferation
• Improve order accuracy to minimize returns processing
• Develop cross-docking processes to alleviate storage and handling requirements
• Employ zone-skipping strategies to mitigate shipping costs and expedite deliveries
• Automate end-of-line palletizing operations for manufacturing fulfillment environments
• Integrate with warehouse execution systems to drive greater levels of automation
