Essential Factors to Consider for Sorting Systems
Every warehouse and industrial facility has its own unique layout, process, and sorting needs. Your warehouse might be small and specialize in small order sizes for local clientele, or you could run an expansive property that processes orders with regional or national reach. Our company strives to ensure you find the perfect automated sortation solutions for your specific operations. We work with you, learn about your facility, answer all your questions, and recommend equipment that’s the best match for your workspace and needs. Automating sorting is an incredible alternative to manual methods. You can implement this equipment quickly and boost efficiency and reliability while potentially reducing operating costs. However, before placing your order for a sorting system, we advise you to consider the following factors:
- Physical layout and space limitations within your facility
- Required pace for product movement through the system
- Complexity of pre-pack staging and routing for order fulfillment
- Unique handling requirements for fragile, oversized, or specialty items
- Integration needs for inline tools like barcode readers, scales, and label applicators
