Automated sortation systems improve productivity, throughput and accuracy

Automated sortation systems can improve productivity, throughput and delivery accuracy. It can be beneficial in several parts of the supply chain:

  • Efficient unloading of inbound containers
  • Cross-docking processes for fast distribution to retail outlets
  • Cost-effective order picking
  • Fast, accurate shipping sortation
  • Returns handling

Selecting the right sortation system for your specific situation depends on:

  • your business process
  • your products
  • your required throughput
  • the number and nature of the sort destinations

Vanderlande Industries offers a broad range of sortation systems, both line sorters (sliding shoe sorters, pusher sorters and pop-up sorters) and loop sorters (cross-belt sorters, tilt tray sorters). We have implemented automated sortation systems at many well-known companies, such as Argos, Amazon, LeClerc, Euro Shoe, Nike, 3M, Colruyt, Urban Outfitters, Edeka, Asda and GAME Stores.
