Tips for optimizing your sortation systems
Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second
There has been an increase in non-conveyable and online shopping orders. The rise in shipping volumes has necessitated innovative sortation systems. Regular sortation systems weren’t created to deal with high volumes of goods and the different packaging options currently being used to ship single items.
Here are three distinct sortation applications and some solutions to common challenges.
Categorizing packages before shipment
There are many things in shipping, so logistics teams ought to know how to navigate the goods. A sound system can categorize goods either via manual measurement or sensors. Sensors are susceptible to error and may not provide needed granular data for categorization. Manual ones aren’t time friendly and open to interpretation, thus making a hybrid system ideal.
Reporting and detecting object status on the logistics sorter tray
Sorting processes ought to be very efficient and capable of spotting and averting errors that may lead to product loss. Traditional sorters are expensive to maintain, and failures usually fail. The client may not get the product, and there will be an inaccurate inventory count. A reliable sortation system should take care of this.
Final thoughts
This piece has highlighted a few ways to optimize specific applications for sortation. Getting the logistic chain process right may be the catalyst for scaling operations.
