Rapid & Accurate Parcel Sortation Technology

The latest challenge was to introduce a sortation solution specifically designed to accommodate small sized parcels. 

Prior to the new solution the sortation of “small traffic” was a combined process with larger parcels. This meant that smaller parcels were harder to process and ended up being manually sorted.  

This operation could not service the capacity requirements. It was also reliant on sourcing labour to fulfil extra capacity which was problematic at peak. 

Separating smalls from larger parcels meant higher throughputs could be achieved utilising a more streamlined solution with a 99.9% accuracy of sort. 

The operators could then check & reorient the parcels prior to induction onto an Equinox Split-Tray sorter. The Equinox sorter, with a speed of 1m/s, could accurately sort orders into 42 locations at a rate of 10,000 pph. The sorter’s reduced footprint ensured minimal disruption to current operations. 

L-A-C Logistics Automation modular software design and integration provided a seamless data flow with Evri’s WMS (Warehouse Management Systems), completing the final piece of the puzzle. This integration allowed for 99.9% real-time visibility, traceability, and control for quick decision-making and monitoring.
