Robot sorting system
Small robots on a raised deck drop parcels into chutes; capacity scales by robot count, and a site goes live in weeks.
Small robots on a raised deck drop parcels into chutes; capacity scales by robot count, and a site goes live in weeks.
A robot sorting system places each parcel on a small sorting robot that navigates by floor codes across a steel deck to the destination chute and drops it into the bag or tote below. The number of destinations depends on deck area, throughput on the number of robots, and both can be changed after go-live. With no fixed line, installation is short, which also suits leased buildings and seasonal businesses.
Typical uses
- Last-mile and city parcel hubs
- Order or channel sorting in e-commerce
- Returns sorting
- Leased or temporary facilities
