The sortation system is a useful tool that helps you to classify products of different DC areas; it divides the groups by references, orders, rates, etc.
If you are considering implementing this technology, find out the main three reasons to convince you that it is the best decision:
1.- Competitiveness
An important part of the sorter benefits is the increase in efficiency. This is HH by order or products or another particular indicator of each operation.
With these systems you can have flexibility and channels to provide good service to more customers by delivering products faster and cheaper.
A sorter includes the computing systems to make your operation automatic and to provide immediate visibility (concerning information), so that your competitiveness substantially increases.
Many successful cases allow compare the operations “before” and “after” implementing a sorter. The differences are dramatically positive; for example, the refunds reduce up to 25% and the classification capacity increases up to 300%.
2.- Error reduction
An important reason that justifies a classification system is the error reduction and the high classification capacity.
There are systems that might produce 300 boxes per minute with only one unit or even a higher volume with more units. This is essential when you have to provide good service to different customers that order many packages, boxes or products that must be delivered without errors.
It is also very helpful to facilitate the process of merchandise returns when it must be reclassified or reprocessed. We are referring to inverse logistics.
3.- Versatility
Selecting the right sorter and having an effective consultancy, engineering and implementation provide a lot of benefits.
There are different sorters, such as cross belt, tilt tray or shoe sorter, among others. These come with a thorough analysis on industrial engineering, mechanic, electric and system to guarantee each particular operation.
Products can be classified by type, tracks, orders, etc. We can also handle them as an assortment of orders of a crossdocking area or as a delivery to the shipping area.
Avoid outdated operations that put your stability at risk. Sorters are likely your perfect ally. Call us and our consultants will make your problems an opportunity.
