  • The indexation method to reach the sorter with the right distance will be determined according to the type of sorter that you use.
  • The reading or view system that works to identify the product will directly connect to the WCS to distinguish the right action with that product.
  • The type of sortation will depend on an analysis of the user operation to determine rates of the equipment, variety of products, kind of product packing, fragility, among others.
  • Software. This is one of the most important items when you select a sorter because the software guarantees the system rate and the operative variables administration. In some cases, it also helps to recirculate the product when it has an overflow, providing certainty to the operation.
