Why a sorter is the best implementation in the beverages industry?


sorter_beverages_industry.pngBeverages industry does not rest. Usually, in this kind of business there is an exponential demand that generates very high flows due to different products’ sizes;  for example: 500ml, 1 and 2 liters, different flavors, special editions and new seasonal editions...

For its best performance, these companies should use automated tools to guarantee ergonomic and productive operations. Now, we will let you know the reasons why a sortation system is the best choice for the beverages industry: 

Automated Process

Generally, a person visually classifies up to 40 boxes per minute, but as the flow increases this is no longer a good practice. Why does this happen? Because operators can suffer back injuries linked to the effort and there may be misclassification by the work team. This means that the operation gets harder to achieve.

One solution to all these problems is a sorter implementation. This tool gives you many benefits, such as: 

  • Increase security in product deviation.
  • Increase product working capacity.
  • Classify products by size
  • Better product handling.
  • Increase productivity.
  • Eradicate errors.
  • Institutionalized operation.
  • Allows planning and statistics of both, the equipment and historical operation.

Standardized Palletizing

The sorter has a control module that allows high flexibility when choosing classification according to the needs of the beverage company. It can be classified by SKU, label, color, flavor, type of packaging or other criteria. 

Once the end-of-line area is reached, the standardized palletizing is required, and it will only be achieved in time and correctly through a previous sortation system that diverts the exact products and at the indicated time.

Shoe Sorter is the best automated implementation for this kind of industry as it allows increasing flows, greater diversity in products, more growth in the future and increased flexibility. This is a system that will never become obsolete.
