Automated Goods Sorting System – 3D Sorter
The Automated Goods Sorting System (3D Sorter) is an advanced sorting solution that fully leverages three-dimensional space to deliver superior operational efficiency.
With its flexible design, the system allows easy configuration of sorting bins at multiple positions, adapting seamlessly to the specific operational requirements of each warehouse.
1. General Information
The 3D Sorter is capable of meeting a wide range of sorting requirements, including multi-order sorting, returns handling, and material grouping, while delivering high accuracy and efficiency.
Its maximum sorting throughput can exceed 10,000 items per hour.
2. Key Advantages
- Flexible system design: Easily integrates with management software such as WMS, WCS, ERP, and MES, effectively supporting both outbound fulfillment and return logistics processes
- Flexible sorting bins: Product bins are highly configurable, allowing both bin quantity and bin size to be adjusted based on operational needs. Multiple bin size options—small, medium, and large—accommodate a wide range of products, from cables and books to garments and jackets
- Ultra-high sorting density: The distance between sorting trays is only 0.5 m (19.69 in), enabling high-density and efficient 3D sorting
- 3D bi-directional sorting configuration: Supports both T-type layouts (dual-sided, parallel) and L-type layouts (single-sided), allowing flexible deployment to match different warehouse requirements
