What role does automated sorting play in modern logistics systems
What role does automated sorting play in modern logistics systems? The logistics construction of many express e-commerce distribution centers has fully entered the development path of automation, dataization, and informatization. Various automated logistics products have been launched to cope with the increasing number of orders. But with the upgrading and innovation of the e-commerce express delivery industry, customers' personalized needs for orders are becoming increasingly evident, which requires major logistics equipment suppliers and automated logistics integrators to provide logistics solutions that are more in line with customers' own needs based on order structure and production scale.
In the past, this express delivery company relied entirely on manual labor for port sorting. With the development of its business, the drawbacks of low sorting efficiency and high labor costs have become increasingly prominent, and the demand for automated sorting has become more and more urgent. To this end, Dr. Li conducted in-depth research and analysis on the order requirements of this express delivery company. With the help of logistics equipment and systems such as balance wheel sorting machines, belt conveyors, drum conveyors, WAS sorting systems, etc., he planned an automated sorting project. The entire project has a small footprint and low operating costs, fundamentally meeting the actual needs of customers and achieving high automation operations:
When the parcel is transferred to this sorting center, it is manually scanned by hand and placed on the telescopic belt conveyor. The parcel information will be uploaded to the WAS sorting system, and then the data in the sorting center server will be read for comparative analysis to determine which compartment the parcel should go to;
The package is then transported to the corresponding balance wheel sorting area through a stacking belt conveyor, a two in one drum conveyor, and a climbing belt conveyor, and finally sorted to the corresponding grid.
