Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Switch Sorter system?
How does Switch Sorter work?
The process consists of three stages. First, the item enters the conveyor belt, where scanners read its barcode and identify the shipment parameters. The system then compares the data with the sorting criteria and assigns the correct destination. Finally, the item is automatically directed to the appropriate chute. The system supports more than 20 sorting destinations. Switch Sorter operates at a speed of 1.65 m/s and processes up to 4,000 items per hour.
What is the difference between Switch Sorter and TiltTray Sorter?
Switch Sorter is designed to handle items weighing from 0.2 to 30 kg and measuring up to 1,200 × 800 × 800 mm. TiltTray Sorter is intended for items weighing up to 10 kg and measuring up to 420 × 420 × 420 mm, including parcels, e-commerce orders and pharmaceutical products.
The systems also differ in design. TiltTray Sorter moves items on carriers with tilting platforms, while Switch Sorter diverts shipments directly from the conveyor belt into the appropriate chutes. The right choice depends on the weight and dimensions of the shipments processed by the warehouse.
Can the sorting system be scaled after launch?
Yes. Switch Sorter is a configurable solution that can be adapted to the customer’s specific processes and volumes. The standard configuration supports more than 20 sorting destinations, and the system can be expanded as shipment volumes increase. UIS engineers select the configuration based not only on current volumes but also on the company’s growth plans. Future scalability should therefore be considered during the system design stage.
UIS automated conveyor and sortation systems
Sorting systems are automated solutions for distributing items based on predefined parameters and directions. The Switch Sorter from UIS is an automatic sorting system developed for handling large and bulky cargo weighing up to 30 kg. It helps reduce manual labor, speed up processing, and improve sorting accuracy. These solutions become even more powerful when integrated with a Warehouse Management System, ensuring seamless coordination between sorting processes and overall inventory control.
Automated conveyor solutions provide continuous movement of various goods in industrial volumes, such as cardboard boxes, packages, and containers. This equipment automatically sorts cargo, reducing the likelihood of errors and significantly speeding up the processing time.
The UIS conveyor is designed to sort many small shipments, redirecting them to appropriate channels. Sortation lines represent a system for sorting packages, using an automated mechanism. On the conveyor sorter systems packages are automatically placed in random order and then are distributed into boxes according to a pre-set plan. Barcode scan can be conducted either automatically or manually.
The principle of warehouse conveyor system:
- a polybox with unsorted packages moves to the tilting device on the line;
- the tilting device places the packages on the conveyor, which lifts them up and sorts them;
- the scanner reads the barcode and transmits the information to the system;
- the scanned package is directed to its port and dropped into the box;
- when the box is full, the operator replaces a new one.
Advantages of conveyor system in warehouse:
- Compactness: the design occupies minimal space at the terminal, allowing sorting from both sides of the line, which efficiently uses the available area.
- Quick reconfiguration: rapid ability to change the sorting direction at the ports to adapt to logistics tasks.
- Flexibility of directions: the number of sorting directions can be easily adjusted according to customer requirements.
- Variety of sorted cargo: the system can handle goods of various sizes and shapes.
- Processing speed: each package remains only a few minutes.
The UIS automated sortation conveyor systems, designed with future needs, are flexible due to modular design, which is easily tailored to customer needs. In addition, companies can connect the conveyor infrastructure with advanced Delivery Management Software, enabling full visibility and optimization of last-mile logistics.
Features of the UIS warehouse conveyor system
The metal construction uses narrow strips to move goods. Automatic sorting allows to identify packages quickly and directs them to the appropriate storage zones. When selecting a sortation conveyor, it is important to consider the main characteristics of the cargo: its min and max weight, parameters of the place where the equipment will be installed should also be considered.
