UIS.TiltTray Sorter Automatic small cargo sorting system

A sorting system is automated equipment that directs items to predefined destinations based on delivery addresses, routes, product categories or customers. It is used in logistics and distribution centres, courier facilities and e-commerce warehouses where manual sorting can no longer handle the volume of shipments. Automating this process reduces processing time, eases the workload on employees and minimises errors.

TiltTray Sorter has a modular design with carriers that move around a closed-loop track at a speed of 1.25 m/s. The operator places the item with the barcode facing upwards, the conveyor scanner reads the code, and the system determines the correct sorting destination. The carrier transports the item to the designated chute and gently transfers it into a container using a tilting mechanism. The system processes 8,000 or more items per hour with a sorting accuracy of 99.9%.

The main difference is the type of items each system handles. TiltTray Sorter is designed for smaller items weighing up to 10 kg and measuring up to 420 × 420 × 420 mm, including parcels, e-commerce orders and pharmaceutical packages. Switch Sorter handles items weighing up to 30 kg and measuring up to 1,200 × 800 × 800 mm. The right system depends on the weight and dimensions of the shipments processed by the warehouse.

TiltTray Sorter is compatible with WMS and other warehouse management systems. The conveyor receives sorting instructions and sends information about every processed item to the control software. For end-to-end order visibility, the equipment can also operate together with OMS. Straightforward integration allows the solution to fit easily into the customer’s existing IT infrastructure.
