Dematic linear sorters, including sliding shoe and steerable wheel sorters, are commonly used for high‑volume routing and distribution applications.
Typical applications include:
Routing and sortation of inbound goods
Cross‑docking operations
Sorting cases and totes to pick modules
Carton sorting from case‑ and piece‑pick modules
Sorting to outbound shipping doors
Key subsystem elements include:
Merge for steady load flow
Induction to create optimal gaps
Scanning for identification and destination assignment
Sorting and diverting to one or both sides
Takeaway for downstream transport
Controls to track and ensure accurate diverting
