Every day, production and distribution operations must sort large quantities of inventory contained in cartons, cases, totes, bags, or stuffed envelopes. As service level agreements become more demanding, the pressures to perform at or above expectations grow. These realities along with higher order volumes, shorter processing times, and rising operational costs create a compelling business case for automated sortation.
