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. Benefits of Dematic sortation systems Dematic works with you to determine the sortation system that is right for your situation. Increased throughput and capacity Sortation systems automate product routing and diverting to support high‑volume operations and faster order processing. Improved accuracy and accountability Barcode scanning and load tracking ensure precise sort decisions, visibility, and confirmation of delivery to the correct destination. Higher productivity at lower cost Automated sortation reduces manual handling and labor requirements while delivering one of the lowest costs per case or item sorted. 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
