Körber’s innovative Crossbelt Sorter is designed to eliminate manual sortation, increase warehouse efficiency and drive down costs. The new Crossbelt Sorter is an important component in our material handling equipment portfolio to flexibly link different functionalities within a warehouse. With this new product, we’re supporting our customers in meeting latest market challenges and requirements. Mainly driven by E-Commerce, but also from other highly dynamic industries like FMCG, the requirements towards efficient and reliable logistics processes are constantly increasing: Complex order structures and different business models (like B2B or B2C) require a flexible handling of a broad range of goods that need to be sorted. The high variety of articles and fast changing SKU profiles, combined with the increasing demand of end consumers for faster delivery, are driving the requirements for professional warehouse operations. Speed of sortation is vital as customers expect their deliveries to arrive on the same or next day. Manual sortation is labor-intensive, time-consuming and prone to costly mistakes. Automation is essential if you’re looking to eliminate operational inefficiencies and increase productivity. Solutions have to allow for short reaction times to dynamically changing markets and an efficient handling of goods. The material handling challenges and requirements can only be met with a higher level of automation that intelligently links different material handling components.
