MinisorterBatch pick. Let it sort.

A manual putwall caps how big you can get. This takes the cap off, in under 25 square metres of floor.

How it works.

  1. Batch pick, one walk

    Pickers collect many orders in a single run instead of walking one order at a time.

  2. Scan the item

    The operator scans at the induction port. Two ports keep the machine fed without a second person.

  3. Place it on the belt

    That is the whole operator job. There is no putwall to read and nothing to remember.

  4. It lands in the right order

    The carrier takes the item to the destination for the order it belongs to, at 99.9 per cent sort accuracy.

There is no putwall and nobody working one. 1,200 to 1,500 items an hour.

How fast can it sort?

A speed test at Future Fulfillment in Melbourne, with the induction rate counting on screen. Past the first few items it holds between 1,700 and 1,950 units an hour, around the machine’s mechanical ceiling of 1,800. Sustained sortation across a shift sits lower, at 1,200 to 1,500.

Frequently asked questions

How fast does it sort?

1,200 to 1,500 items an hour, with a mechanical ceiling of 1,800. Future Fulfillment in Melbourne runs more than 1,000 units an hour across 100 destinations, which is what a real order profile looks like rather than a datasheet maximum.

How many sort destinations can it have?

It is configured to your order profile rather than fixed, and the count depends on the item size class: 42 to 140 for small, 30 to 100 for medium, and 24 or 48 for large. Bring your order profile and we will size it.

How much floor space does it need?

Under 25 square metres for one carrier and two induction ports. That is the smallest machine in the 3D Sorter range, and it is why it suits a site that cannot give up an aisle.

What size and weight of item does it handle?

From a minimum of 50 x 50 x 5 mm up to 750 x 500 x 250 mm depending on the size class, and from 20 grams to 10 kilograms. Apparel, general merchandise and returns are the common cases.
