The automatic sorting system is a logistics operation system that uses automated equipment and intelligent control systems to automatically classify and distribute goods according to preset rules (such as destination, category, order). The core consists of a packaging table, sorting host (such as cross belt, slider type), conveyor line, scanning and recognition device, and control system. It can replace manual high-frequency and high-precision goods sorting and is the core equipment for improving sorting efficiency in e-commerce, express delivery, warehousing and other scenarios.
Its core advantages are threefold: firstly, it has extremely high efficiency, sorting 1000-30000 pieces of goods per hour, far exceeding manual sorting (about 150-300 pieces/hour), and can operate 24 hours a day without interruption, easily responding to peak demand such as e-commerce promotions and express delivery seasons; The second is high accuracy, relying on barcode/RFID recognition and precise system control, the sorting error rate can be as low as 0.01% or less, avoiding the problems of manual sorting errors and omissions; The third is to reduce costs and save space, without the need for a large number of sorting workers, which can reduce labor costs by more than 50% in the long run. Moreover, the system is mostly three-dimensional layout or compact design, saving 30% -50% of space compared to manual sorting areas.
The mainstream types can be classified according to sorting principles into cross belt sorting machines (suitable for small and medium-sized goods, such as express packages), slide type sorting machines (suitable for large/heavy goods, such as household appliances and bags), and swing wheel sorting machines (suitable for small and medium-sized box type goods, high flexibility); Widely used in express delivery distribution centers, e-commerce warehousing, fresh food cold chain, pharmaceutical distribution and other fields, for example, the express delivery industry uses it to complete cross regional parcel distribution, and e-commerce warehouses use it to achieve fast picking and packaging of order goods.
