EuroSort’s Zero Touch Packout: Streamlining Sorting and Reducing Labor
By Nick Herbon
As labor gets harder and harder to attract, distribution centers will increasingly turn toward automating those tasks they can. this obviously can start at the beginning during picking, but one of the biggest unchanged labor requirements is the packing of orders once they have been consolidated whether that is at a put-wall, or an automated sorter. EuroSort’s innovative Zero Touch Packout system helps businesses process orders faster while cutting labor costs.
What is a Zero Touch Packout?
A Zero Touch Packout fully automates the packing process for finished orders, eliminating the need for manual handling. Traditionally, workers transfer sorted items from chutes into outbound cartons or totes. EuroSort’s solution uses simple conveyors and automated doors to seamlessly move products to their final destinations without any manual intervention.
Key Benefits of a Zero Touch Packout
- Labor Reduction: Automating the packing process frees workers from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on higher-value activities.
- Increased Throughput: Faster packing and less wait time means quicker wave turn-over, and more orders processed with fewer employees.
- Improved Accuracy: Real-time tracking and eliminating human error minimizes mistakes, reducing costly returns.
- Enhanced Safety: Automation reduces the risk of injuries associated with manual handling.
Why It Matters
Beyond labor savings, a Zero Touch Packout offers scalability and operational efficiency. As demand grows, the system can handle increased order volumes without additional staff, helping businesses stay competitive. Run waves quicker, flush out finished orders sooner, and get more orders out the door in the same amount of time without increasing labor.
