Today’s shipping landscape is fast-paced and evolving, and businesses realize the paramount significance of precise and streamlined automated sortation systems tailored to their unique operations. On June 13th, Modern Materials Handling published an article about that significance, featuring the latest facility of Pitney Bowes that features EuroSort technology: Sortation and Robotics Layout At Pitney Bowes: A new facility near Chicago uses robotic induction and sortation to speed parcels from receiving to shipping. The article is written by Bob Trebilcock, the editorial director of Modern Materials Handling and editorial advisor to Supply Chain Management Review, who has covered materials handling, technology, logistics, and supply chain topics for nearly 30 years. The article highlights how the combination of solution design and integration, automated sortation, robotics, and camera-based imaging create a smoothly operating facility.
Key Takeaways
This informative article highlights the facility design at Pitney Bowes’ newest location, a high throughput facility handling 24,000 parcels per hour in 360,000 square feet, and includes a map of the new facility layout. Detailing the receiving and induction, sortation, and shipping facets of the facility gives insight into the overall workflow. The main points emphasized in the piece are related to the core set of technologies chosen, and EuroSort’s Push Tray was selected for optimized automated sortation.
The Push Tray Sorter: The Trusted Choice
The EuroSort Twin Push Tray Sorter chosen by Pitney Bowes handles a wide variety of products on the same system; small, medium, flat, or irregularly shaped packages, larger boxes, polybags, and letters and documents are handled with ease on the same machine. Lightweight envelopes, thin magazines, tubes, and larger consumer goods are no challenge for the Twin Push Tray Sorter and can be sorted alongside traditional mail or document envelopes.
Three walls on each tray contain products, and the system uses a mechanical divert instead of the expensive motors of other sorters on the market. The Push Tray Sorter diverts products gently and accurately, eliminating the need for multiple sorters within the same facility, which saves cost and space and increases productivity.
This sorter type offers maximum flexibility for your changing product mix, available in a Single Push Tray (3,000 to 16,000 trays per hour) or Twin Push Tray option (7,000 to 24,000 trays per hour). Free of wheel-style turns, belts, and chains and featuring a no-touch pack out, no-weld framework, small discharge pitch, and quiet operation, the Push Tray Sorter has many benefits.
