Automated Sorting System
System Introduction
Automated Sorting System is an intelligent logistics equipment centered on intelligent identification, precise sorting and high-efficiency diversion. Its core positioning is intelligent identification, rapid sorting and accurate diversion. Different from the transfer function of general conveying equipment and the scheduling function of management systems, it focuses on the core demand of rapid sorting and classified archiving of multi-category, large-batch goods in warehousing and logistics scenarios, acting as a key hub connecting cargo conveying, storage and outbound processes.
Integrating core components such as intelligent code scanning, photoelectric sensing, PLC control and sorting actuators, the system automatically completes the whole process including cargo scanning and identification, information matching, path planning, precise sorting and classified diversion without manual sorting. It adapts to goods of various sizes and types, and is widely used in high-frequency multi-category sorting scenarios such as e-commerce warehousing, express sorting centers, pharmaceutical sorting, food and beverage sorting, and electronic component sorting.
Automated Sorting System can be seamlessly linked with motorized roller conveyors, automated chain conveyors and WMS/WCS integrated systems to form a full-process automated closed loop of cargo conveying – intelligent identification – precise sorting – classified storage. It effectively solves pain points of traditional manual sorting such as low efficiency, high error rate, high labor cost and inability to handle large batches. Balancing sorting speed and accuracy, it is core equipment for automated and refined upgrading in medium and large warehousing and logistics sorting scenarios.

Core Functions
Intelligent Cargo Identification
Equipped with multi-verification mechanisms including code scanning, photoelectric sensing and weight identification, it quickly captures barcode, size, weight and other cargo information with response ≤ 0.1s, accurately matching sorting requirements and eliminating misidentification or missed identification.
Automatic Sorting & Diversion
Based on identified cargo information and preset sorting rules, it automatically plans sorting paths and accurately diverts goods to corresponding outlets via actuators (sliders, swing arms, etc.), realizing simultaneous multi-category sorting without manual intervention.
Intelligent Sorting Task Scheduling
Adopts PLC intelligent control module to receive sorting tasks from WMS, automatically allocate resources and adjust speed, ensuring orderly sorting of multi-batch and large-batch goods and avoiding congestion.
Multi-Category Adaptive Sorting
Flexibly adapts to small parts, medium-sized goods, turnover boxes and other types of cargo. Supports multi-dimensional sorting by category, destination, order number, etc., without frequent equipment adjustment.
Full-Process Status Monitoring
Monitors sorting speed, accuracy and equipment status in real time. Automatically stops and alarms in case of abnormalities or faults, with prompts for fault location and solutions to ensure continuous operation.
Sorting Data Statistics & Analysis
Automatically records sorting volume, efficiency, error rate and other data, generates multi-dimensional statistical reports and supports data export, providing data support for process optimization and strategy adjustment.
Multi-Equipment Collaborative Linkage
Seamlessly connects with automated conveyors, intelligent racks and WMS/WCS systems to achieve full-process automated connection, eliminating bottlenecks in sorting and improving overall logistics efficiency.
System Advantages
Ultra-High Sorting Efficiency
Sorting speed reaches 1,000 ~ 10,000 pieces per hour, far exceeding manual sorting (approx. 200 ~ 300 pcs/h). It meets large-batch and high-frequency demands, greatly improving logistics turnover efficiency.
Outstanding Sorting Precision
Sorting accuracy ≥ 99.95% with multi-layer identification verification, effectively reducing mis-sorting and missed sorting, lowering cargo damage and rework costs.
Fully Automated Operation
Requires no manual sorting or diversion, only a small number of on-duty monitoring personnel. It significantly cuts labor costs and avoids errors caused by fatigue and human factors.
Strong Multi-Scenario Adaptability
Supports multiple sorting modes and serves industries including e-commerce, medicine, express delivery and food. It handles both small loose items and turnover-boxed cargo with high universality.
Excellent System Connectivity
Seamlessly integrates with various automated conveying, storage equipment and control systems, quickly fitting into existing logistics and warehousing layouts for full closed-loop management.
Flexible & Expandable
Number of sorting outlets and sorting speed are customizable. The system can be expanded flexibly with business growth to match enterprises at different development stages with high cost performance.
Convenient Operation & Maintenance
Modular design ensures low failure rate. Complete self-inspection and remote O&M functions are provided, with quick replacement of vulnerable parts, low long-term maintenance cost and stable continuous operation.
