Sortation is the process of identifying individual items on a conveyor system by using task-specific algorithms and devices, and directing them to their correct locations.
What are automated sortation systems, and why are they so vital for day-to-day warehouse operations? High speed sortation systems considerably reduces the need for manual handling, which in turn reduces labour costs, drives productivity and increases precision.
Read on below to discover how to reap these benefits and more by incorporating the right sortation system into your warehouse operations.
Automation is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for competitive distribution centres. Automated sortation systems, such as sliding shoe sorters, narrow belt sorters, and unit sorters, are game-changers.
These tools seamlessly blend with your warehouse design, providing efficiency that surpasses conventional methods. Let us help you set up a system that suits your operations and enhances your competitive edge.
No two warehouses are identical. Understanding different types of sortation, from tilt tray and pivoting arm sorters to cross belt sorters and packing stations, is crucial. Innovative sortation systems with modular and flexible designs can be integrated with minimal impact on your ongoing processes.
Whether you're focusing on packing processes or cross docking, we can assist in tailoring the perfect automated sortation system to fit your needs.
A connected warehouse is a smart warehouse. With automated sorting systems, you can have real-time insights into your operations, enabling quick decision-making and improving productivity.

Double The Floor Space In Your Warehouse
Sortation systems vary by capacity and operation type, including sliding shoe sorters, narrow belt sorters, and unit sorters. High-speed systems like tilt tray, pivoting arm, and cross belt sorters expedite distribution processes. Additionally, pusher sorters and automated sorters integrate into warehouse operations to optimise sorting tasks.
The most common type of sorting in warehouse operations is automated sortation. Automated sortation systems, particularly cross-belt sorters and sliding shoe sorters, are popular due to their efficiency and precision. These systems reduce manual labour, improve accuracy, and significantly increase speed in distribution centres.
Conveyor systems form the backbone of sortation systems, transporting items efficiently across the warehouse. Working in tandem with technologies like sliding shoe sorters or cross belt sorters, conveyors enable precise item distribution, reducing labour costs and enhancing productivity in warehouse operations. Our team at Unistor can help you find the right conveyor system to fit your operations.
