Sortation Systems

Automated sortation boosts throughput, speeds processing, and handles growing order volumes with high accuracy.

Every day, production and distribution operations must sort large quantities of inventory contained in cartons, cases, totes, bags, or stuffed envelopes. As service level agreements become more demanding, the pressures to perform at or above expectations grow. These realities along with higher order volumes, shorter processing times, and rising operational costs create a compelling business case for automated sortation.


Benefits of Dematic sortation systems
Dematic works with you to determine the sortation system that is right for your situation.

Increased throughput and capacity: Sortation systems automate product routing and diverting to support high‑volume operations and faster order processing.

Improved accuracy and accountability: Barcode scanning and load tracking ensure precise sort decisions, visibility, and confirmation of delivery to the correct destination.

Higher productivity at lower cost: Automated sortation reduces manual handling and labor requirements while delivering one of the lowest costs per case or item sorted.

Balanced and synchronized material flow: Coordinated control of gapping, scanning, and diverting creates smooth, continuous flow across functional areas.

Scalability and future readiness: Modular designs and scalable controls allow sortation systems to grow, reconfigure, and adapt as operational requirements change.

Seamless system integration: Sortation systems integrate with inventory storage, order picking, WMS, and downstream automation to create end‑to‑end workflows.
