VarioSort Smalls

A compact and efficient sorter for small items, ideal for postal and e-commerce applications.

Benefits

Throughput & accuracy

Consistently low miss-sort rates and high-speed guarantee items reach the right destination on time.

Operational efficiency

Very high sorting efficiency due to automatic repositioning an item-specific discharge patterns.

High reliability

Parcels flow continuously through the sorter with minimal exceptions or system stops.

Handle diverse parcels

VarioSort Parcel deals with a wide range of parcels - from small to large. VarioSort Smalls is optimized for small parcels.

Future readiness

Gain real-time visibility into performance and bottlenecks, allowing you to plan for peak times and future plans.

End-to-end solution

An integrated ecosystem

Induction & identification

Parcels are singulated, inducted, and identified via barcode, RFID, or OCR to determine their correct destination.

Sorting execution

Based on routing logic, the sorter discharges each item at precisely the right moment to a chute, conveyor lane, bag, or pallet.

Exception handling

Items that cannot be sorted automatically divert to a separate area for manual handling and reintroduction into the flow.

Downstream connection

The system connects identification data with downstream operations like consolidation, loading, and dispatch.

3d world of parcel logistics solutions

Future proofing

Optimizing existing hubs

We help businesses solve the problem of moving growing parcel volumes, without adding complexity.

Many CEP service providers struggle to find greenfield areas to set up new sorting centers. Therefore, to expand capacity, logistics operators must often optimize existing hubs to increase operational volume.  

This brownfield approach requires increasing throughput per unloading dock and optimizing bulk item flow from unloading to the sortation area. Our solutions are designed to maximize throughput within these constraints.
