Sortation Projects Completed include:
An E-commerce sortation solution for River Island. River Island is a High street retailer with more than 500 shops in 50 countries. Stockrail in partnership with Optimus developed a highly dynamic sortation system to cope with the increasing number of internet orders. Product is scanned via the overhead camera scanner and are sorted into 50 destinations designated for a number of internet orders
Once an order has been packed they are placed onto a modular belt conveyor to the dispatch area. Here there are a total of 5 delivery run lanes where individual “pushers” transfer the package onto the designated lane. There are 5 additional overhead scanners (1 for each lane) to confirm that the package has been sorted to its relevant lane.
At Durlinger Shoes – a family owned company with 40 stores in Holland, use the Opti – Sorter for all processes they have in their facility. During the new season roll out they sort most of the newly arrived shoes to a store level. The remainder of the stock goes into storage for replenishment. During the season the Opti-Sorter is utilised for new store replenishment. Inter-store transfers are also run over the sorter system all through automatic identification. And at the end of the season store returns are counted and accepted into the DC utilising the sorter system.
Another E-Commerce solution is for a major 3 PL within the UK. We designed and installed an integrated parcel sorter for one of their major E-Commerce contracts. This included servicing over 100 packing benches with belt conveyor systems including spiral conveyors to transfer the parcels above head height over walkways. The Opti-Sorter is servicing via 3 off 45° automatic in feeds with single item orders manually placed onto the trays. The parcels are scanned via overhead cameras and are sorted at a speed of 8,000 items per hour to a number of route destinations and different parcel carrier delivery options.
At Stockrail customer satisfaction is our goal. We believe that the winning formula is a joint effort with the customer and listening to their requirements is key factor in the supply of a successful project.
