Technology comparison

Start with the operating problem.

Mechanism comes after the parcel profile, required capacity, destination count, available footprint and service model.

Field evidence

Evaluate equipment in its operating context.

Images show real equipment and installations. Project details remain limited where customer confidentiality applies, and performance claims are published only when source records are available.

Decision workflow

Define constraints before requesting a quote.

01

Parcel profile

Map dimensions, weight, packaging material and unstable surfaces before selecting a mechanism.

02

Operating demand

Separate sustained throughput from short peaks, then define accuracy and recirculation targets.

03

Building constraints

Test line length, elevation, columns, access routes and destination geometry as one system.

04

Delivery model

Plan integration responsibilities, commissioning, spares and regional service from the start.
