What to measure before a sorter is designed

The building, utility, parcel-flow and integration inputs that prevent expensive redesigns.

Building and access

Confirm usable length, width, clear height, columns, doors, fire routes, floor loading, equipment delivery access and future expansion zones.

Utilities and environment

Record power quality, available capacity, network routes, compressed air where required, temperature, humidity, dust and local safety requirements.

Operational flow

Map receiving, induction, exception handling, recirculation, chute clearing, container movement and outbound staging during a real peak period.

Integration boundaries

List scanners, dimensioners, scales, PLCs, WCS/WMS interfaces, barcode formats, data ownership and acceptance tests.
