Dematic: Match Sorter Speed to Actual Carton Flow

An automatic speed control solution from Dematic automatically adjusts the speed of an entire sortation system—from merge through sorter take-away conveyors—to accommodate actual throughput volume as it changes throughout the day.

Automatically adjusting the sorter speed reduces energy use, equipment wear, sound levels and maintenance to extend the life of the sorter and conveyors.

In a typical system, speed will vary from 250 feet per minute to 540 feet per minute depending on the carton flow rate. The system utilizes electronic sensors on the upstream conveyor network to detect inbound volume or to determine downstream availability in a shipping application, slowing down to accommodate short staffing or delayed trailers.
