6 River Systems Company Profile

Robot-assisted, mobile sortation.

Robot-assisted, mobile sortation.

For operators who are crunched for time, capital and resources, Mobile Sort manages the entire order fulfillment process from batching, picking to sorting.

Mobile Sort is an all-in-one picking and sorting solution that enables warehouse associates to intelligently pick and sort batches into discrete orders.

Associates are directed by Chucks, 6 River System’s mobile collaborative robots, to pick batches into totes. The totes are then delivered to take-off points, where they are sorted into orders.

Mobile Sort stations consists of smart kiosks and mobile put-to-light walls, and work with Chucks, 6 River Systems’ mobile collaborative robot, to reduce cycle times and improve pick efficiency.

The solution is flexible by design, allowing the stations to be wheeled in during customers’ busiest seasons; and wheeled out to reclaim precious floor space. For warehouses that use multiple automation systems, zones or levels, Mobile Sort can be deployed as the “final destination” to merge partially picked totes from Chuck and other pick systems.
