  • The system automatically adapts to changing order structures

Your Benefits

More flexibility.

  • The system allows for changing sales channels and new business models.
  • Only one item is placed in each pocket (single-item handling): Order changes have no effect on the overall system.
  • A matrix sorter arranges the pockets in perfect sequence and allows for store-friendly packing.
  • Performance and size of the pocket sorter system can be easily and quickly adjusted and scaled as order volumes change.
  • A conveyor network connects each induction station to each buffer. Each buffer connects to an automatic unloading or packing station.

More momentum.

  • Short order throughput times
  • High throughput due to innovative pocket sorter technology and powerful overhead conveyor systems

More productivity.

  • Pockets are emptied automatically and without human intervention.
  • High mechatronic throughput performance.
  • Batch picking and preventive replenishment reduces the number of transports.
  • Efficient consolidation of warehouse-mixed orders.
  • Flat garments in pockets and hanging garments on hangers can be processed together in the conveyor system.
  • Returns can be buffered and used for order processing without being re-picked.
  • High and sustainable operator productivity.
