Intelligent Logistics Sorting Line
Through advanced recognition technology, it can quickly and accurately identify item information and automatically guide it to a preset route, greatly improving circulation efficiency and accuracy.
In recent years, in order to seek greater profit growth opportunities, companies have continuously expanded their industrial chains and engaged in multi-faceted cross-industry collaborations. Furthermore, Intelligent Logistics Sorting Line manufacturers have been continuously strengthening the development of the express delivery industry and dedicating greater efforts to the sector. It can be said that the development of modern enterprises is inseparable from technological advancements.
The immediate and obvious advantage of mechanized production is that it will significantly improve efficiency in the production process. Currently, most private express delivery companies, including SF Express, still rely on manual scanning, sorting, and warehousing. The adoption of machine-based sorting and scanning for warehousing would significantly reduce manpower investment. SF Express only needs to carefully formulate employee work plans to better coordinate with the machine production process. This will reduce SF Express's manpower investment in warehousing, thereby achieving greater economic benefits.
It is reported that the newly invested machine can handle a workload of 40,000 small parcels. This will undoubtedly improve SF Express's production efficiency. The construction of this large-scale storage and transfer station is nearing completion and is expected to be operational soon, further promoting SF Express's development in the express delivery industry. We also hope that SF Express can provide consumers with even better services.
An automatic sorting system is a necessary facility for distribution centers.
It boasts high sorting efficiency, typically sorting 6,000-12,000 boxes per hour.
Automated sorting machines are a key factor in improving logistics and distribution efficiency.
An automatic sorting system generally consists of a control unit, a sorting device, a conveyor system, and sorting gates.
1. The control unit identifies, receives, and processes sorting signals. Based on the sorting signals, it instructs the sorting device to automatically sort goods by type, destination, or owner. These sorting requirements can be input into the sorting control system through various methods, such as barcode scanning, color code scanning, keyboard input, weight detection, voice recognition, height detection, and shape recognition. The sorting control system then determines which sorting gate a particular item should enter based on these sorting signals.
2. The sorting device responds to sorting instructions from the control device. When merchandise with the same sorting signal passes through it, it activates, causing it to change direction on the conveyor and enter another conveyor or a sorting gate. There are many types of sorting devices, including push-out, float-out, tilted, and branching types. Different devices have varying requirements for the packaging material, weight, and smoothness of the packaging base.
3. The conveying device primarily consists of a conveyor belt or conveyor. Its primary function is to transport merchandise to be sorted through the control device, sorting device, and conveyor belts on both sides. It is typically connected to several sorting gates to allow sorted merchandise to slide off the main conveyor (or belt) for subsequent processing.
4. The sorting crossing is the passage through which sorted goods exit the main conveyor (or main conveyor belt) and enter the collection area. Typically, a slideway composed of steel belts, belts, and rollers guides goods from the main conveyor to the collection platform. There, personnel gather all goods at the crossing and either store them in a warehouse or assemble them for delivery.
These four components are connected via a computer network, and combined with manual control and corresponding manual processing steps, form a complete automatic sorting system.
The automatic sorting system has the following features:
1. It can sort goods continuously and in large quantities. By adopting the automated assembly line operation method used in large-scale production, the automatic sorting system is not restricted by climate, time, or human strength and can operate continuously. Furthermore, because the automatic sorting system can sort a large number of items per unit time, its sorting capacity is capable of operating continuously for over 100 hours, sorting 7,000 packaged items per hour. Manual sorting can only sort around 150 items per hour, and sorters cannot work continuously for eight hours under such labor intensity.
2. The sorting error rate is extremely low. The sorting error rate of an automatic sorting system depends primarily on the accuracy of the input sorting information, which in turn depends on the input mechanism. If manual keyboard or voice recognition is used for input, the error rate is over 3%. If barcode scanning is used for input, errors are unlikely unless there are errors in the barcode printing itself. Therefore, currently, automatic sorting systems primarily use barcode technology to identify goods.

3. Sorting operations are essentially unmanned. One of the purposes of establishing an automatic sorting system abroad is to reduce the use of personnel, the labor intensity of workers, and improve the efficiency of personnel use. Therefore, the automatic sorting system can minimize the use of personnel and basically achieve unmanned operation. The sorting operation itself does not require the use of personnel. The use of personnel is limited to the following tasks:
(1) When the delivery vehicle arrives at the incoming goods end of the automatic sorting line, the goods are received manually.
(2) The operation of the sorting system is controlled manually.
(3) At the end of the sorting line, the sorted goods are manually collected and loaded onto the truck.
(4) Operation, management and maintenance of the automatic sorting system.
