Key Features at a Glance

Modular & Scalable

Architecture supports phased upgrades and throughput expansion.

High-Speed 3D Dimensioning

Captures dimensions in real time without stopping conveyor.

Quick Sorting Module

Diverters ensure precise lane assignment (4–14 outputs).

Smart Parcel Tracking

Assigns a unique ID for seamless WMS/WCS data sync.

System Overview & Workflow

Placeholder

System Overview

The system operates on a single & Double induct conveyor designed for manual feeding of parcels. It integrates three core modules:

• Barcode Scanner → Captures parcel identity through 1D/2D barcodes, even if torn or poorly printed.

• 3D Profiler → Captures precise dimensional data (L × W × H) in real time using camera/laser technology.

• Weighing Conveyor → Measures dynamic weight with high accuracy as parcels move along the belt.

Operational Flow

Manual Induction

Manual Induction

Operator places parcel on induct conveyor.

Data Capture

Core Functions

Dimensioning (D)

  • Captures L × W × H with ±10 mm accuracy.
  • Non-intrusive 3D camera or laser system ensures smooth conveyor flow.
  • Supports both regular and irregular parcels.

Weighing (W)

  • Dynamic load cell technology with ±10 g accuracy.
  • Handles parcels ranging from 100 g to 10 kg.
  • Auto-calibration for long operating cycles.

Scanning (S)

  • Multi-angle barcode readers ensure 99% read rate.
  • Compatible with 1D/2D, QR, OCR, and RFID (optional).
  • Intelligent decoding for damaged or low-contrast labels.

Sorting (Optional)

  • Uses Linear & Cross Belt System in Combination.
  • Supports up to 14 exits depending on configuration.
  • Modular layout design for quick expansion.

Advantages

Advantages

Compact Footprint & Plug & Play Installation

Compact footprint with modular scalability and system can be deployed within a single day.

High Accuracy & Error Reduction

Precise dimensioning, weighing, and scanning functions minimizes manual intervention and human errors.

Data Precision & Seamless Integration

Ensures accurate data capturing and real-time parcel traceability and ready for WMS/ERP/SAP connectivity.

Cost-Effective & Labor Optimization

Ideal alternative to large cross-belt sorters for mid-to-high throughput operations and reduced manual handling lowers labor costs and error rates.

Flexible Configurations & Applications

1:4 Format

  • 1 induct + 2 cross conveyors → 4 exits (Left & Right).
  • Ideal for small operations, return processing, secondary sorting.

1:8 Format

  • 1 induct + 2 inline conveyors + 3 cross conveyors per side → 8 exits.
  • Ideal for mid—size facilities, courier networks, regional hubs.

2:8 Format

  • 2 induct + 6 inline conveyors + 6 cross conveyors per side → 8 exits.
  • Ideal for high—throughput operations with dual feeding capacity.

2:14 Format

  • 2 induct + 6 inline conveyors + 14 cross conveyors per side → 14 exits.
  • Ideal for maximum destination flexibility, complex distribution networks.
