Sorting system is a random, different categories, different whereabouts of the goods, according to its requirements for classification (by product category or product destination different points) a material handling system. With the improvement of social productivity, the increasingly rich products, goods sorting operation in the field of production and circulation, has become a time consuming, time-consuming, complex covers an area of large, high error rate, management department, to that end, goods sorting system has become an important branch of material handling system, widely used in telecommunications, aviation, food, pharmaceutical and other industries, Circulation center and distribution center.

I. Type of sorting system:

In the modern sorting technology, the picking system can be divided into two types of picking according to the operation mode: "arrival of goods by people" and "arrival of goods by people". In the "arrival of goods" sorting system, the sorting personnel take the picking container to the shelf of the goods to be picked according to the picking list or under the guidance of the picking system. At this time, the goods are in a static state. In the "delivery to person" picking system, the goods to be picked are transported to the picking surface by the automatic sorting system, and then the goods to be picked are picked manually or automatically. Whether it is the form of "man to man" or "goods to man", the selection process is through the process of selection, transportation and concentration.

1. Bulky sorting system

Bulk sorting system generally adopts typical traditional manual/semi-manual sorting system, automatic sorting system and so on. The traditional manual sorting system has low equipment investment and strong flexibility, but it also has relatively large labor intensity, low picking efficiency and high cost. The sorting efficiency and automation degree of automatic sorting system are high. Compared with manual sorting, it has great advantages in terms of labor time, continuity and accuracy, but its disadvantages are large equipment investment and long recovery cycle.

2. Small and medium parts sorting system

At present, China's express delivery industry is still dominated by small and medium-sized goods, and the degree of automation of the sorting operation is higher than that of large goods, but there are still many logistics enterprises to carry out manual sorting. At present, the mainstream automatic sorting system, such as cross belt, roller and other sorting equipment, has high investment cost and high requirements on the site area. Many enterprises can not realize automatic sorting either in capital or on the site. In view of these problems, Etown use ball module with sorting and conveying system, using modular design, flexible and convenient installation, can adapt to various types of large, medium and small venues. And the investment cost is low, 1.5 years can return the capital.

3. Paperless picking technology

Paperless picking technology includes RF bar code recognition terminal technology, electronic label picking technology and so on. RF bar code identification terminal technology has advantages in operation scenarios where detailed barcode information needs to be read. The UPC code, batch number or series number of a product can be accurately obtained by RF bar code terminal equipment. The electronic label picking technology is typically applied to the sorting surface of gravity sliding shelves and is suitable for the unpacking and picking of goods.
