E-commerce is booming and this in turn is driving a growth in omnichannel retail. The integration of offline- and online sales channels poses major challenges for the intralogistics of retailers, requiring deliveries to shops, constantly increasing numbers of e-commerce orders as well as returns all to be handled as efficiently as possible. Expanding portfolios and rising customer expectations for next day delivery once an order is placed only add to the pressure. Speed is therefore of the essence. That’s no problem for the BOWE INTRALOGISTICS Pouch Sorter.
The pocket sorter features a flexible and efficient overhead conveyor system that allows different sales channels to be handled in parallel. A single bag sorter is able to transport, sort, buffer or sequence hanging garments and flat products, individual items and even small boxes weighing up to 2.5 kg. The Pouch Sorter can sort up to 7,200 items per hour per sorter block and in combination with our innovative BCR- & RFID technology and our high performance Warehouse Management System (WMS) one Pouch Sorter system can handle both e-commerce orders and retail orders in any desired combination and in the required sequence. The key to this is that every item is handled individually.
