Denisort system enables efficient "Sort&Drive" for parcel distribution center

Ferag has developed an automatic sorting system for postal and parcel distribution centres that brings parcels as close as possible to the delivery vehicles. The heart of the system is a modular Denisort tilting tray sorter, which processes up to 8500 trays per hour in the tightest of spaces. With 1200 trays and a length of 700 metres, this is the largest Denisort line built to date by the Swiss material handling specialist. The 21-square-metre double chutes integrated on the sorter are another highlight, and are used for loading the parcels into the delivery vehicles.

Challenge / Project goal:

• Full automation of a parcel distribution center for the last mile
• Optimal use of available space, many sorting destinations at tight space conditions
• Processing a wide range of diffrent parcels up to 800 mm length in one system
• Customized software and user interface
• Noise emission <80dBA
