About the Sorting Robot ( T-sort)
With T-Sort, the sorting robots travel along an optimized route on a specialized floor covering to transport and sort material.
Compared to conventional fixed equipment such as conveyors and sorters, the layout and number of robots is highly flexible because robots can be increased and decreased depending on needs, and the footprint for the same throughput is about half of a conventional sortation system.
With more than 20,000 robots in operation in 20 countries in industries such as EC, retail, 3PLs, apparel, and pharmaceutical, the performance of the system has a proven track record of reliability.
