MEET Sure Sort X

This is Sortation to the Power of X

With nearly eight billion items sorted to date, Sure Sort leads the industry with its state-of-the-art product handling and throughput capability. Based on customer feedback, Sure Sort X has been redesigned from the inside out to provide a reliable and robust industrial solution to handle nearly 100% of customer-sortable products, including items 60% smaller, nearly 20% larger, and up to 4X heavier. This is sortation to the power of X.

MEET Sure Sort X with Xtract

Automated Order Takeaway

The new OPEX® Sure Sort® X with Xtract™ is the only fully adaptable, turnkey solution on the market developed to address labor shortage challenges by automating two key aspects of order fulfillment―rapid speed sortation through consolidating batch- or wave-picked inventory and the previously manual order takeaway process―with a return on investment often realized within just two years.

OPEX Xtract is an optional feature for Sure Sort X that automates the order takeaway process. The Xtract iBOTs retrieve totes containing sorted orders and dispense them into the proper container, including shipping boxes, for downstream processing.

iBOT® Delivery Vehicles

Sure Sort X iBOT® delivery vehicles have more sophisticated motion algorithms, which allow iBOTs to efficiently maneuver throughout the system while changing their destination in real time, ensuring the highest level of system uptime and availability.

Pack-to-Light System

The unique pack-to-light feature identifies orders ready for packing with a customizable array of LED indicators.

Induction Station

The drop conveyor automatically accelerates items for optimal delivery of up to one item per second. When items reach the scan tunnel, they are scanned on six sides by fixed-mount readers, and up to eight barcodes can be processed simultaneously.

The OPEX® Sure Sort® X, an advanced automated sorting system, features an induction scanner with conveyor for seamless operation.

Hand Scanner

Hard-to-read items can be manually scanned and processed via a convenient hand scanner, giving Sure Sort X the flexibility to adapt to your specific induction needs.
