Industry Applications and Use Cases
Automation is transforming warehousing and logistics, and Sure Sort and Sure Sort X are driving innovation across multiple industries. From e-commerce fulfillment to parcel sorting and cross-docking, these systems provide unmatched flexibility for businesses looking to scale operations efficiently.
E-Commerce and
Retail Fulfillment
E-Commerce and Retail Fulfillment
As online shopping demand surges, warehouses must process higher order volumes with tighter delivery windows. Sure Sort and Sure Sort X optimize e-commerce fulfillment by:
- Increasing order throughput, reducing processing bottlenecks.
- Automating order consolidation, improving accuracy, and reducing mis-sorts.
- Reducing labor costs, requiring fewer operators for higher output.
- Handling a wide variety of SKUs, from apparel to electronics and household goods.
Example: A retailer needs to scale operations while reducing reliance on temporary labor during peak seasons. By implementing an automated sorting system such as Sure Sort or Sure Sort X, the company can transition from individual order picking to a batch-picking process, enabling warehouse staff to pick and sort more orders in less time. This minimizes unnecessary walking within the facility, improves efficiency, and reduces seasonal labor needs.
Parcel Sorting and Presort Operations
Parcel Sorting and Presort Operations
For 3PLs and distribution hubs, the ability to sort parcels quickly and accurately is essential. Sure Sort X excels in parcel sorting applications, particularly for:
- Presorting shipments by zip code to reduce carrier fees.
- Sorting packages of varying sizes and weights, up to 20 lbs.
- Optimizing last-mile delivery operations, ensuring faster processing and dispatch.
Example: A leading 3PL is struggling to keep up with rapid growth in e-commerce orders while maintaining its same-day shipping guarantee. Batch-picking and order consolidation require multiple steps and up to eight employees per shift. Implementing Sure Sort streamlines order processing while requiring only three operators, even during peak demand. The system allows the company to handle 4x peak volume without additional labor, ensuring faster parcel sorting and cost-efficient shipping.
Returns Processing and Reverse Logistics
Returns Processing and Reverse Logistics
Returns processing remains one of the most complex and labor-intensive areas in warehouse operations. Sure Sort and Sure Sort X improve efficiency by:
- Automating return categorization based on disposition (reshelving, refurbishing, disposal).
- Sorting returned products faster, reducing backlog.
- Reducing processing costs and minimizing manual handling.
Example: A leader in omni-channel logistics needs to enhance order accuracy and efficiency in handling high-volume returns. Many returned items have barcodes hidden within packaging and require extensive manual handling. Integrating Sure Sort with an RFID scan tunnel increases read rate accuracy to 99%, eliminating manual scanning delays and doubling sortation efficiency This allowed them to process returned items faster, improving inventory turnover and reducing labor strain during peak return periods.
Cross-docking and Sort-to-Aisle Fulfillment
Cross-docking and Sort-to-Aisle Fulfillment
For retailers and distributors, cross-docking enables faster material flow and inventory movement without long-term storage. Sure Sort and Sure Sort X support direct-to-store replenishment and sort-to-aisle applications by:
- Sorting incoming shipments directly to outbound destinations without delay.
- Minimizing handling and storage time, improving inventory turnover.
- Optimizing retail store replenishment, ensuring product availability.
Example: A global apparel manufacturer relies on manual put walls for order fulfillment, which slows down processing and creates inefficiencies for in-store replenishment. Deploying Sure Sort allows the company to streamline sorting and direct-to-store shipments while reducing reliance on manual labor and expediting the transfer of inventory to retail locations. The system’s faster order processing enables more consistent in-store stock availability, helping them maintain a competitive edge in a fast-moving environment.
Kitting and Subscription Box Fulfillment
Kitting and Subscription Box Fulfillment
For companies assembling product kits, subscription boxes, or bundled orders, Sure Sort and Sure Sort X offer:
- Automated product matching and sorting, reducing errors.
- Streamlined kitting workflows, speeding up order fulfillment.
- Scalability to accommodate varying kit configurations.
Example: A large wholesaler manually assembles supply kits with up to 44 items per pack, leading to slow fulfillment times and excessive labor costs. Implementing Sure Sort X can reduce manual labor by 65% while increasing daily order pack output. The system allows for batch processing of kits and improves order accuracy while enabling them to handle seasonal spikes in demand without additional staff.
Chapter 5
