What services does warehouse automation consulting include?

Quinta’s warehouse automation consulting covers workflow analysis, technology recommendations, implementation planning, and ongoing optimization. Experts assess your current operations and suggest solutions like robotics, scanning equipment, and software integration to streamline supply chain efficiency.

What is Warehouse Technology Advisory?

Quinta’s warehouse technology advisory helps organizations select and implement the right hardware, software, and automation strategies. Services include evaluating scanners, robotics, embedded processors, and laser systems to enhance productivity and ROI.

What is Static DWS Scan Equipment?

Static DWS Scan Equipment refers to stationary barcode and RFID scanning systems used in warehouses. Quinta deploys these for high-speed scanning at docks, packing stations, or conveyor lines, ensuring accurate inventory tracking and faster operations.

What are high speed scanners and their benefits?

A high speed scanner quickly reads barcodes and RFID tags to streamline order fulfillment, inventory checks, and shipping. Quinta provides scanners that reduce bottlenecks, improve accuracy, and integrate with warehouse management systems for seamless operations.

Linear Sorter - Quinta

Linear Sorters: Serve More Destinations, Sort More Parcels, Be More Efficient

This category of automated sorting systems is defined by the straight conveyors or carrying surfaces of the solutions.

Thanks to the configuration, the warehouse solution achieves optimal sorting speed because, unlike other models, loads are not slowed by navigating bends in the path, uphill inclined planes, spirals, etc.

The popular linear sorter types are:

Linear Cross Belt Sorters
Linear Swing Arm Sorters
Linear Tilt Tray Sorters
Linear Swivel Wheel Sorters

Explore Top-of-the-Line Linear Sorters by Quinta

Here are the key linear automated sorting systems models in our product portfolio:

Linear Cross-Belt Sorters

Defined by an array of bi-directional slide cells, called cross-belts, which help maximise the number of destination codes
High precision-sorting with minimal impact on shipment, regardless of the load type

Swing Arm Sorters

Characterised by arm-like actuators—-stick-like pusher/paddle—generating powerful nudges
Ideal for large, rugged, box-like shipments, but compatible with some of the other shapes and load types too

Swivel Wheel Sorters

Built for automatically diverting parcels into bifurcations; linear bifurcations for linear sorters
Handles a variety of load types, including cartons, pallets, and polybags, among others

Tilt Tray Sorters

Marked by tray-like carriers, programmed to tilt to eject the payload into chutes

Ideal for small items or assorted compact shipments, scheduled to be bundled and shipped as a unit

Key Advantage of Linear Sorters

The key advantage of linear automatic parcel sorting systems is that, even when cramped by other warehouse setups, the straight conveyor helps accommodate more chutes than other models do. Each of these chutes is mapped with destination or area codes.

Hence, with linear sorters, more destination or area codes can be processed compared to other scenarios. This is what makes the automation solution ideal for nodal hubs and distribution centres, which serve large networks of PIN Codes.

Also, the linear configuration ensures that there is enough pace for other warehouse processes, including packaging and stock-keeping—as well as dimensioning, weighing, and label-scanning, if the sorter is not integrated with a Dynamic DWS System—to run undisturbed in tandem.

What Are the Benefits of Quinta’s Linear Warehouse Sorters and Automated Parcel Sorting Systems?

Discover Why Automated Sortation Systems Ensure Quick ROI Recovery

Higher-Than-Ever Throughput

Stay on top of your order fulfilment commitments by ensuring just-in-time, if not before-time, deliveries. Farewell to manual sorting!

Error Reduction

Eliminate sortation errors that result in revenue leakage due to misshipping and avoid the operational costs associated with managing such returns.

Customer Satisfaction

Drive peak customer satisfaction via optimal intralogistics speed and accuracy, as well as careful material-handling, facilitated by automated sortation.

Scalability

Optimise throughput, i.e., order processing efficiency, to open yourself up to dealing with large order volumes. Grow your business by boosting your throughput.

Flexibility

Deal with a wide range of items and shipments in terms of sizes, weights, and product types effortlessly, without the hassle of manually coordinating resources to handle loads of different scales.

Greater Profitability

Leveraging the automated sortation machine reduces dependency on manual labour. Thus, industry players can save overhead costs. With fewer errors, mitigated shipment damage due to material-handling, and reduced per-unit energy consumption

Employee Satisfaction

Reduced manual labour can ensure less strenuous and safer working conditions, boosting the overall employee satisfaction.

Workflow Insights

The automation tool also tracks sortation bottlenecks, providing data-driven insights for optimising warehouse operations.

Strategic Edge

Stay abreast with your peers who have begun automating warehouse management/ manufacturing execution. Get ahead of those yet to embrace automation. Attract more deals with e-commerce partners by attaining a competitive order fulfilment speed.

We understand that embracing warehouse automation solutions, such as sorters, can be challenging. But what are we for? To help you make informed Digital Transformation investments!

Key Considerations Before Investing in Sorters

Types of Items

Choose components and sorting mechanisms according to:

The material and structural integrity of the item(s)/shipment(s)
The packaging used: Shrink wrap case, apparel on hangers, corrugated carton, tote, bagged apparel, poly bags, bubble mailers, etc. Here, considering the ratio of the load types may be the best strategy, i.e., percentage of totes vs. the percentage of poly bags vs. bubble-wrapped shipments, and others processed.
The dimensional range processed in the operations.

Spatial Footprint

Despite the fact that a linear sorter may leave space for other solutions to be placed around it, the long runway can be space-consuming. It’s best to analyse the trade-off between storage space and throughput.
