Examples

Sorting systems at the various sites of a CEP Service Provider

The ROTA-Sorter® system processes the daily volume of parcels and bags on two different sorting lines. In order to be able to sort this volume within the very limited available time window, the highest degree of availability and flexible sorting equipment are the decisive factors of the ROTA-Sorter® system. The end points of the sub-flows are linked to each other, so that packages and bags for the same destination are once again combined.

Sorting systems an storage terminals at the various sites of a CEP service provider

In order to efficiently manage delivery along the final stretch, various parcel flows are sorted using the ROTA-Sorter®, and subsequently buffered at storage terminals. This completely decouples the sorting and loading processes, thereby minimizing waiting times for delivery drivers.
