Solutions: Sortation

Move a broad range of products and packaging to the right places at the right time

Sortation is essential for supply chain systems to run smoothly with the rise in labor shortages, SKU variability and e-Commerce distribution demands. FORTNA offers a broad range of conveyor and sortation solutions that can create a more responsive operation to effectively handle high volumes of cases or totes with speed, accuracy and high throughput.

FORTNA oversees all aspects of conveyor and sortation systems in-house, handling design, engineering, installation, fabrication, software and controls to bring together all elements of a complete, tightly integrated solution. This expertise optimizes product flow and makes the most of limited floor space and labor in greenfield and brownfield projects.

Maximize efficiency and accuracy with a distribution center sortation system

When it comes to getting the right products to the right destination at the right time, any delays in the sortation process can significantly impact the delivery process. That’s why it is critical for a distribution center to have an efficient and reliable sortation system in place.

FORTNA’s single-source, turnkey approach expedites project timelines and simplifies troubleshooting, ensuring high-quality systems that run at peak efficiency as part of advanced automated solutions. With faster implementation of modular designs, you can ensure your process meets and exceeds customer expectations during busy seasonal periods.

Sorting technologies for the best-fit solution

FORTNA offers a broad range of sorting solutions designed to meet the unique needs of distribution and parcel operations. From low to mid and high capacity, cutting-edge technology ensures that packages of all sizes and shapes are sorted with the utmost efficiency and accuracy. Choosing the ideal technology for an optimized solution design guarantees that your sortation process aligns with operational demands, capacity requirements and building constraints.

Types of sortation process automation:

Distribution operations in B2B market and retail
Crossdocking
Sortation of inbound and outbound parcels
Reverse logistics
3PL and e-Commerce fulfillment automation

Optimize your supply chain, increase throughput and adapt to changing volumes

As the pressure increases on distribution operations to perform at or exceed expectations, the demand for higher order volumes and shorter processing times continues to grow. To adjust to this changing reality, companies need to implement smarter and more efficient sortation solutions to sort large quantities of inventory contained in a wide variety of package sizes and types. FORTNA provides comprehensive and unique sortation systems designed to streamline your sortation process for optimized results with minimized operations costs.
