Sortation conveyors utilize speed, automation and precise tracking to streamline the sorting process. As items are transported across the conveyor belt, advanced sensors identify their characteristics including size, weight or barcode. The system then uses automated diverters or gates to direct items to the appropriate locations. The result is a highly organized flow of goods, minimizing manual handling and ensuring accurate order fulfillment.
