How to choose automatic sorting equipment for logistics express delivery?

With the vigorous development of e-commerce industry, sorting has become an important part of improving logistics efficiency. However, with the decline of demographic dividend and the rising cost of employing people, it has become a trend to automate and unmanned sorting and conveying operations. For logistics enterprises and production enterprises, how to choose the appropriate automatic sorting equipment?

First, the mainstream automatic sorting system

Automatic sorting system is popular at present, especially in express delivery industry and e-commerce warehouse.

1) Cross-belt sorting system and turnover sorting system: mainly used for sorting boxes and single parts, and suitable for small and light parts.

2) Slider sorting system: it is mainly used for sorting boxes, which is suitable for medium-sized parts that are not easy to be damaged.

3) Balance wheel sorting system: it is mainly used for sorting boxes, with a general load of less than 50kg.

4) Ball module belt sorting system: it can sort a wide range of products, and also has good sorting ability for soft bags and woven bags with flat bottom.

5) Robot sorting system: it is mainly a sorting system for goods to people on shelves and parts, typically AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle). There is a Minions sorting system in the sorting system of AGV, which is mainly used for sorting parts.

Second, how to choose the appropriate automatic sorting system?

1)AGV sorting robot:

Mainly AGV sorting matrix, which is widely used in JD.COM unmanned warehouse. The concept of unmanned warehouse is advanced, but the large-scale application of this kind of Minions matrix sorting system is not cost-effective, with high failure rate and complex background scheduling algorithm. Moreover, this matrix AGV sorting system belongs to two-dimensional code navigation, and there is a technical bottleneck: the more AGV cars, the lower its handling capacity.

2) Automatic sorting system:

Slider sorting machine, used for box sorting, can not sort soft package goods; Cross-belt sorting, mainly used in subdivision fields, can provide more grids, with higher running speed and sorting capacity of 20,000-40,000 pieces, or even higher. Yingjie technology cross-belt equipment can quickly and accurately complete the classification and sorting of goods, improve logistics efficiency and reduce labor costs. Especially with the rapid development of e-commerce, the logistics industry needs to handle a large number of parcels and express mail, and automatic sorting equipment can effectively reduce the burden on staff and improve the sorting speed and accuracy.

3) Online robot sorting system:

The main problem is that the price is relatively high, which is not cost-effective for the warehousing industry and the efficiency cannot be compared with that of labor; At present, it appears in JD.COM and rookie, but it is rarely used in other e-commerce warehouses.
