Sortation System Considerations | Sorter Conveyor Specification

Implementing an automated sortation system can revolutionize your operations, but only if you consider the key factors before you make a decision on the conveyor type, sorter type, and its attributes.

Sortation conveyors may include shoe sorters, cross-belt sorters, pop-wheel and roller sorters, a variety of conveyors, and other automated sortation systems. (See details of many of these sorter choices here). These systems are designed for either low or high volume order sizes, to promote shipping accuracy, and the ability to ship more frequently. They also offer increased productivity, labor savings, cost reduction, and vastly improved customer satisfaction.

Whether you want to streamline facility processes, anticipate growth in the future, or ramp up throughput, these guidelines will help you make the right choices as you move down the path toward automation solutions for your operation.

Good day. I have a partially complete model C (attached) but the problem is that once a conveyor lane fills up with cartons and blocks the build back PE then the boxes destined for that lane as well as all the other lanes go straight to the dump sink. I intend for only the full lane to have it's parcels to go to the dump sink until the PE is clear again. Can anyone perhaps assist me please in correcting the code snippets so that only the "full lanes" parcels go to the dump sink when the respective build back PE is blocked? This model does not have anything to clear or empty the conveyor lanes on purpose fyi. Emptying of the conveyors / unloading them I will do in my other simulation. Thanks. .06.02.05 Model C.fsm

Hi @Juan S4, attached you find the model with my changes. The problem in your solution was, that you only have one global variable but 4 points to enter it. I´ve just made 4 global variables.

-model-c_SH.fsm

Another possible way to solve this would be by using labels on objects. This way you would not use global variables at all. As soon as your line is full change the label value (e.g. on a photo eye or DP) and in your decision just ask for the label value.
