GreyOrange
Cross-Belt Sorter
 Achieve unprecedented
throughput with
cutting-edge sortation
technology.

To manage the increasing supply chain pressure, high cost of space as

well as manpower, warehouses & distribution centres today are
turning towards technology. Automating your warehouse processes
will be the only way forward to sustain the growing scales.
The GreyOrange Cross-Belt Sorter (CBS) is a loop conveyor based sorting system well-suited for operations
in areas with limited space or challenging layouts and with high number of end-destination sorts. It routes
packages based on industry defined sortation logics such as destination, volume, weight or any other
custom logic based on your business dynamics. The system is completely modular and scalable and comes
in three standard sorting configurations of 12000, 15000 or 18000 packets per hour.

 Customer Challenges
Managing the Scale Error-free
In warehouse operations, where you
require sortation throughput of 12000
packets/hour or more, manual sortation
process is not feasible to support the scale
of operations and additionally, is
error-prone
Seasonal Demand Surge
Managing peak demand due to daily, weekly,
monthly seasonality and other similar reasons
is a business limiter
Integration & Real-Time Issues
One of the biggest challenges faced by
companies with most technology solutions is
the non-compliance with their existing IT
systems and non-availability of data in real time
Long Lead Time
Industry-wide it takes 9-12 months to install
a cross-belt sortation system
* Data based on customer installations
GreyOrange Solution
High-Throughput &
Error-Free Sortation
With high throughput of up to 18000
packets/hour and direct bagging, you can
deliver orders to your customer even on the
same day and with 99.9% accuracy
Dynamic Software
Configuration
Because the GreyOrange Cross-Belt Sorter
system cuts down the sorting time drastically, it
can handle demand peaks well. Also, the
dynamic software configuration using
GreyOrange Sorter Management Software
enables you to dynamically reconfigure sortation
logic to manage changing business demands
Seamless Integration
Having integrated with all major WMS systems,
GreyOrange Cross-Belt Sorter system works

systems, making all information available in
real-time
Fastest Conceptualization
to Go-Live Time
GreyOrange Cross-Belt Sorter can be
delivered and installed in 6 months, enabling
you to use the technology as early as possible
03
 Customer Challenges
Varied Payload Types
With SKU proliferation in warehouses, sorting
thousands of packets of varying size and shape
eciently in a few hours is challenging
High Maintenance Cost
After a couple of years of operations,
maintenance cost rises exponentially, due to
high cost of spare-parts, replacement of which
is usually not covered in standard Annual
Maintenance Contracts (AMC)
* Data based on customer installations

GreyOrange Solution
Variable Payload Sorting
GreyOrange Cross-Belt Sorter is capable of
sorting a variety of payloads including
cartons, cases, totes, parcels and even
polybags of regular/irregular packets with
minimum height of 3mm
Low Maintenance
With GreyOranges SLA-based AMC
costing that covers both spare-parts and
labour costs, the maintenance cost, even
after a couple years of operations, remains
fairly low
Key Features
Sortation with Direct Bagging
Sortation conveyor is able to sort and directly drop the packets through the chutes in
the connected bags, enabling sortation till last mile

Performance Management
Integrated user interface supports tracking of process and operator eciency, helps
find operation loopholes, and proactively solves issues to improve system utilization

Image Capturing
Automated image capturing and archiving for auditing and enabling pilferage control

Information Security
Role-based access control and encrypted communication over secure HTTPS protocol
between WMS and Sorter Management Software

Remote Monitoring
Monitor sorter operations, system health and productivity locally or remotely through
dashboards and visualization; get alert notifications in real-time for prompt actions

 System Components
Operator Panel
Shows dashboards for end-to-end monitoring

Volume Distribution System

Allows equal distribution of load between inducts, allowing all the inducts an equal
opportunity to feed packets into the system

Dynamic Induct System

Induct system integrated with a weighing conveyor intelligently controls the
flow of the packets into the sorter to maximize throughput

Integrated Scanning and Dimensioning System

Identifies packets using 1D barcode or 2D barcode or both and captures the
dimensions (length, width, height), along with real volume and box volume of
the packet

Carriages
The sortation conveyor consists of moving carriages. The number of carriages and carriage
pitch can be configured according to the number of sort destinations and SKU variations

Chutes
The moving carriages divert shipments into adjacent chutes and then to bags for direct
bagging operation. The chute design can be customised based on customer requirements
