Flow projector streamlines sorting
16 August 2024
WITH LABOUR shortages, the warehousing, logistics and e-commerce sectors are having to handle more packages than ever with fewer workers. These challenges can be partly addressed by a single piece of technology – the Prime Vision Flow Projector.

The Prime Vision Flow Projector is an advanced technological solution designed to optimise the efficiency and accuracy of parcel sorting processes in warehouses and e-commerce fulfilment centres. Essentially, it is a compact unit that houses a combination of recognition sensors, laser projection technology, and vision recognition software. When installed above a sorting area, the Flow Projector can immediately identify the destination of a parcel by reading its barcode. Using a laser beam, it projects the sorting destination directly onto the parcel, providing clear and precise guidance for the sorting personnel.
As parcels move along the conveyor, the system tracks their movement, maintaining the projected sorting number on each parcel until it is collected. This continuous tracking ensures that workers can easily and accurately sort parcels without the need for handheld scanners or other additional tools, significantly streamlining the process.
Moreover, the display be configured to not only show the final sorting destination, but also the sequence in which packages should be loaded into trucks. This feature is particularly beneficial for optimising loading efficiency and ensuring that parcels are loaded in the correct order for delivery routes.
The technology’s plug-and-play capability means that it can be easily integrated into most existing sortation systems without requiring extensive modifications or large investment costs.
