Sorter system

16 January 2018

Advanced manufacturing and logistics control specialist Red Ledge and materials handling specialist Stockrail International are co-launching ‘Red Ledge RedRail’, a simple but innovative Excel spreadsheet-driven box sorter that, according to Red Ledge, is the first of its kind and one third the price of an average sortation system.

Red Ledge RedRail is available in one- through 12-gate versions and sorts most items that can be scanned including trays and tote boxes, from 200mm up to 780mm, at a rate of 500 to 1000 boxes an hour depending on size.

The system is driven by a standard Excel spreadsheet that issues sortation instructions, controls the sorting process and reports results once sortation is complete. Logistics processes controlled by the system include goods in and verification, cross-docking and goods out, where boxes are sorted by (say) courier or route.

Red Ledge RedRail will be on show at IntraLogisteX 2018 (27th to 28th February, Ricoh Arena Coventry).
