CEVA Toronto
SITUATION
CEVA was selected to provide fulfillment for an ecommerce retailer who required the need for a large, intermediate sort center. The system identified to bridge the gap between bulk flow from the local order fulfillment centers to last mile delivery operations. This new sort center would also need to be large enough to grow into an auto-sort center in the future.
SOLUTION
TriFactor designed and executed a system with four functional areas: small sorts, unloading, primary sort and a pallet run-out system to feed pallet building. Equipment required to provide the required functionality included VFD controlled bulk parcel conveyor, hydraulic tote dumpers, control panels, air actuated divert plows, sort feed, unloading and associate sort mezzanines, various stainless steel feed and QA chutes and a large, primary sort slide/chute structure. Extensive training was provided to assist the maintenance and operations crew with ramp up using the new system.
RESULT
The customer now has the ability to sort 12,000 packages per hour in this location, enhancing the quality of its local delivery service, including 1 and 2-day delivery.
