CASE STUDIES

SITUATION:
In order to accommodate their continued growth, this e-commerce retailer commissioned TriFactor to provide a solution to bridge the gap between bulk flow from the local order fulfillment centers to last mile delivery operations. To meet this need, TriFactor designed, procured, installed and commissioned a 3,400 LF, 12,000 parcel per hour bulk sortation system.

The system provides 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.

The result is the retailer 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.
