Addverb SortIE Review: Specs and Uses of the Vertical Sortation Robot
Updated: 7 days ago
The Addverb SortIE is a vertical sortation robot: a carriage that moves along and up a wall of bins and places each item in its order location. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications and uses.
Quick Verdict
SortIE automates the put wall, the rack of compartments where picked items are grouped into customer orders. Instead of a person walking along the wall, a carriage takes each item and delivers it to the right compartment, moving at up to 3 m/s along an aisle of up to 15 m. It handles items up to 10 kg at 400 sorts per hour. Because it uses height, it sorts to many destinations on little floor space. It runs from an ordinary 220 V supply.
