  • Sortation Systems | Line, Loop, Popup, Diverts & Controls | TREW

    Scalable sortation technology - from unit sorters to loop systems - integrated with PLC and WCS for warehouse throughput and precise product handling. Top of Page LRS MRS HRS HOME SOLUTIONS SORTATION Sortation Getting items to the right place at the right time is a fundamental need in fulfillment operations. Success requires a combination of software, hardware, and know-how to create the right solution. Sorter applications include facility routing, order consolidation, inventory distribution, workstation balancing, buffering, staging, shipping and more; often functions mission critical for operations.  Types of Sortation Whether the application is shipping, facility routing, order consolidation, inventory distribution, workstation balancing, buffering, or staging, designing the right sortation solution takes more than picking a piece of equipment. It starts with understanding the items being handled, the rate required, how products are packaged, how they’re inducted, and how they exit the sorter. Add to that the flow of the building, the sorter’s technical capabilities, and its ability to adapt to business changes. When applied correctly, sortation unlocks operational capacity and efficiency. When it’s not, it becomes a bottleneck that can impact the entire operation. LRS High-Speed Sortation 100 - 350 cpm+ TrewSort Sliding Shoe Sorter ® Trew’s Sliding Shoe Sorter delivers high-capacity, high accuracy, gentle positive divert sortation of cartons, totes, jiffys, and polybags. Sliding shoe sorters are used in routing and shipping operations and are typically mission critical for successful operations. TrewSort’s AI self-learning actuators and inherent design for operations, maintenance, and installation deliver sortation capabilities to keep your systems running reliably at peak performance. Links Video - TrewSort® Sliding Shoe Sorter Overview TrewTouch™ TrewTouch is an advanced product‑handling approach designed to bring greater accuracy and control to high‑rate sliding‑shoe sortation. By fine‑tuning divert velocity, shoe path, and shoe material, TrewTouch enables smoother product acceleration during the divert process - reducing disruption and maintaining stability as throughput increases. The result is improved product handling in mixed‑item environments, fewer missorts, and more consistent sortation performance across demanding retail, ecommerce, and parcel operations. Links Video - TrewTouch™ Overview MRS Mid-Rate Sortation 45 - 200 cpm TrewSort® Swivel Wheel TrewSort Swivel Wheel delivers flexible, reliable mid-rate sortation for parcel operations, ecommerce fulfillment, manufacturing, and mixed-item distribution. SmartRow™ technology enables independent control of each wheel row, delivering accurate, high-capacity sortation with very small product gaps to maximize throughput. Its modular design supports a wide range of product profiles - including cartons, totes, polybags, flats, and mixed parcel sizes - ensuring smooth, precise routing across diverse applications. Wheel Grip Technology maintains product orientation for controlled diverts, reducing missorts and improving efficiency. Durable wheel assemblies and plug-and-play row modules simplify maintenance, minimizing downtime while providing adaptable, high-performance sortation. TrewSort® Wheel Divert TrewSort Wheel Divert is a proven pneumatic linear sortation solution that delivers dependable, high-speed diverting of cartons and totes in case-conveyance applications. Pneumatically actuated wheels provide precise 30-degree diverts while maintaining conveying speed and product orientation, ensuring accurate routing without sacrificing throughput. This robust, easy-to-maintain design makes the Wheel Divert an ideal choice for facilities seeking reliable performance and long-term operational efficiency. 90º Strip Belt Sorter 90º Strip Belt Sorters provide quiet higher throughput bi-directional transfers of cartons and totes where their orientation is not maintained; ideal for buffering and routing applications with a high number of parallel divert lanes. 30º Strip Belt Sorter 30⁰ Strip Belt Sorters divert items using pop-up wheels located at various locations along the length of the sorter. The design features quiet bi-directional diverting of cartons and totes while maintaining orientation. HRS Low-Rate Sortation < 45 cpm Motorized Roller Diverts Motorized Roller Diverts are typically part of a motorized roller solution often used in low-rate tote and carton handling applications. Right Angle Transfers Right Angle Transfers are typically part of a motorized roller solution transporting totes and cartons, often used in pick-and-pass and workstation areas. Unit Sortation Shuttle Sortation Stride™ Shuttle Sorter is an automated store replenishment fulfillment & sortation alternative to put walls and item loop sortation that can increase order fulfillment by up to 4X, maximize shipping container cube utilization by up to 10%, and fit in a compact footprint. Push Tray Unit Sorter Push Tray Unit Sorters are flexible single sided sorters capable of handling a wide range of products like polybags, apparel, odd-shaped items to heavy cartons on the same sorter, using a pusher element to positively divert products. In applications with a wide range of items size, the twin pusher design can double the throughput capacity of the sorter. Split Tray Unit Sorter Split Tray Unit Sorters are used to sort relatively lightweight items in high throughput ecommerce, omnichannel, retail fulfillment, postal, laundry, and pharmaceutical applications. Due to the unique tray shape, non-conveyable and round objects can be handled on this sorter in addition to standard products, such as apparel, postal flats and packages, books, pharmaceuticals, polybags, multi-media, jewelry, accessories and more. Cross Tray Unit Sorter Cross Tray Unit Sorter is used in applications that need to sort the smallest, lightest, and least conveyable items. The sorter is suitable for small parcels, ecommerce items, fashion, shoe boxes, sportswear, and pharmaceutical products. Cross-Belt Unit Sorter Cross-Belt Unit Sorter is used for the highest throughput, operational flexibility, and handling the widest range of items - small to large. They are often the best solutions for non-conveyable, apparel, and light items as well as envelopes, parcels, totes, and heavy packages. They fit well in many applications such as ecommerce, apparel, footwear, parcel, and cross docking operations. A sorter is only a part of the story in tailoring a solution for your business. During conception, we will listen to you about your business and goals, collaboratively work through alternatives for induction, sortation logic, destination configurations, after-sort design, and the operations downstream of the sort.

It is straightforward and flexible with a warehouse associate directed to a storage area to locate and pick items for orders. It’s a human-led process, often supported by technology like RF scanners, pick-to-light systems, or voice picking.  The P2G approach typically lowers an operations cost/pick and improves accuracy and fulfillment speed, with the technology used selected to match the flexibility and growth goals of a business. Benefits of Person-to-Goods Automation P2G is often a starting point for growing operations with the adoption of RF or voice picking or combined with automation to be a critical part of medium and high-volume operations. Operations adopt P2G when: Inventory is spread out or changes frequently.  Flexibility is key, like in seasonal or high-SKU environments.  Labor efficiency gains are needed to scale the business. Accuracy improvements are needed to meet goals. Employee turnover is a challenge and training times need to be reduced. Types of Person-To-Goods Technologies Operator-to-goods Radio Frequency (RF) RF picking presents order information to selectors via a mobile device, often worn on the wrist. It improves accuracy and pick rates over paper-based methods and offers flexibility for various order types and inventory. RF is commonly used for discrete picking or combined with batch picking and order consolidation. PickPad™ PickPad™ is a tablet-based solution that uses graphics to guide picking operations. Mounted on a sled or cart with multiple order totes, it supports cluster and batch picking, where inventory is picked in bulk and distributed into orders. This method can boost productivity by up to 40% compared to RF or paper and achieves near 100% accuracy. Pick-to-Light Pick-to-light improves accuracy and efficiency, especially in less than full case and each-pick environments. Lights direct selectors to inventory within designated zones and support both discrete and batch picking, often in pick-and-pass setups.

    Explore Goods-to-Person systems that boost pick speed, accuracy, and storage efficiency using AMRs, shuttles, robotic arms, and SmartMoves WES. HOME SOLUTIONS GOODS-TO-PERSON Goods-to-Person Goods-to-Person (G2P) systems, also known as Goods-to-Operator (GTO), bring inventory directly to the pick operator, eliminating unnecessary walking and significantly improving picking speed, accuracy, and storage space utilization. G2P solutions can include technologies like shuttle or miniload-fed automatic pick stations, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), and robotic arms. Operator-to-goods Benefits of Goods-to-Person Systems: Reduce travel time Improve pick accuracy Maximize storage density Enhance labor efficiency Goods-to-operator Types of Goods-to-Person Automation There are four unique categories of G2P automation - module-based, aisle-based, cube-based, and corral-based. Each has their own strengths within fulfillment operations. The Solutions Development process defines the best fit. Module-Based G2P Best for: Low-velocity SKUs, brownfield retrofits, kitting, and mid-sized warehouses. Robots access inventory and deliver it directly to pick stations within a self-contained subsystem. Multiple modules can be connected via conveyor to pass the orders to the modules where the SKU resides - Combined with intelligent software to optimize picking, offering unparalleled accuracy, efficiency, and scalability. The result = a precise, fast, and adaptable solution for growing businesses. Aisle-Based G2P Best for: High-volume fulfillment centers with large SKU populations. Designed for high-volume ecommerce and retail fulfillment, these multi-aisle shuttle systems use lifts and conveyors to deliver totes, cartons, or trays directly to workstations with speed and precision. The approach supports the widest range of SKUs, heavy totes and cartons, and can accommodate single, double, or quad-deep storage to maximize density. With very high mechanical throughput rates this solution offers dense, flexible storage for operations that need performance at scale. Cube-Based G2P Best for: Operations with moderate to high order volumes, moderate SKU populations with smaller products, and dense storage needs. Robots retrieve stacked bins from a grid system and deliver them to ports around the perimeter. Each robot has access to every SKU and pick station. Compact, scalable, and well-suited for small-item or multi-SKU bin applications. Corral-Based G2P Best for: Flexible, scalable operations with growing SKU counts. Robots retrieve bins from shallow-depth racking and deliver them to decoupled manual or automated workstations. Capable of shelf or tote-to-person as well as unit, full case, or pallet level movement. Highly configurable with minimal infrastructure and strong redundancy. Finding the Right Fit Every warehouse is different. At Trew, we help you choose the G2P technology that best fits your: Order volume SKU variety and velocity Available space Fulfillment goals Whether you’re working with an existing facility or starting from scratch, G2P systems can deliver faster picking, better accuracy, and smarter use of space.
