Vanderlande and GLS again select EAE Flow.Control for controlling their Traysorter.

The Traysorter will substitude their current manual sortation process. In Milan they experienced an increase in capacity, a more stable sortation process, less mis-sorts while using fewer employees. The Vanderlande Traysorter sorts to 42 destinations and has 6 induction stations with which they can sort over 10,000 parcels per hour. 2 Fully automated top-read scanner stations are seamlessly integrated into the EAE Flow.Control system. Next to that, the system is also equipped with the in-house developed IAS (Item Analysis System). It identifies (very) flat items, detects potential mis-sorts, and provides feedback to how operators induct items onto the sorter. With this information, GLS is able to make its sortation process even more lean.
