CHOOSING A SiNGULATiON METHOD OVERVIEW Bulk parcel flow requires singulation (i.e. each parcel is uniformly separated, spaced and aligned) before a downstream automated sorting system. In the post & parcel industry, efficient unloading of bulk parcels (parcels, bags and/or ‘smalls') is critical to achieve required throughputs, service levels and optimize building space. For the warehouse and distribution industry, high volume e-commerce operations with a wide variety of package types (bags and small cartons) handle bulk parcels between the packing and shipping operation. In both industries, operations are tasked with considering the benefits of manually singulating parcels vs using automated singulators, and the impact of each strategy on their bottom line. Additionally, the type of downstream sortation system (loop sorter vs line sorter) directly impacts the type of automated singulator to provide the highest system performance and ROI. CONTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT > Giorgio Cristoforetti - CEO of Mechanica Sistemi. With more than 20 years of experience in design and implementing high performance singulator and sortation systems for Express Couriers/postal and logistic industries. > Hardy Unterberg - Director of Parcel Systems Applications, BEUMER Corporation. Hardy has a broad experience in the parcel business with a background of 35 years in Engineering and Operations for UPS and DHL, Air and Ground, and all product types including parcels, bags and smalls.

The advantage to this approach is that no automated singulation is required for the downstream sorting process. However, this manual singulation method allows a relatively low unload rate of ~ 850-900 pph per operator. Typically with 2 operators per truck, rates of 1,350 to...
Open the catalog to page 2THE OPPORTUNITY With the strong growth of e-commerce, the post and parcel industry is faced with handling a significantly larger volume of smaller cartons and polybag shippers. Since conventional singulators are designed as a ‘push' system and generally handle cartons only, the downstream sortation technology is limited to line sorters. Loop sorters offer significant operational benefits including better handling of poly bags, flexibility in induction locations, flexibility in general arrangement with vertical and horizontal curves, built in recirculation, virtual sortation to...

Through a set of eight conveyors (high friction and low friction) items are progressively released in a single file DETECTION Item characteristics sizing (too thin, too long, too high, too wide) and suspect doubles are detected in this area. curved angler Items are aligned on one side through a set of skewed rollers...
