E-commerce fulfillment, retail distribution, and parcel processing facilities rely on their ship sorting system to rapidly sort outgoing product and parcels prior to shipment. As demand has increased, these organizations are under more pressure to ensure order sreach the right destination within the expected delivery timeframe. Highly accurate barcode readers and machine vision systems are playing a larger role in helping organizations improve sorting throughput, decrease product loss, and optimize their operations with process data.

Damage Detection

The 3D-A1000 uses a 3D and 2D camera system
to automatically detect damage to boxes such as
dents, bulges, crushed parts, or open flaps.

Side-by-Side Detection

The 3D-A1000 Item Detection system captures dimensional data, forms a 3D point cloud image, and identifies side-by-side situations to eliminate skewed inventory counts, “lost” items, and double shipments.

2D Item Detection and Sortation

Powered by edge learning technology, the In-Sight 2800
Detector solves difficult 2D item detection and object
sortation applications with simple example-based training
and powerful AI algorithms, including presence/absence, item
sortation and classification, and process issue detection.

Robotic Sorting

Reduce manual interventions and streamline efficiencies by scanning products and packages as they are transferred by a robot.

Categorizing Packages Prior to Shipment

The 3D-A1000 Dimensioning System quickly and
accurately categorizes products to ensure proper
handling, which reduces damage to packages
and keeps the sorter line moving smoothly.

Item Detection

The 3D-A1000 Item Detect System use 3D and 2D data to correctly identify objects amongdirt, dust, and foreign objects on the sorting belt, and provide information and any error codes to keep sorting systems running efficiently.

Ship Sorter Induction

Image-based barcode readers use advanced algorithms
and decoding technology to quickly read codes on
parcels and packages entering the sorting system, adding
traceability and efficiency to the sorting process.

Ship Sorter Scanning

Cognex Modular Vision Tunnels are designed to read damaged codes at extreme perspectives on all sides of the box, even with the high speed and small gapping requirements of today’s ship sorters. This allow safacility to increase throughput, without impacting sort accuracy.
