Logistics sorting center conveying and sorting system: the core driving force of modern logistics
Release Time : 2025-06-09
At the moment when e-commerce is booming and commodity circulation is becoming more and more frequent, the logistics sorting center conveying and sorting system has become an indispensable core component of the modern logistics system. It undertakes the important task of classifying random, different categories and different destinations of goods as required, and plays a vital role in improving logistics efficiency, reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction.
System Overview
The logistics sorting center conveying and sorting system is a material handling system that aims to efficiently and accurately classify and transport various items to designated locations. With the improvement of social productivity and the increasing variety of commodities, traditional sorting methods have been unable to meet the needs of modern logistics, and sorting operations have gradually become time-consuming, labor-intensive, large-scale, high-error rate and complex management links. Therefore, the logistics automated conveying and sorting system came into being and is widely used in post and telecommunications, aviation, food, medicine and other industries, becoming an important support for circulation centers and distribution centers.
System composition and working principle
A complete logistics sorting center conveying and sorting system usually consists of four main parts: input area, scanning area, sorting area and exit area. In the input area, the goods are fed into the system through the conveyor; after entering the scanning area, automatic equipment such as scanners or robots will identify the barcode, label or QR code information on the package, and record and store it in real time; then, the computer control center will classify and sort the goods according to this information, and form data instructions to transmit to the sorting operation machinery; after the goods enter the sorting area through the conveyor belt, the system will further classify the goods through intelligent algorithms and distribute them to the corresponding shipping ports. During the whole process, multiple scanners, cameras, sensors and other equipment monitor the goods in real time to ensure that the goods can be delivered to the corresponding outlets accurately and quickly.
System Types and Features
Depending on the degree of automation, the conveying and sorting system of the logistics sorting center can be divided into two categories: automated sorting and conveying system and semi-automated sorting and conveying system. The automated sorting and conveying system can automatically complete the classification and picking of goods according to the sorting instructions of the computer control system, and has the characteristics of high efficiency, accuracy and unmanned operation. The semi-automatic sorting system is a sorting and conveying system that organically combines man and machine, usually called a computer-assisted picking system. It uses an advanced computer management information system to inform the picking operator of the type, quantity, number of layers and other information of the goods to be picked in a certain form, and the picking operator completes the picking operation according to the picking instruction information.
In actual applications, the conveying and sorting system of the logistics sorting center has also derived a variety of technical paths and equipment types, such as chain sorting machines, steel belt sorting machines, tape sorting machines, roller sorting machines, hanging sorting machines, cross-belt sorting machines, etc. Each device has its unique advantages and applicable scenarios. For example, the cross-belt sorting machine has become the best choice for solving the sorting problems of domestic logistics sorting centers with its high sorting efficiency, stability and sorting accuracy; while the slider sorting machine has been widely used in the express delivery industry with its wide applicability to the shape and size of goods and low failure rate.
System advantages and application value
The application of the conveying and sorting system of the logistics sorting center brings significant advantages and value. First of all, it can greatly improve transportation efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve work efficiency. The automated sorting system can be continuously sorted without being restricted by time, human physical strength and other conditions. It can usually sort thousands to tens of thousands of goods per hour, which is incomparable to the manual sorting system. Secondly, it can improve the accuracy of quality control and reduce the error rate. The sorting error rate of the automatic sorting system mainly depends on the accuracy of the input sorting information. The use of barcode scanning input and other methods can ensure a very high sorting accuracy. In addition, the transportation and sorting system of the logistics sorting center can also reduce logistics costs, improve logistics efficiency, and bring considerable economic benefits to the enterprise.
In actual applications, the transportation and sorting system of the logistics sorting center has achieved remarkable results. For example, the fully automatic intelligent sorting line put into use by the Caiyuanba Joint Sorting Center of Zhongtong Express in Yuzhong District can handle more than 80,000 parcels per day, and the sorting efficiency has increased by about 60%. The usual two-hour manual sorting time is now shortened to 40 minutes, greatly reducing the manual operation cost.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the rapid development of the logistics industry, the conveying and sorting system of the logistics sorting center will develop in a more intelligent, efficient and green direction. On the one hand, the system will further integrate advanced sensors, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies to achieve more accurate and efficient sorting operations; on the other hand, the system will pay more attention to energy conservation and emission reduction and environmental protection performance, adopt new energy-saving technologies and materials, reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, and provide a greener solution for the logistics industry.
As a core component of the modern logistics system, the conveying and sorting system of the logistics sorting center is playing an increasingly important role. In the future, with the continuous innovation of technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, the conveying and sorting system of the logistics sorting center will bring broader development prospects and unlimited possibilities to the logistics industry.
