In recent years, the booming e-commerce industry has driven rising demand for faster, more cost-effective logistics. Traditional manual sorting methods can no longer meet high capacity, efficiency, and space utilisation standards. As a result, more companies are turning to intelligent sorting systems to revolutionise logistics operations.
As a pioneer in smart logistics and intelligent sorting, LOGIANT partnered with China Post to implement an advanced, efficient, and flexible dual-layerdesktop sorting system. Within just ten days, 80 custom designed FlipTop Flying Sorter Robots were deployed, achieving a sorting capacity of 5,400 parcels per hour. This system boosts efficiency by 35 times, offering a comprehensive solution to China Post’s sorting challenges.
Project Challenges
The logistics sorting process often involves handling a wide variety of parcel types, sizes, and packaging materials. Traditional methods, reliant on manual labor or mechanical systems, struggle with efficiency, particularly when dealing with irregularly shaped items. These challenges increase the likelihood of damage and make automation difficult. Additionally, logistics management typically relies on manual analysis, leading to high labor costs, while traditional automation systems fail to meet modern demands for speed and accuracy.
Solution Overview
LOGIANT developed a customized FlipTop Flying Sorter Robot and duallayer desktop sorting system tailored to China Post’s requirements. The system accommodates a broader range of irregularly shaped parcels while ensuring safe handling and preventing package drops.
Spanning an area of 300 square meters, the system features two platforms, each equipped with 40 Flying Sorter Robots, totaling 80 robots, and 130 sorting chutes. Operators place parcels at the input station, where they are scanned automatically. The system matches the parcel information with orders, determines the target chute, and plans the robot’s path for fast and accurate placement.
Project Value
Enhanced Labor Productivity
The highefficiency sorting system significantly reduces manual labor. Tasks previously requiring dozens of workers now require only four, cutting the sorting workforce by over 50% while improving sorting efficiency by 4.5 times.
Optimized Space Utilization
The duallayer desktop design maximizes space efficiency, enabling 24/7 precise operations and delivering a breakthrough in intelligent sorting.
Flexible and Scalable Sorting
The solution’s flexible configuration was customized to fit China Post’s operational needs, optimizing the layout to match different warehouse designs. Its modular design supports business growth and diverse sorting requirements.
Rapid Deployment and Stable Operations
The system was deployed within ten days, with 80 robots seamlessly integrated into the duallayer platform. Operations stabilized within two weeks of launch, reducing installation costs and minimizing disruption to daily workflows.
The system also features traceability for enhanced logistics management, offering improved transparency and operational flexibility to elevate overall management performance.
Conclusion
The successful implementation of ANT Robot’s intelligent sorting solution for China Post marks a significant upgrade in logistics automation, integrating informationdriven and intelligent processes. The FlipTop Flying Sorter Robots deliver highefficiency, lowcost solutions with short deployment times. This partnership showcases a powerful model for accelerating advancements in sorting technology across various applications.
