AMR sortation robots: flexible sorting on the warehouse floor
Autonomous mobile robot (AMR) sortation is a sorting system based on fleets of cross-belt robots, designed to automate the transport and sortation of parcels directly on the warehouse floor or mezzanine, either as a first step into automation or integrated with existing systems.

How does AMR sortation work?
Robotic AMR sortation for bulky loads: items are measured and scanned at the induction station before being transferred to robots equipped with cross-belt conveyors, which transport and gently discharge them at their assigned destinations, enabling flexible flows adapted to the warehouse layout.
Key features
Modular design: it installs with minimal infrastructure and can be reconfigured, relocated or scaled by adding robots and discharge destinations.
Versatile handling: it processes standard, irregular and fragile parcels and small items thanks to flat dual cross-belts that keep the product stable.
Dynamic "on the fly" charging: it allows continuous operation, optimizes battery life and reduces energy costs.
Multiple loading and unloading points: it creates highly flexible flows adapted to your existing layout.
WMS/ERP integration: traffic management software that optimizes routes and assigns tasks.
Benefits · Impact on your operation
Automation in stages with a low initial investment, maximum layout flexibility, less physical strain on your staff and better ergonomics and productivity.
Ideal applications
E-commerce and parcel operations looking to take their first step into automation, warehouses with changing layouts and the handling of large, bulky or fragile products.
