Krona projects

Express distribution sorting project

A Krona parcel-flow project bringing DWS identification and an automated sorting system together at a distribution centre.

The handling challenge

An express distribution operation needed to connect parcel identification with destination sorting. Manual decisions and disconnected handling steps made the relationship between the parcel record and its route central to the project.

The project arrangement

The Krona project brought a cross-belt sorting arrangement together with DWS equipment. Parcel identification and measurement formed the input to the sorting process, linking the information-capture stage to the physical destination flow.

How the goods move

  1. Parcel identification

    Capture the parcel identity and measurements.

  2. Cross-belt sorting

    Connect parcel information to the routing operation.

  3. Destination flow

    Distribute parcels through the selected output arrangement.

Process schematic. Equipment positions and interfaces are adapted to the site.

Equipment in this solution

What to consider for your site

Specify the parcel mix, peak arrival pattern and number of destinations before selecting the sorter. Include unread labels, full output lanes and communication failure in the planned operating sequence. The sorting mechanism is chosen for the project; a wheel sorter is one alternative, not a substitute assumed from this case.
