In a high-volume distribution environment, speed of package flow moving through the system, as determined by the sortation equipment, is usually focused upon as the criteria for production. In general, the speed at which the sortation equipment is running, needs to be increased in order to increase throughput.

Need for Reduction in Inventory and Handling Processes is Expected to Drive the Market

Smart IT systems have prompted an expansion in responsiveness and allowed retail distribution centers to significantly reduce inventory by receiving and dispatching goods just-in-time. Some retailers are expected to handle about 90% of their goods in this way. Manufacturers of many fast moving consumer goods are opting for sortation systems to handle cartonized products as they come off the production line to reduce handling steps. Sortation systems help in reducing cost per case with faster delivery, reducing the inventory in distribution centers.

Retail Segment to Lead the Global Sortation System Market

The retail businesses have changed their traditional production and distribution systems with final customers ordering in different amounts and through different channels, like e-Commerce. E-commerce has diversified the selling model, and customers are preferring to buy virtually due to the transaction conveniences. Owing to all these trends, companies have begun to adapt sortation systems in their distribution centers (DCs) to satisfy both in-store and virtual consumers in a timely and correct manner. Cross-docking and flow-through handling processes are adopted as well with the use of sortation systems to distribute cases to stores when they arrive at a DC.
