The new cv.Crossdock from cellumation GmbH, Bremen, automatically sorts objects from any number of inputs to any number of outputs in parallel. The high-precision sorting system enables users to create new logistics layouts and increase throughput. It will be presented to a large specialist audience for the first time in Stuttgart.
The solution is already in use at shipping logistics company DHL and flower wholesaler Verdnatura: a 3D camera is used to identify incoming objects in the system, which are then transported to the designated exit. Unlike conventional systems, this is not done one after the other in a row, but in parallel. Objects rotate and move past each other without colliding. The number of inputs and outputs is variable, and inputs can be turned into outputs by the user and vice versa. In contrast, standard systems on the market only have one input, which means that objects have to be transported one after the other in single file. The cv.Crossdock solves this bottleneck: Thanks to parallel transport, users can transport their Significantly increase throughput, sometimes even double, as at DHL in Greven. Equally advantageous is the significantly reduced throughput time of individual items in the sorter.
The flexibility of the cv.Crossdock is particularly useful in retrofits. Depending on requirements, the system can be used to either Automate existing nodes or even combine several hubs for a more holistic approach. Complete CEP distribution centres can thus be automated with minimal intervention and space can also be saved. Thanks to its modular design, the celluveyor can also be adapted in size to the respective conditions and can replace individual parts of the existing conveyor technology without changing the entire layout.
