BG Pouch System For intralogistic Operations
The BG Pouch Sorter System is a single multi-purpose sortation system for order fulfillment and item returns handling. The pouch system offers a more flexible and highly automated sortation process. The system also enables reverse logistics handling with less manual handling.
MaximiSe Space and MinimiSe Costs with the BG Pouch SORTER System
Every touch of an item incurs costs and to add to the pain, many distribution centres are short of space to handle the increasing number of e-commerce items.
The BG Pouch System can be installed in unused overhead space where single items can be buffered, sorted and sequenced to automate the order handling and returns processes.
With a system throughput of 10,000 items/hour and its vast combination of benefits, CEP and logistics operators can achieve handling with very few manual item touchpoints. The result is a higher throughput and very little use of floor-space.
EXTEND ITEM HANDLING CAPABILITIES
Flexible automation is a common denominator with the BG Pouch System.
The system enables processes such as regular sorting after picking, batch sortation and intermediate storage handling of returned items to be completed with less manual handling.
LESS TOUCH WITH THE BG POUCH SORTER SYSTEM
To ease the handling of items in the returns process, each returned item is placed directly into a pouch rather than into regular storage. This means that the pouch system is used as an intermediate buffer for items which are most likely to be re-sold according to data from the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
Items which are not sold after a few days can be returned easily to shelf storage as part of an automatic housekeeping process which is run during low throughput periods.
In addition, a fulfilment or distribution center can obtain the extra operational advantage of flattening its handling peaks by using the pouch system for predictive picking of items before the days of peak demand.
In this process, items which are pre-picked before a promotion or sale can be buffered individually in pouches inside the system, making the dynamic buffer work as a scalable interim storage.

Pouch sorter technology has many advantages in being able to accommodate the significantly different demands of B2B fulfilment and B2C fulfilment in today’s fashion distribution. Some of the defining features of the BG Pouch System are its batch buffer and matrix sortation which are able to bring together an order and even sequence it during sortation.

Reverse Logistics: Extend Item Handling Capabilities

AUTODROP TECHNOLOGY
A BREAKTHROUGH IN AUTOMATIC UNLOADING
- Autodrop introduces af innovative opening mechanism. Robust and simple with high availability
- Significant reduction of the unloading area
- Higher level of automation with less manual touches
- Reduced order lead time due to less transport time to unloading station
- Gentle handling due to short distance between drop point and chute
- Multiple drop point positions in one drop line which reduces footprint and enhances flexibility
The BG Pouch System enables logistics operators to achieve handling with very few manual item touches, a higher throughput and very little use of floor-space.
