Parcel Sorting & Induction

At distribution centers, feed parcels one by one onto sorters and orient labels for scanning, taking people off the soft and irregular parcels that conventional automation struggles with.

Core functions
  • Pick parcels from a pile and induct them one at a time onto sorters or conveyors
  • Find the barcode, then flip or flatten the parcel so it can be scanned
  • Pairing with AMRs that carry parcels to each destination
Customer value
  • Handle peak-season volume without adding sorting and induction staff
  • Process soft packs, cartons, and bags of different shapes together
  • Data from handled parcels improves the robot's accuracy over time
Check before deploying
  • Target parcels per hour and the speed gap versus people
  • Weight and size limits, and how it connects to the sorter

Selected Robots

Hand-picked for this work, with the reason each one fits. "PoC" marks robots to validate in a limited trial first.

Toll Group deploys 60+ Geek+ sorting robots at its new Baeksa site in Korea, lifting productivity 70%

Challenge

Growing volumes required faster, more efficient sortation.

Deployment

In April 2024, 60+ sorting robots went live at the new Baeksa site, about four football fields in size.

Outcome

Sortation productivity and efficiency up 70%; the site stores up to 300,000 items. Geek+'s first sortation warehouse in Korea.
