Customers want their orders fast, omnichannel fulfillment is a competitive advantage, managing high return rates is expensive, and labor is hard to come by. These and other realities are all creating new and unique pressures within the order fulfillment environment.

Progardonx Pouch Sorter is a flexible storage system that consists of pouches suspended from rolling adapters running in a track. Each pouch carries a single item, which can be identified by its radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Items of various types can go into the pouches, including folded garments, shoeboxes, accessories, books, and general merchandise.

Items are inducted into the pouch system, which sorts, sequences, and delivers those pouches and hanging items to the packaging station for consolidation and further processing.

Shorter cycle times

Progardonx Software gets orders out quickly and eliminates the need for wave planning and multistage sortation. It enables fast, easy processing of urgent and priority orders without the need for expensive and time-consuming expediting.

Store-friendly fulfillment

Items can be packed and delivered in aisle-friendly sequence or any other arrangement (for example, by size or color) to retail locations, and drives the cost, time, complexity, and mistakes out of the restocking process.

Easy handling of demand variations and volume growth

The modular and flexible design makes it easy to adjust system throughput to actual volume demands and idle unnecessary capacity to save both energy and labor. The system is also scalable, with new modules easily be added to existing systems to accommodate changing business conditions and increased volume.
