[Case Study] Further Efficiency Improvement of Order-Specific Sorting through Sorter x Secondary Sorting

Introducing the Linisort S-E for primary sorting and the Shutter Assort System for secondary sorting!

Hamakyo Rex Co., Ltd., headquartered in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, operates the Fukui Center as a base in the Hokuriku region. The company handles clothing mail order and has dramatically improved sorting capacity per batch by combining the Linisort S-E and the Shutter Assort System. Before the implementation, operations were conducted using the island picking method, where picking and shipping were done in units of 12 people (12 orders). However, there were limitations in picking in units of 12 and waiting times during transitions. After the implementation, it became possible to pick orders for 240 people as a single unit, which is 20 times more than before. The abolition of the island picking method reduced waiting times, and the number of shipping transitions was also significantly decreased.
