Our Automated Sortation Systems Services

Custom warehouse sortation capabilities that connect robotics, vision, conveyors, and controls into efficient material-flow operations.

Vision-Guided Sortation

Machine vision identifies products, verifies orientation, and guides robotic handling decisions so variable items can be accurately routed with less manual intervention and fewer fixturing requirements.

Robotic Material Handling

Robotic pick-and-place, bin picking, transfer, palletizing, and depalletizing systems move products between sortation zones while supporting defined cycle times, floor-space constraints, and production requirements.

Turnkey System Integration

GLOBAL manages system design, simulation, controls, build, installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing support to deliver a connected sortation solution ready for operational launch.

Built Around Your Flow

Sort Faster With Intelligent Automation

A sortation system does more than move products, it keeps the whole facility flow connected, and GLOBAL Automation Technologies engineers each one around the item mix, routing logic, and required throughput. The work begins with a process study of the items, volumes, and destinations, which guides selection of the induction method and divert mechanism, whether sliding-shoe, cross-belt, tilt-tray, or pusher. Items are inducted, singulated, and identified by scanning or machine vision as they move down the line, and the controls apply routing rules to release each one to the correct lane. Conveyors, diverts, scanning, and safety guarding are integrated to fit the facility layout, and simulation helps resolve issues before deployment. GLOBAL proves the system out at production conditions and supports installation, commissioning, training, and long-term performance.

Meet The GLOBAL Team

Engineers who turn complex automation challenges into working systems.

GLOBAL Automation Technologies was founded in 2009 to solve manufacturing problems through automation, recognizing that manufacturers often need more than a robotic system, they also need experienced people to engineer, launch, and sustain it. GLOBAL built its model around both needs, combining automation solutions, services and technical staffing under one roof. Over 17+ years, its 110+ team members have supported automation projects from early feasibility studies and simulation through installation, commissioning, and ongoing support. In the last five years, GLOBAL has delivered 745+ automation projects. With offices in four countries, project experience in 22 countries, and more than 700 FANUC robots installed, GLOBAL brings a broad applications perspective to every project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What items and parcels can an automated sortation system handle?

Sortation systems can be engineered for cartons, cases, totes, polybags, and mixed parcels, with handling matched to each item's size, weight, and surface. The suitable range depends on how consistently items can be conveyed, scanned, and diverted without jamming or damage. GLOBAL reviews the item and parcel mix, including the hardest-to-handle pieces, and designs the induction, conveyor, and divert equipment around it. Where items vary widely, machine vision can help identify and locate them as they move down the line.

What divert mechanisms are used to route items?

How does scanning and item ID drive routing?

How are items inducted onto the sorter?
