Brand Cross-border E-commerce Pick-and-sort Warehouse

Project Background

A well-known brand cross-border e-commerce warehouse focuses on full-category product storage and distribution, operating stably since October 2024 with a pick-and-sort workflow.

Main Pain Points

Before automation, the project faced these operational pressures.

• The cross-border e-commerce platform handled many SKUs, including many small and cylindrical items
• Manual picking errors created customer complaints and affected the brand service experience
• The original cross-belt sorter required paper boxes for small-item sorting and box recycling consumed significant labor

Solution Configuration

Tegene configured the solution around site flow, parcel profile and throughput goals.

• Customized a four-layer 3D Sorter with 360 chutes and six induction stations
• Configured equipment around a pick-and-sort workflow
• Used stable conveying and chute delivery to reduce irregular-item dropping problems

Project Result

A customized four-layer 3D Sorter with 360 chutes and six induction stations stabilizes delivery for small, cylindrical and irregular items.

• The project has operated stably since entering the site in October 2024
• Supports full-category cross-border e-commerce warehousing and distribution
• Reduces paper-box circulation and manual handling pressure for small, cylindrical and irregular items

Answer Summary

A four-layer 3D Sorter with 360 chutes and six induction stations supports pick-and-sort workflows for full-category, small, cylindrical and irregular items.
