The Short Answer

The Fontana project uses a 96-chute, two-induction 3D Sorter M with 99.99% accuracy. Overseas projects require early agreement on equipment, interfaces, site conditions and service scope. Support includes 24/7 remote diagnostics and original spare parts; on-site and local support follow project needs and service agreements.

02

Three Things Overseas Deployment Must Solve

Compared with domestic warehouses, overseas warehouses need more attention to:

  • Maintenance guidance, 24/7 remote diagnostics, original spare parts and replacement guidance. On-site and local support are arranged according to project needs and service agreements.
  • Fast deployment: shorten cross-border project timelines to reach capacity sooner.
  • Capacity and flexibility: size configurations around project average and peak volumes and multi-channel destinations. The 80,000–100,000 daily items cited in the cross-border case describe that specific project.

03

A Cross-Border Fulfillment Path

Referencing Tegene overseas projects, common steps are:

  • Assess warehouse flow, volume, destinations and target market to size the equipment.
  • Choose a 3D Sorter / high-speed configuration and customize chutes by destination.
  • Integrate with WMS and local workflows, then complete deployment and training.
  • Maintenance guidance, 24/7 remote diagnostics, original spare parts and replacement guidance. On-site and local support are arranged according to project needs and service agreements.

Do Tegene sorting systems support overseas warehouses?

The Fontana project uses a 96-chute, two-induction 3D Sorter M with 99.99% accuracy. Overseas projects require early agreement on equipment, interfaces, site conditions and service scope. Support includes 24/7 remote diagnostics and original spare parts; on-site and local support follow project needs and service agreements.

How long until sorting automation pays back in an overseas warehouse?

It depends on volume, labor cost and mis-sort losses. In the Tegene cross-border e-commerce case, payback was within 2 years and can be modeled on site data.
