How Long Does It Take to Deploy a Sorting System? The Full Timeline

The Short Answer

Deployment depends on equipment and site. Tegene 3D Sorter Pro and Expansion Module take ~7-15 days installation and 3-5 days training; the 3D Sorter NC ~30-45 days installation and 2 hours training. The Beijing cold-chain case was deployed in 7 days.

From Survey to Go-Live

A complete delivery typically includes these stages:

• Site survey: confirm area, height, flow, volume and destinations.
• Solution configuration: decide model, chutes, induction stations and interfaces.
• Installation and commissioning: install, tune scanning/induction and integrate WMS.
• Training and go-live: operator training, then production.

Factors Affecting the Timeline

Equipment complexity (all-in-one takes longer than base), chute and induction counts, site modification, integration depth and on-site coordination all affect delivery. Mapping interfaces and site information early can meaningfully shorten the timeline.
