FORTNA OptiSweep brings innovative and flexible robotic technology to the sorter close-out process, replacing manual operations and legacy technologies. Traditionally, high-volume distribution centers use large linear and loop sorters to organize packages into categories, diverting them down appropriate chutes into destination-specific bags. OptiSweep automates this typically labor-intensive process using Geek+ robots to collect orders from sorter divert locations and bring them to specially designed goods-to-person locations to deposit orders for bulk consolidation and outbound processes. Organizations can manage the mobile robots and communicate with the sorter and consolidation stations with FORTNA WCS software to maximize efficiency, balance product flow and orchestrate the workflow. OptiSweep integrates with sorter systems and can match throughput requirements from 4,000 to over 34,000 pieces per hour. It scales for demand fluctuations, enabling operations to maintain longer runtimes without disruption. FORTNA, Booth S603
