As an example, when a Distribution Center needs to expedite the order-fulfillment process from the moment merchandise is input into the building. A series of conveyors, including high-speed sorters and mergers, could move the orders from the different picking areas, to the packing stations, and then to the shipping lanes.

The automatic system could mark a big difference in productivity for the company increasing their capacity to handle more products with higher reliability.

Other examples include those companies with many production lines and a limited number of palletizing stations. Conveyor could move the products coming from different lines, merge all of them in one conveyor and finally in a sorting station with accumulation take away lines that are automatically handled by the palletizing station.

The Pro Sort line of sorters is designed for high speed sorting. Products are transported on flight tubes where at a predetermined location, divert shoes move diagonally across the conveyor to physically push the product onto a take-away line.
