Modern Expandable & Affordable

An Automated Material Handling and Sorting solution eliminates the need for manual handling offering an accurate, efficient and cost-effective approach for faster, easier movement of items throughout your library.

Versatile Modular Sorting System

Sorter-Module

Our sorter’s modular design allows the flow of items to be totally customised to the needs of the library and maximise use of the available space. It starts with a one bin check-in unit and is expandable to a multi-floor system with robotics. 

The look and feel of the sorter is fully customisable allowing the very best experience for patrons when returning items.

Vertical and horizontal conveyors allow you to reimagine item transportation within your library to maximise the efficient processing of returns and the reshelving of items with minimal handling. This can be achieved through a variety of sort destinations including stacking carts, automatic bins, cobot robotic arms and mobile robotic trollies automatically transporting incoming and outgoing tote boxes to any location within the library.
