…that its end-to-end fulfillment capabilities now include goods-to-person inventory delivery, pick-and-place induction, the t-Sort robotic sortation, automated packaging, and the new xChange system. The t-Sort materials handling system consists of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that sort a wide range of items and parcels to consolidation points. Typically, a unit-sorter system requires a human associate to manually sort items from an accumulation chute to unique order containers and place the containers onto a takeaway conveyor. By contrast, xChange allows most orders to be sorted directly into an order container, and the robotic sortation system automatically removes and replaces the container. Sortation…
