5 Market Trends Driving Sortation Technology
By Accu-Sort Systems, Inc.
In the race to deliver faster, more accurate sortation, certain trends have emerged. High-end bar-code scanning technology has begun to migrate down market. Users are demanding easier to install, use and maintain systems. Bar-code reading cameras are replacing lasers as the readers of choice, just as fully integrated camera-based systems are being sought after for their higher reliability.
Advanced bar code scanner systems are now emerging that address these industry trends. The installation of a six-sided tunnel – including complete commissioning – can now be counted in hours, not days. The bar on reliability has been raised to an unprecedented 75,000 hours MTBF. When failure does occur, users should expect to pick up a standard screwdriver, and be able to complete any necessary repairs within minutes. By reducing system complexity and lowering the cost of installation and ownership, these systems are well positioned to migrate from high-end applications to the broader market.
