Abstract: A commercial article sorting system is provided. The system comprises a belt conveyor to transfer a plurality of articles of the same kind put in a tray, a sorting rack provided along the belt conveyor and having a plurality of slots, a scanner provided to the sorting rack to read the data necessary for sorting the articles from the tray to the slots, at least one direction indicator each thereof is mounted to approximately center of the one block of the slots to provide a visual direction signal to the hauler, entry indicators each thereof is mounted to each slot to provide a visual location signal to the hauler, and a controller to control the direction indicator and the entry indicators based on the data read from the label.

Abstract: An article sorting system is provided. The system comprises a plurality of inflow lines to convey trays each containing articles to be sorted, a first conveyor to convey the trays introduced from the plurality of inflow lines, a plurality of second conveyors branching off from the first conveyor, a plurality of sorting racks each placed opposite to the second conveyer, each sorting rack having a plurality of slots leading to containers into which articles are placed from the trays according to sorting categories by sorters, a plurality of first delivery conveyors each placed opposite to the sorting rack, each first delivery conveyor conveying the containers pushed thereon from the sorting rack, and a second delivery conveyor to convey the containers from the plurality of first delivery conveyors to a shipment area.

Abstract: An article sorting system is provided. The system comprises a first conveyor; a plurality of sorting lines; a reading device to read the identification information of a tray conveyed by the first conveyor; a memory to store an article information table connecting the identification information of a tray with the information of the articles contained in the tray, and the arrangement pattern of the slots of each of the plurality of sorting line; a sorter control device to determine an appropriate sorting line for a tray and control the sorter to guide the tray to the sorting line, after having referred to the identification information of the tray read by the reading device, and the article information table and the arrangement patterns of slots stored in the memory; and a direction indicating device to provide each article introduced into the sorting rack with an arrow to indicate a direction towards a nominated slot and a number of the nominated slot for the article.

Abstract: A direction indicator placed on one site of a sorting block indicates, for a given good, the direction towards a nominated slot through which the good is to be placed in the block. This arrangement makes it possible for the hauler to immediately put a good into a nominated slot without looking around at sorting blocks at large, which will lead to the improvement of work efficiency. Moreover, because this will moderate the burden imposed on the hauler, the number of wrongly hauled goods would be greatly reduced. If a good is passed through a wrong slot, it is recognized by a sensor and then an alarming means is activated to generate a buzzing sound or a blinking light to alarm. This arrangement will make it possible to greatly reduce the number of wrongly hauled goods.
