Robotics | Warehouse automation (Conveyors, Sortations, AS/RS, Picking, Dock)
24 August 2025
A leading FMCG & Grocery company has a challenge:- demand was growing faster than their shipping process could keep up.
🚚 Trucks were waiting too long at the docks.
📦 Workers manually sorted cartons and pushed trolleys to the right vehicle.
⏳ Dispatching even a single wave of orders took hours.
The warehouse was running at full capacity, but speed to shelf was slowing down.
That’s when automation stepped in.
✅ Conveyor sortation systems now automatically direct cartons to the right dock, no manual guesswork.
✅ Automatic truck loading takes it a step further - products roll straight into the vehicle in the right sequence, stable and ready for the road.
The results?
Dispatch times cut dramatically.
Labor effort reduced, safety improved.
Orders hit the retail shelves faster, keeping stores stocked and customers happy.
Today, the warehouse runs like clockwork -- goods flowing in, sorted with precision, and shipped out in record time.

Here are a few technologies transforming the warehouse processes.
🔹 Tilt-tray Sorters: Trays that tilt at just the right moment to drop parcels into their correct chute. Perfect for high-speed, high-volume operations.
🔹 Cross-belt Sorters: Small belts ride on a main track, shifting parcels sideways with pinpoint accuracy. Ideal for handling a mix of shapes and sizes.
🔹 Shoe Sorters: Sliding “shoes” gently guide packages off the main conveyor. Fast, reliable, and kind to fragile items.
🔹 Robotic Arm Sorters: AI-powered and built for complexity. These flexible arms can scan, pick, and place with precision that rivals human dexterity.
Why do I care so much about sortation?
Because I’ve seen firsthand how even a 1% improvement in accuracy can have a ripple effect—less rework, better inventory control, faster deliveries, and a smoother experience for both teams and customers.
In logistics, it’s often the smallest efficiencies that lead to the biggest gains.
