REFERENCE LIBRARY // CASE STUDIES
Every case below is a contract we are authorized to name. Peak throughput, parcel profile, install week, and uptime — written by the engineers who commissioned the system, not by a marketing team. Filter by vertical, download the PDF, and pressure-test the numbers against your own DC.
FILTER // BY OPERATOR TYPE
Four documented operators. Each card states the contract name, the peak throughput as measured on the floor, the parcel profile that drove the system selection, and a one-page PDF written by the commissioning engineer. Pick the profile closest to yours.
Cross-belt sorter and tilt-tray hybrid across two regional fulfillment hubs. Induction redesign brought induction-side jams down by 71% during the November–December 2022 peak. Contract authorized for named reference.
Tilt-tray sorter dedicated to cross-client returns, with SortVisionAI vision-based routing. Throughput held within ±2% of nameplate through BFCM 2023 across four tenant SKU profiles.
Bombay sorter paired with upstream pocket-belt induction. Headcount-neutral scale from 4k to 12k daily orders in one Q4. WCS integration delivered against two named WMS platforms (verified integrations only).
Shoe sorter rated for sub-2°C ambient, with stainless contact surfaces and IP65 controls cabinets. SortVisionAI predictive jam-detection flagged 14 of 17 faults before fault in the first 90 days post-go-live.

FIGURES // SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE IN PRODUCTION
Line-art artifacts drawn from live commissioning packages. Each figure shows the parcel-flow topology as it is wired on the floor, with controls boundary, sort destinations, and monitoring taps labeled. Use them to reverse-engineer a comparable cell for your own DC.
Cross-client 3PL returns. Recirculation loop absorbs peak-rate overflow without operator intervention.
Hybrid grocery topology. WCS cabinet shown with the SortVisionAI monitoring tap feeding live telemetry.
Sub-2°C ambient. Stainless contact surfaces, IP65 controls, and heated scanner enclosures to prevent fogging.
DTC scale-up cell. Pocket-belt induction with scan tunnel, sized for polymailer SKU profile and 42 destinations.
We replaced two legacy sliding-shoe sorters with a Sortons cross-belt array during peak planning. The install landed inside eleven weeks, the SortVisionAI control layer dropped our induction mis-routes to a number we had stopped believing was achievable, and our controllers are not paging out at 02:00 anymore. The procurement conversation went from “why change?” to “when do the next eight go in?”
Trailing-24-month telemetry from 1,140+ systems streaming live through SortVisionAI. These are not single-account anecdotes — they are the median behavior of the deployed fleet.
Procurement-side readers ask this before they ask about throughput. Here is the operational answer, end-to-end.
A Sortons applications engineer spends two to four days on-site measuring parcel mix, induction cadence, and downstream chute geography. The deliverable is a fixed-throughput simulation against your real SKU and order profile — not a brochure curve.
Mechanical, controls, and software are all built under one roof in Atlanta — zero subcontracted commissioning. Median install lead time is 11 weeks, 38% faster than the 18-week industry benchmark, with on-site supervision by Sortons-employed engineers.
Every deployed system reports to the SortVisionAI cloud — 1,140+ sorters under live monitoring. Predictive jam-detection flags an induction fault roughly 14 seconds before it would trip a stop, and routes a service ticket before your shift supervisor notices.
140+ field engineers across North America and EMEA, with a named service lead for every top-100 account. Parts are staged against your throughput criticality, not against a regional average — which is how the fleet holds 99.94% uptime over 24 months.
