Sorting system

RFID technology makes it easy to sort materials automatically. The sorting system uses RFID to sort materials into bins or carts. These are then ready for staff to place in on shelves across the various departments or floors.

Sorting can be done based on many criteria. The system can also be installed on multiple floors. Elevators are then used to bring the materials up or down. For example, you can have a book already sorted on the right floor, so you don’t have to climb the stairs with carts or stacks of materials.
