SmartSort Steerable Wheel Technology and TrueDrive™ MDR
SmartSort Steerable Wheel Sorter
Precision Automation. Unmatched Flexibility.
SmartSort is your answer to the demands of modern parcel automation. It’s a next-generation sortation platform built for maximum adaptability and performance. SmartSort empowers your facility with rapid deployment, seamless integration, and the ability to handle varied parcel mixes with confidence and precision.
Divert, singulate, and increase throughput. All in one innovative system.
Diverts twice as fast and more reliably than similar systems. Up to 400fpm.
Each module has two to eight rollers with embedded motors. This allows independent control of different table regions.
Able to move bidirectionally – fully reversible.
Tables are configurable to virtually any size.
Delivered as a complete solution, ready to integrate.
SmartSort Advantages
High-Speed Sorting: SmartSort maximizes your parcels per hour, ensuring your operation meets even the most demanding volume targets.
Bidirectional Merge/Divert: Supports both diverting and merging operations, enabling flexible shift reversibility and maximizing asset utilization.
Progressive and Synchronous Diverting: Patented controls efficiently handle various package types while maintaining velocity and performance.
Independent Motor Control: Each roller and swivel motor is individually controlled for precise parcel handling and reduced spacing – enhancing accuracy and improving handling.
Smart Facility Design: Load and unload from the same lane when paired with other Aegis solutions, optimizing space and flow.
Energy Efficient Operation: Operates on 48V DC motors with noise levels under 72 dBA, reducing energy and creating a quieter work environment.
TrueDrive MDR
Power and Flexibility for Conveyance Applications
Motor driven roller (MDR) technology reimagined from the ground up - with exclusive Dynamic Zone Control™ (DZC™). Instead of multi-roller zones connected by failure-prone belts, drive motors are cost-effectively integrated into individual rollers.
This fresh approach to proven MDR technology enables rapid acceleration, tighter accumulation on the fly, and greater energy efficiency. DZC systems also reduce maintenance and improve safety by eliminating O-rings and enabling predictive maintenance capabilities.
Dynamic Zone Control Systems
DZC Systems give you precise control with tighter gaps between parcels, increasing throughput up to 250% while eliminating the need for accumulation conveyors.
DZC Max systems take full advantage of DZC technology by incorporating drive motors into every roller, increasing throughput as much as 250% while minimizing your total cost of ownership (TCO). They're also 15% more efficient than traditional MDR systems—with guaranteed 100% uptime.
DZC Skip systems balance efficiency and economy by alternating motorized and idle rollers. You get 125% higher throughput — plus all the benefits of eliminated O-rings, gearboxes, and pneumatics — and a solution that is more cost effective than a traditional MDR system.
