At Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS), we strive for efficiency and flexibility in the pallet industry. Our adjustable pallet sorting system, recently implemented at Oostbrugge Pallets, offers an excellent solution for companies working with various types and sizes of pallets.
The Challenge of Variable Pallet Sizes
Oostbrugge Pallets, a key player in the pallet sector, faced the challenge of efficiently handling pallets of different sizes, including standard formats such as Europallets and non-standard formats like CP3, CP4, and CP9. The variability in sizes made manual sorting time-consuming and error-prone. For this reason, they opted for the innovative adjustable pallet sorting system from PSS.
Flexibility and Efficiency in One System
The adjustable pallet sorting system from PSS is designed with flexibility and productivity as core values. Thanks to advanced settings, the machine can easily be adapted to the specific requirements of different pallet sizes. This means Oostbrugge Pallets no longer depends on multiple systems or additional manual steps. By using our sorting system, pallets can be quickly and accurately sorted, contributing to a more efficient workflow.
Technological Advantages
The pallet sorting system is equipped with a SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), which allows users to monitor live data worldwide via the PSS app. This system provides Oostbrugge Pallets with valuable insights into the sorting process, such as the number of pallets processed and the machine’s speed. With this information, they can optimize production and address potential bottlenecks in a timely manner.
Sustainability and Ergonomics
When developing our machines, we place great emphasis on sustainability and ergonomics. The pallet sorting system is designed to minimize the use of forklifts. Compared to manual sorting, 50% fewer forklift movements are required. This not only reduces CO2 emissions but also contributes to a safer and more efficient working environment.
Additionally, automatic sorting allows employees to focus on other tasks within the production process. This makes the work less physically demanding and improves overall job satisfaction.
Modular Design for Future Expansion
The adjustable pallet sorting system is modular in design, meaning it can be easily expanded or adapted to changing business needs. At Oostbrugge Pallets, we delivered a configuration perfectly tailored to their current requirements, but also prepared for future growth.
One example of this modularity is the ability to add a repair line. By directly sorting pallets that require repair and sending them to a repair conveyor, time is saved, and employees can concentrate on specific tasks.
Results at Oostbrugge Pallets
Since the implementation of the adjustable pallet sorting system, Oostbrugge Pallets has seen significant improvements in their sorting process. The ability to automatically sort different pallet sizes has led to higher productivity and fewer errors. Moreover, employees have reported that the ergonomic benefits positively impact their daily work.
