Van Rijswijk Transport in Bodegraven invests in a pallet sorting line from PSS
1. Description of the machine
Van Rijswijk Transport in Bodegraven has chosen a standard pallet sorting line from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS) to optimize their internal pallet logistics.
The installation fully automates the sorting process and combines speed, safety, and ergonomics in one modular system.
The line is designed for sorting Euro pallets, industrial pallets, one-way pallets, and pool pallets such as CHEP, LPR, and IPP, offering maximum flexibility within the daily pallet flow.
2. Benefits for operators
During the development of the PSS pallet sorting line, great attention was paid to ergonomics and operator comfort.
The heavy physical work involved in manually inspecting and sorting pallets is fully taken over by the machine.
This reduces physical strain, creates a safer working environment, and ensures a steady and comfortable work pace.
Thanks to the automatic infeed of unsorted pallets to the inspection area and the mechanized discharge and stacking, operators can focus entirely on sorting and quality classification.
3. Benefits for the company
The pallet sorting line at Van Rijswijk Transport is designed to process more pallets with fewer people.
With only one operator and one forklift driver, up to 550 pallets per hour can be sorted.
The automated infeed and central stacking system result in up to 50% fewer forklift movements, making internal logistics safer and more efficient.
This higher level of efficiency leads to lower labor costs and increased reliability in the pallet flow, strengthening Van Rijswijk Transport’s overall logistics operations.
4. Efficiency and monitoring
The sorting line is equipped with the PSS SCADA system, which automatically records all production data.
A daily CSV report is generated containing key information such as:
-
The number of pallets sorted
-
Working hours per employee
-
Total production per shift
Through the PSS App, managers have real-time access to this data, even remotely.
This provides full control over performance and planning and allows for data-driven adjustments whenever needed.
5. Results and summary
The pallet sorting line at Van Rijswijk Transport delivers:
-
Up to 550 pallets per hour with one operator
-
Up to 50% fewer forklift movements
-
Reduced labor costs and increased safety
-
Daily CSV reports via SCADA
-
Real-time insights through the PSS App
-
Modular design for future expansion
With this investment, Van Rijswijk Transport now operates a future-proof solution that ensures higher efficiency, fewer manual actions, and reliable pallet logistics.
