Pallet sorting line at Foresco Denmark (before STEA)
Foresco, based in Denmark, has become the first customer in the country to use a standard pallet sorting line from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS). The line is equipped with eight stackers and an innovative infeed buffer, with which the hourly sorting time has been optimized to 100%. With this installation, STEA is setting a new standard in pallet handling in Denmark.
Features of the pallet sorting line
1. Feed buffer for maximum efficiency:
STEA is the first customer to use PSS’s infeed buffer. This innovation improves sorting time by 600 seconds, so the maximum sorting time per hour is now 3600 seconds. This ensures optimum capacity utilization and higher sorting speed.
2. Capacity and work distribution:
With only one sorter and one forklift driver, the entire supply and removal of unsorted and sorted pallets is managed. This efficient division of labor minimizes labor costs and increases productivity.
3. Eight stackers:
The line is equipped with eight stackers, which sort pallets according to specifications such as type, quality and size. This enables fast and structured processing of large pallet volumes.
4. SCADA system and reporting:
The integrated SCADA system provides daily detailed CSV reports on the sorting processes. These reports provide STEA with valuable insights into line performance and support optimization of work processes.
Benefits for STEA
1. Higher sorting capacity:
Thanks to the supply buffer and efficient workflow, the full sorting capacity of the line is optimally utilized, resulting in faster pallet processing.
2. Labor savings:
With only two employees managing the process, STEA achieves maximum efficiency with minimal staff input.
3. Detailed insight:
The SCADA system and daily CSV reports give STEA complete control over pallet processing and help make data-driven decisions.
4. First PSS machine in Denmark:
As a pioneer in Denmark, STEA was the first in the country to experience the benefits of PSS’ modular and scalable systems, giving them a competitive advantage.
An innovative solution from Pallet Sorting Systems
