Designed and developed for the mid-market, where many parcel companies and e-tailers are looking for solutions capable of sorting 4,000–15,000 items per hour, the range of products available includes Bomb Bay, high-speed tight-turn units, and tilt-tray sorters.

"The rapid expansion of the online retail market has placed great demands on e-fulfilment operations, with many parcel carriers and e-tailers now realising they need to invest in automation to increase levels of efficiency and meet customer expectations,” explains Gordon Smith, CEO, SDI Group and SDI Sortation Solutions.

"SDI Sortation Solutions will make high-speed sortation technology available to those companies – and the integrators that support the market - at a rate of return on investment that offers great value.



"This is UK sortation technology that has been supplied to a great multitude of applications across the globe - over many years of continual investment and development - and it’s now available to the postal sector. We have the product diversity, technology and the support infrastructure in place to offer a highly competitive alternative to the traditional postal systems providers based in continental Europe.”

Designed around modules and built using standard components, SDI Sortation Solution’s versatile range of sorters can easily be configured to the individual needs of an application, aiding flexibility and swift installation. Software systems to support the sorter ranges are also available – developed by SDI Group’s Germany based specialist software company.

Helping to reduce maintenance and minimise downtime, friction drive technology is used extensively across the product portfolio, removing the need for drive belts or specialist drive systems. And should a tray get damaged, an easy-to-change tray design facilitates maintenance operations - maximising up-time.

SDI Sortation Solutions is backed up by SDI Group’s established European network of support and maintenance engineers, providing 24/7 coverage.
