Smart Logistics — Automated Parcel Sorting System
Overview
PT Uniair Indotama Cargo improved its parcel sorting operations through Ravelware’s Smart Logistics solution, combining automated barcode identification, conveyor-based sorting, PLC control, and automatic gate routing. The solution reduces manual handling while improving sorting speed, accuracy, and operational visibility. See how barcode scanning, conveyor automation, and PLC-based control work together to identify parcels and automatically route them to the correct expedition gate.
Challenges & Key Issues
Parcel barcode scanning and sorting were previously handled manually, requiring operators to identify each package and determine its expedition category before routing. This process consumed significant time and manpower while increasing the risk of parcels being sent to the wrong expedition. Scanning and sorting data were also not yet integrated automatically, limiting real-time visibility of the overall process.
Identified Operational Pain Points:
- Proses scanning barcode paket masih dilakukan secara manual.
- Proses sorting paket berdasarkan ekspedisi masih dilakukan secara manual.
- Risiko paket salah sortir ke ekspedisi masih tinggi.
- Proses sorting membutuhkan waktu dan manpower yang cukup besar.
- Operator harus melakukan scan dan menentukan kategori/tujuan ekspedisi secara manual.
- Data hasil scanning dan proses sorting belum terintegrasi secara otomatis.
Implemented Solution
Ravelware implemented an Automated Parcel Sorting System that integrates barcode scanning, conveyor automation, PLC-based control, and automatic pusher mechanisms. Each parcel is identified in real time at the conveyor input, after which the system determines the correct expedition destination. The PLC then controls the conveyor and pusher system to automatically direct the parcel into the appropriate gate without manual sorting.
System Capabilities & Modules:
- Automated Barcode Scanning pada conveyor input.
- Real-time Barcode Identification untuk menentukan tujuan paket.
- PLC-Based Sorting Control untuk mengatur proses sorting.
- Automatic Pusher System untuk mengarahkan paket ke gate sesuai ekspedisi.
- Automated Conveyor-to-Gate Sorting tanpa proses handling manual.
- End-to-End Automated Sorting dari input hingga paket masuk ke gate tujuan.
- Real-time Sorting Data untuk monitoring proses dan hasil sorting.
Operational Impact
The solution enables a faster and more consistent sorting process while reducing dependency on manual operators. Automated routing helps minimize sorting errors, improves handling efficiency, and provides real-time visibility of parcel movements and sorting results across the operation.
