Reduced energy consumption
March 1st 2010 Automated logistics systems expert, Crisplant, has been awarded a contract to design and install a highspeed automated sorting system based on the 'green' Crisplant LS- 4000CB sorter. The system will be installed in myToys.de's new-build distribution centre, at Langenselbold, Germany.
The automated system will feature the Crisplant LS-4000CB cross-belt sorter, with new motor technology said to reduce energy consumption by 75% compared to equivalent sorters using conventional motors.
This will allow myToys.de to achieve a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
The system will be managed by modules from the Crisplant software suite: a sorter controller, machine controller, and a user interface which allows staff to monitor and manage workflow throughout the automated sort process.
