Just imagine: A sorter system runs all year round, 24 hours a day, without a break. How many kilometers will it cover? Sorter systems are among the most impressive technical systems in modern logistics. At a speed of up to 3 meters per second, they move millions of parcels, letters and pieces of luggage every day. Whether in ultra-modern online retail distribution centers or at hectic airports, they work around the clock, 365 days a year.
Their ability to sort an enormous volume of items precisely and efficiently makes them the indispensable backbone of intralogistics. In one year, a sorter system travels over 94,000 kilometers at a speed of 3 meters per second and round-the-clock operation. That's more than twice the circumference of the earth!
The diversity of sorter technologies
Choosing the right sorter system is crucial to the success of a system. Each of these systems offers specific advantages and is optimized for different logistics requirements.

A sorter system that operates at a speed of 3 meters per second and is in operation 99 percent of the time covers a distance of around 93,661 kilometers per year. This is more than twice the distance around the equator. In other words, you would have to drive at a constant speed of 120 km/h for 32.5 days to cover the same distance. These impressive figures illustrate the high demands placed on the robustness and durability of sorter systems.
Sorter systems are exposed to extreme loads - day after day, without a break. But how do you ensure that these systems require as little maintenance as possible and are extremely durable at the same time? A maintenance-free system reduces downtime and maintenance costs. You don't have to constantly reckon with expensive repairs, but can rely on the systems always being ready for use.
Despite the large number of suppliers and sorter systems, there is one area in which customized solutions still play a decisive role: the right power transmission. Many suppliers offer sorter systems, but rarely are solutions offered that meet the highest requirements - for example through UL certification and customization to specific needs. It is particularly important to differentiate between inductive and conductive energy transmission in order to maximize performance and efficiency.
This is where VAHLE comes in: With reliable, durable and low-maintenance energy transmission technology, we ensure that sorter systems not only work efficiently and reliably, but can also cope with the most extreme requirements. Particularly in the age of growing e-commerce, where sorter systems are becoming ever more powerful, tailor-made solutions are required that guarantee maximum efficiency with minimum CO₂ emissions.
