Selection and consolidation in an expedition zone

In selection process of goods on each box the unique label with the barcode and information on the consignee is glued (a system calculates the necessary number of labels in advance and prints them for the selector).

From different zones of selection the goods are consolidated in an expedition zone.

In a zone of an expedition preliminary sorting of orders according to directions/types of clients then, sampling inspection of orders/boxes is possible is made.

For certain order types, at receipt from ERP of data on routing, consolidation of boxes of orders along routes is executed. Thus, preparation for loading is performed.
