When store demand does not justify a full case, StrideTM sorts shelf-stable eaches and inner packs directly to store containers. Grocery distribution centers can increase breakpack capacity, reduce manual touches, and serve store-specific demand without disrupting case and pallet flow.
High-density shuttle sortation helps large grocery networks process more store-specific each and inner-pack volume within the existing distribution-center footprint. That makes it easier to centralize or expand slow-moving assortment without adding manual sortation space.
For slow moving assortments, seasonal products, and other shelf-stable items, shipping a full case can create excess inventory at the store. StrideTM sorts allocated eaches and inner packs directly to store containers, reducing walking, staging, and repeated handling at the distribution center.
StrideTM complements high-volume case and pallet operations by automating the store-specific items that are costly to process manually.
Direct-to-container sortation reduces walking, staging, manual sorting, and rehandling.
Add sortation capacity for holiday, promotional, and assortment-driven spikes without redesigning the entire flow.
Eliminating repeated staging and rehandling reduces the labor consumed by each unit shipped.
Configurable destinations help operations serve changing store, promotion, and assortment requirements without rebuilding the sortation process.
Parallel shuttle movement reduces dependence on a single sortation path. System-level buffering and sequencing help keep upstream and downstream processes aligned.
