In pick-and-pack environments, sorting determines whether packing runs predictably or continuously recovers from errors. As order volumes and SKU counts increase, manual sorting introduces variability. Items are staged, rechecked, and consolidated before packing, creating delays, mis-sorts, and uneven throughput across shifts.
UR cobots physically execute the sorting step—identifying, verifying, and placing items into the correct order containers. MiR AMRs move those containers between pick zones and packing stations based on real-time order demand. Together, they remove manual consolidation and convert sorting into a continuous, controlled flow.
The result is simple: orders are built correctly as they move, not fixed after the fact.
