BG Pouch System
Description
2022 NED Innovation Award Finalist
By using overhead space to achieve omnichannel fulfillment and increased operational flexibility, the BG Pouch System delivers less touch, low-cost, multiuse sortation for fulfillment and distribution centers. It can buffer, sort, and sequence single items to automate the order handling and returns processes with a capacity of over 10,000 items/hour per sortation module; it also features a 15 lb. (6.8 kg) pouch capacity. By utilizing Warehouse Management System data, the system can serve as an intermediate buffer for items most likely to be resold and optimize the supply chain from warehouse to B2C and B2B recipients with less manual handling.
