In the logistics industry, single item separation is a key link. It involves separating different packages from the conveyor belt and further processing according to the designated destination. The traditional sorting process often requires a lot of manual operation and time, which is inefficient and prone to errors. In order to solve this problem, a new technology called "single piece separation system" has emerged.
This single piece separation system consists of a scattering belt conveyor, a separation belt conveyor, and a visual recognition system. Its function is to automatically separate, stretch, and intelligently queue mixed packages before they enter the automated sorting line, allowing chaotic packages to pass through in an orderly manner at designated intervals and enter DWS and other automated sorting equipment in sequence, greatly improving the success rate and accuracy of package sorting.
When the goods pass through the scattering belt conveyor and open the gap, they will enter the separation belt conveyor. At the same time, the visual recognition system will capture the position of the package in real-time and calculate the optimal separation order and path through data algorithm analysis. Finally, the separation belt opportunity separates, pulls, and queues packages.
The dimensions of each module of this single piece separation system can be customized according to customer needs. Its visual recognition system uses a light infrared binocular camera, which has high stability and can resist interference from ambient light. It also adopts high-precision contour recognition algorithms, which can locate packages up to 15mm. The self-developed deep learning algorithm supports separating packages that are left and right, front and back sticky. In addition, this system adopts a modular and stable design, which is very convenient to install and maintain, and has a high return on investment.
This single piece separation system can handle different types of packages such as cardboard boxes, soft bags, snake skin bags, etc. The maximum weight of the goods is 60kg, and the standard three-stage conveying speed mode can be selected (or customized configuration can be made), with a maximum efficiency of 5000 pieces per hour and a separation accuracy of up to 99%.
This system can be perfectly combined with the multi face code reading DWS system and is widely used in various sorting solutions such as automatic sorting, matrix sorting, loading sorting, small package sorting, and large package sorting. Compared to traditional manual operation mode, it can greatly reduce manpower investment, reduce error rate, improve sorting success rate and package processing efficiency.
The emergence of a single piece separation system has brought tremendous changes to the logistics industry. It achieves automatic separation and queuing of packages through the use of advanced visual recognition and robot technology, improving the efficiency and accuracy of logistics. With the continuous development and popularization of this system, we believe that in the near future, we will see more scenarios of "obedient queuing" of packages, completely overturning the traditional logistics methods.
