The conveyor equipment introduced is a simple sorting facility consisting of a Unicon V drive line, a high-speed transfer machine with a sorting capacity of 1,500 items per hour, and three free roller conveyors for storing the sorted items. Shipping labels are automatically affixed to product cases on the conveyor line, and a barcode reader determines the destination lane. The high-speed transfer machine then sorts the products into the appropriate lane, where they are stored on the three free roller conveyors.

Each storage lane has basket carts for around 20 stores on either side. Two workers are assigned to each lane, and they load products into the appropriate basket cart while checking the shipping labels on the cases on the conveyor. Although there is still the task of searching for basket carts, the number of stores each worker receives is low at around 10, so loading can proceed quickly. There is also no longer any need to attach shipping labels or transport carts to the basket carts, which has also reduced the number of workers required. Furthermore, the system has resolved many of the issues that existed during the manual sorting era, such as improved shipping accuracy due to a reduction in sorting errors and stronger product temperature control.
