In logistic systems, a sorter is a system which performs sortation of products (goods, luggage, mail, etc.) according to their destinations.
A common type of sorter is a conveyor - based system. While they may be based on other conveyor systems, usually sorters are unique types of conveyors.
The parcel sorting system allows to identify items on a conveyor system and diver them to specific destinations. Sorters are applied to different applications depending upon the product and the requested rate.
