BG Pouch System For intralogistic Operations
The BG Pouch Sorter System is a single multi-purpose sortation system for buffering, sorting, sequencing and item returns handling. The pouch system offers a more flexible and highly automated sortation process. The system also enables reverse logistics handling with less manual handling.
MaximiSe Space and MinimiSe Costs with the BG Pouch SORTER System
Every touch of an item incurs costs and to add to the pain, many distribution centres are short of space to handle the increasing number of e-commerce items.
The BG Pouch System can be installed in unused overhead space where single items can be buffered, sorted and sequenced to automate the order handling and returns processes.
With a capacity of over 10,000 items/hour and its vast combination of benefits, CEP and logistics operators can achieve handling with very few manual item touchpoints. The result is a higher throughput and very little use of floor-space.
EXTEND ITEM HANDLING CAPABILITIES
Flexible automation is a common denominator with the BG Pouch System.
The system enables processes such as regular sorting after picking, batch sortation and intermediate storage handling of returned items to be completed with less manual handling.
LESS TOUCH WITH THE BG POUCH SORTER SYSTEM
To ease the handling of items in the returns process, each returned item is placed directly into a pouch rather than into regular storage. This means that the pouch system is used as an intermediate buffer for items which are most likely to be re-sold according to data from the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
Items which are not sold after a few days can be returned easily to shelf storage as part of an automatic housekeeping process which is run during low throughput periods.
In addition, a fulfilment or distribution center can obtain the extra operational advantage of flattening its handling peaks by using the pouch system for predictive picking of items before the days of peak demand.
In this process, items which are pre-picked before a promotion or sale can be buffered individually in pouches inside the system, making the dynamic buffer work as a scalable interim storage.
Features
Simplified process reduces touches per item
A single multi-purpose system for buffering, sorting, sequencing and returns handling
WMS integration optimises supply chain from warehouse to B2C and B2B recipients
7 kg (ca. 15 lbs) pouch capacity handles wide item mix including Garments on Hangers (GOH)
Garments on Hangers (GOH) up to 3.5 kg
Scalable system provides throughout of 10,000 pouches per hour per sortation module.
Improved throughput per station with automatic pouch loading
Gentle product handling with BEUMER Autodrop automatic pouch unloading
Innovative BEUMER Autodrop capability with less
Mechatronics and reduced unloading area footprint
Integrates with the BEUMER Warehouse Control System (WCS)
Pouch sorter technology has many advantages in being able to accommodate the significantly different demands of B2B fulfilment and B2C fulfilment in today’s fashion distribution. Some of the defining features of the BG Pouch System are its batch buffer and matrix sortation which are able to bring together an order and even sequence it during sortation.

Reverse Logistics: Extend Item Handling Capabilities
The BG Pouch System is a single multi-purpose system for buffering, sorting, sequencing and returns handling. The system offers a more flexible automation process which enables reverse item handling to be completed with less manual handling.
To ease the handling of items in the returns process, each returned item is placed directly into a pouch rather than into regular storage. This means that the pouch system is used as an intermediate buffer for items which are most likely to be re-sold according to data from the Warehouse Management System (WMS). Items which are not sold after a few days can be returned easily to shelf storage as part of an automatic housekeeping process which is run during low throughput periods.
AUTODROP TECHNOLOGY
A BREAKTHROUGH IN AUTOMATIC UNLOADING
- Autodrop completes the automation of omnichannel order fulfilment, making it possible to achieve zero touch 100% automation for logistics companies
- Drop lines can be set up with adjustable drop positions to allow desired sequence of prioritisation so that heavy items drop first to avoid damage to more fragile items
- Automatic packing lines use less mechatronics and can significantly reduce the unloading area footprint
- Autodrop reduces the number of touches in omnichannel order fulfilment, as illustrated below
- The BG Pouch System with Autodrop can process 10,000 pieces per line per hour
- Autodrop reduces order lead time for logistics companies by reducing the time at the unloading station
The BG Pouch System enables logistics operators to achieve handling with very few manual item touches, a higher throughput and very little use of floor-space.
