Abstract: A semi-automated bulk sorting system includes a primary conveyor having a proximal end and a distal end, and a plurality of sorting stations downstream from the primary conveyor and configured to sort the outbound parcels and cartons, where each of the sorting stations has a sorting platform. The system also includes a plurality of infeed chutes coupled between the primary conveyor and the plurality of sorting stations, and a plurality of automated diverter arms configured to automatically divert the outbound parcels and cartons from the primary conveyor down one of the plurality of infeed chutes to a respective sorting platform of the plurality of sorting stations. The sorting platform of each of the sorting stations is configured to cause the outbound parcels and cartons to accumulate on the plurality of infeed chutes.

Abstract: A semi-automated bulk sorting system includes a primary conveyor having a proximate end and a distal end, where the proximate end of the primary conveyor is configured for collecting outbound parcels and cartons that are to be sorted. The system includes a manual sort center coupled downstream from the primary conveyor and configured to partially sort the parcels and cartons. A parcel final sortation zone is coupled downstream from the manual sort center for receiving the partially sorted parcels and is configured to finally sort the parcels for delivery. In addition, the system includes a plurality of carton palletization zones coupled downstream from the manual sort center for receiving the sorted cartons and to palletize the sorted cartons for delivery.
