UniSort® MXT™ Software Module

The new UniSort® MXT™ Software Module from FKI Logistex is a patent-pending sortation subsystem that dramatically increases sorter throughput. UniSort MXT takes advantage of proven FKI Logistex software intelligence to boost existing capacity and avoid the costly expansion of square footage, equipment or personnel.

With UniSort MXT technology, a system can quickly scale to absorb peak product demand on a daily or seasonal basis and ramp up for future growth at minimal cost. The software’s algorithms optimize merging, induction and sortation, enabling rates over 350 cartons per minute.

A PC-based upgrade to new or existing systems, UniSort MXT achieves higher throughputs by maximizing product density without the machine wear caused by increases in sorter speeds. This completely software-based solution extends a sorter’s life, while reducing overall cost, maintaining accuracy, decreasing noise and energy levels, and improving ROI.

UniSort MXT can increase the throughput of competitive sliding shoe sorters, as well as the full line of FKI Logistex UniSort sortation systems. The module is designed for optimal performance in systems using servo-based induction and high-speed merging like the FKI Logistex vhswEDGE™ merge, though UniSort MXT can also be applied to fixed-speed induction systems and other configurations with considerable gains.

With UniSort MXT, operations can maintain current throughput rates with quieter machines, reduce maintenance requirements, or increase system throughput.
