Case Study: Narrow-belt Sorters Solve Last-mile Sorting at Peak Season

5 The China (Guangzhou) International Logistics Equipment and Technology Exhibition concluded in Guangzhou, gathering the latest automation, smart warehousing and supply chain technologies.

Notably, as automated sorting matures, logistics automation is shifting toward last-mile sorting.，Narrow-belt and linear sorters have become the most sought-after automated sorting equipment for last-mile logistics this year and over the next 2–3 years.

With eight years in automated sorting, Xingcheng Jiyue has deep experience in the R&D, manufacturing and sales of parcel sorting equipment.

Narrow-belt sorter case study

Xingcheng Jiyue recently delivered an automated sorting project for a well-known courier at its Shanghai transfer centre.

Based on the courier's technical requirements and a detailed needs assessment, The company designed a narrow-belt sorter specifically for the transfer centre's last-mile sorting needs.

The narrow-belt sorter in this project addresses mixed large and small parcel sorting at the end of the transfer line; the main line handles 6,000–8,000 large parcels per hour with 8 chutes per side and 99.99% accuracy.

Parcels are discharged at the designated chute, significantly improving overall transfer centre efficiency.

As one of the most popular last-mile sorting machines in recent years, the narrow-belt sorter handles small, medium and large parcels together up to 50 kg, solving the mixed-category, heavy and long-item challenges of last-mile sorting.

Going forward, continued innovation in technology and energy efficiency will keep improving adaptability and broaden adoption.
