Micro-Fulfillment
Tompkins Robotics has developed a unique and effective t-Sort solution for micro-fulfillment that is quickly deployed, greatly lowers labor and cost, increases speed and accuracy, and costs a fraction of the typical ASRS type solution. The entire system fits in existing backroom space with no construction and no expansion costs. t-Sort can fit in a row of pallet existing rack. The system is portable, requires no permits and can be quickly assembled and installed within a week. Our micro-fulfillment solution enhances a site with an existing ASRS system, and it is a better solution than ASRS for a single store. The system is also designed to work seamlessly in conjunction with t-Rail to provide overhead transport of goods to and from the selling floor, eliminating floor congestion, reducing labor further, eliminating human interaction and adding incremental ROI.

Sorts outbound home delivery packages by route or local hub destination for DDU, local carriers, and other delivery methods allowing same day / next-day delivery at a pre-sort final mile introduction cost
Processes room temp, refrigerated, frozen, fresh, all product types – eggs, produce, cases of water, 98% of a grocery store or supercenter
Flexible, modular and portable – add a robot in seconds, sort destinations in hours, move to another site overnight
More cost-effective single store solution than ASRS. Typically 1/10th cost, 1/10th space and 67% labor reduction
