Automated Solutions for High-Precision Kitting Operations
Kitting operations demand accuracy, coordination, and speed—whether assembling automotive repair kits with multiple components or building e-commerce fulfillment kits. Every component must be correct, complete, and delivered at the right time.
Manual processes often create bottlenecks when a single missing item delays an entire kit, leading to rework and disruption. Tompkins Robotics solves this with flexible, high-throughput kitting automation that ensures accuracy while keeping components moving efficiently through production and fulfillment.
Point-to-Point Kitting Across Your Facility
-
Kit components are placed onto tSortPost robots, which transport them point-to-point across your facility
-
Items are delivered directly to designated kit staging locations such as bins, totes, or cartons for assembly based on your kit build requirements
-
Completed kit components are continuously moved and staged until all parts are available for final kit completion
High Performance Kit Component Routing
-
Individual kit components enter the tSort system at induction stations and are automatically scanned upon entry for accuracy
-
Items are routed by tSort robots through predefined logic based on your kit configuration rules
-
Robots direct each item to the correct destination chute, bin, container or to tSort3D—our robotic putwall for consolidation
-
tSort supports high-throughput sorting for environments building multiple kit variations within a single system
Robotic Putwall for Kitting
-
Components are routed from tSort or other sorting systems into tSort3D for kit consolidation
-
The robotic crane places each item into designated containers within high-density, multi-level racks
-
Multiple kits can be assembled simultaneously within a single wave for high-volume operations
-
tSort3D verifies kit accuracy by detecting missing, misplaced, or overfilled items before release
-
Individual kit containers or complete putwall units can be transported to packing or assembly areas
Flexible Induction Across the Workflow
Components can be inducted from multiple points in your workflow, eliminating fixed routing and simplifying kit assembly
Automated Kit Component Routing
Items are directed to the correct kit build locations with robotic speed and precision, ensuring accurate and consistent kit creation
Parallel Kit Building at Scale
Multiple kit variations can be assembled simultaneously, increasing throughput without adding complexity
Exception Detection for Kit Accuracy
Missing, misplaced, or incorrect items are identified before kit completion to prevent downstream rework
Grow Automation Seamlessly
Quickly deploy and scale our robotic systems to handle fluctuating volumes and peak periods
Do More With Less Space
Maximize space utilization with high-density, flexible systems that handle more items per square foot
