Flexible Automation for Modern Micro-Fulfillment Operations

Micro-fulfillment operations require speed, flexibility, and the ability to scale quickly within compact spaces. As order volumes fluctuate and fulfillment demands evolve, traditional automation systems can be difficult to deploy, expand, or reconfigure efficiently.

Tompkins Robotics delivers modular robotic micro-fulfillment solutions designed to support fast deployment, scalable growth, and flexible operations across both greenfield and brownfield facilities. Our systems help organizations automate fulfillment workflows with minimal infrastructure while maintaining the agility to adapt as business needs change.

How We Automate Micro-Fulfillment

tSort - Red & Grey Logo, Transparent

High-Speed Sorting for Micro-Fulfillment

  • Items or cases of any shape are inducted into tSort through induction stations and automatically scanned upon entry

  • tSort robots route items based on your preset rules to destinations including totes, cartons, mailbags, or gaylords

  • Items can be sorted from any induction station to any destination, removing the need to pre-sort based on order type 

  • Sort up to 50,000 items per hour to 6,000+ destinations within a compact footprint

High-Density Robotic Putwall 

  • Items are sorted into tSort3D robotic putwalls

  • tSort3D seamlessly integrates with tSort and other sortation systems

  • Items are sorted into designated containers within the putwall based on your preset rules

  • Completed containers can be removed individually or entire mobile putwalls can also be moved to packing when full

Flexible Facility-Wide Transport and Sorting

  • Inbound inventory is placed on tSortPost robots from designated areas within your facility and automatically scanned

  • The system handles flats, polybags, mail pieces, totes, and cartons

  • Packages are transported to designated locations across your facility such as gaylords or bins

  • Supports multi-point induction, parallel kit building, and real-time exception detection to reduce rework and improve accuracy 

 

Robotics Inbound Operations
