Automated Solutions for High Volume Inbound Operations
When a trailer arrives packed floor to ceiling, teams often unload by hand — throwing cases onto conveyors or building mixed pallets on the dock. Sorting and staging quickly become chaotic, slow, and labor-intensive, especially in last-mile facilities, cross-dock environments, and high parcel or mixed-case operations.
Tompkins Robotics provides modular receiving systems that streamline inbound inventory handling — helping you move, sort, and stage product faster with no fixed infrastructure required.
High Performance Receiving System
-
Cases are inducted into tSort through induction stations and automatically scanned upon entry
-
tSort robots route cases based on your predetermined rules to the correct chute, pallet position, conveyor, etc.
-
Cases can be sorted from any induction point to any destination in the system, removing the need to pre-sort based on destination
-
Sort up to 50,000 items per hour to 6,000+ destinations within a compact footprint
Flexible Facility-Wide Transport and Sorting
-
Inbound inventory is placed on tSortPost robots from designated areas within your facility and automatically scanned
-
Seamlessly 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
Automatically Move Pallets Across Your Facility
-
Pallets are automatically transported by PickPallet robots at whichever locations you designate
-
PickPallet automatically transports pallets to destinations such as as pick faces, storage, or staging zones
-
Supports open, closed, and custom pallets across all major international standards, placing every load with ±10 mm precision for safe, accurate handling
