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.
