TBWB PTL Sorter
The Smart Budget Solution for Efficient Package Sorting

Overview

If you're looking for a cost-effective, efficient, and easy-to-use sorting system, the PTL Sorter from TBWB is the perfect solution. Combining partially manual and partially automated processes, this system offers an ideal balance of speed, accuracy, and simplicity. The Pick-to-Light (PTL) technology ensures fast and precise sorting, making it easy for employees to sort packages quickly and accurately.
When a package is placed on the conveyor and scanned, the sorter directs it to the correct location, where the Pick-to-Light unit illuminates. This signal tells the employee where to place the package, streamlining the sorting process. The PTL Sorter is ideal for sorting packages based on various criteria, such as postal codes, and is perfect for businesses with tight budgets that still want to optimize their sorting processes.
