Individual sorting strategies for maximum process control
In automated sawing processes, efficiency does not end with sawing and subsequent handling. It is demonstrated above all in the correct commissioning of the sawn sections. This is where it is decided whether processes continue to run smoothly or whether additional effort is required.
With the KASTOsort sorting options, you can adapt sorting precisely to your requirements. Workpieces are not simply deposited; they are intelligently sorted, grouped and provided according to defined criteria, fully automatically and directly within the material flow.
Various strategies can be combined: from classic commissioning and batch separation through to complex stacking patterns or bundle formation. Individual container concepts and material carriers can also be integrated without difficulty.
The result is structured material flows, clear allocation and optimally prepared downstream processes.
The advantages of the sorting options at a glance
- Flexible sorting strategies depending on the order and material flow
- Automatic commissioning of multiple orders per container
- Clean batch separation for maximum traceability
- Individual stacking patterns and optimised use of space
- Integration of intermediate layers, prisms and KLT systems
- Automatic container management including RFID connection
- Reduction of manual sorting and restacking processes
- Optimum preparation for dispatch, further processing or storage
For which applications and industries are the sorting options suitable?
The KASTOsort - Sorting options are ideal for all applications in which workpieces not only have to be moved, but also provided in a structured and order-related manner. Especially where large quantities, a wide range of order variants and complex material flows are involved, intelligent sorting ensures significantly greater efficiency.
Typical areas of application include automated sawing processes in which different orders are processed in parallel. Here, flexible commissioning makes it possible to handle several orders within one container while maintaining a clear overview. In addition, functions such as batch separation or quantity specifications ensure that defined criteria are reliably met.
KASTOsort also offers a high level of flexibility when it comes to packaging and handling requirements, for example through defined stacking patterns, intermediate layers or special material carriers such as prisms or KLT containers. This means that workpieces are optimally prepared for downstream steps during the process itself.
The solution is used in particular in mechanical and plant engineering, in the steel and metal trade and in metalworking with prefabrication and commissioning. In these industries, structured commissioning is essential for controlling material flows efficiently, avoiding errors and speeding up downstream processes.
Frequently asked questions about KASTOsort Sorting Options
Communication between the saw and the robot enables workpieces to be sorted according to order. Several orders can easily be deposited within one container.
Different batches are kept strictly separate. As soon as a batch is complete, the container is changed automatically, regardless of its fill level.
Yes, various stacking patterns can be selected or specified depending on the material shape and requirements.
Round materials are automatically stacked in a hexagonal structure to enable optimum bundling for transport or further processing.
They ensure stable stacking patterns and protect the material during transport and storage.
Yes, different container types can be used and freely parameterised, including RFID-based identification.
RFID enables contactless identification and allocation of containers and orders, ensuring greater transparency and process reliability.
