Built to rule the bag.
Sortation of bagged items can be a real challenge for fulfillment companies. The SoftSort™ is a high-speed, servo-driven pusher sorter designed specifically for bagged parcels like apparel and soft goods. It integrates easily with your existing bagger outfeed and operates as a standalone, cost-effective drop-in solution.
With sorting speeds up to 50 bags per minute, SoftSort brings precision, reliability, and simplicity to your fulfillment line.
SoftSort™ Features

Intelligent Sort Control
Powerful WCS Sortation Software
In addition to monitoring exceptions, faults and verification in the WCS, StreamTech’s Sortation module allows customers to define their own Sort Codes, and sign them to each lane, using a drag-and-drop configuration. This allows ultimate flexibility to change and re-define the lanes as needed.
Users can also define and save “recipes.” If there are a few different sort lane configurations that are used often – maybe during different times of the year – they can save them and easily switch all lanes at once.
The Sortation software also monitors lane full conditions, allowing either overflow to another lane, or a pause of the sorter altogether.
Integrated Controls Hardware
StreamTech designs, builds and installs the control panel to match up with the WCS software and hardware on your parcel sortation system.
Machine control is provided by an Allen Bradley CompactLogix PLC, which is easily expandable to manage additional automation. Its open architecture means that end users are able to support themselves if desired.

- Open, standard PLC architecture
- All devices IP-addressable for instant world-class support
