Sortation Intelligence Layer
Know your sort. Every piece, every lane, every shift.
Sortwyre connects to your WMS and WES to surface real-time PPH, induct rates, and chute utilization — so fulfillment center ops teams can act before throughput drops.
The core problem
Your sorter runs. Your throughput doesn't.
Mid-size FCs run cross-belt, shoe, or sliding-shoe sorters feeding 40–120 chutes. When induction slows, WES queues back up. When chute fill rates drift, recirc climbs. When labels mis-scan, no-reads spike.
The problem isn't the hardware — it's the 30-second lag between what's happening on the sort loop and what ops sees in the WMS.
Platform capabilities
Three layers of sortation intelligence
Purpose-built for mid-size FC ops teams — not a WMS replacement, not a carrier platform.
Induction Balancing
Real-time load distribution across induction lanes. Sortwyre watches pieces-per-hour per lane and flags imbalance before it degrades total sort throughput.
Learn moreChute Utilization
Per-chute fill rate, dwell time, and recirc tracking. Surface underperforming chutes, reduce re-circulation events, and keep sort yield above target.
Learn moreWaveplan Optimization
Plan-vs-actual wave comparison in real time. Detect early when a wave is running behind induct targets and adjust before the next carrier window closes.
Learn moreConnectivity
Connects to your WMS and WES
Sortwyre reads from your existing systems via OPC UA, MQTT, or REST — no forklift of your WES required.

Ops teams running Sortwyre
From the sort floor
We were running 11,200 PPH on a 60-chute cross-belt. Sortwyre surfaced that two induction lanes were feeding below target during the 7 AM surge. We fixed the imbalance in the same shift — throughput went to 13,100.
Chute dwell time was something we tracked quarterly on spreadsheets. Sortwyre made it visible in real time. Our no-read feedback loop cut mis-sorts from 0.8% to 0.3% over 8 weeks.
Run a throughput pilot in your FC
Sortwyre connects to your WMS/WES in under 6 weeks. We work with your existing data streams — no hardware installation, no conveyor downtime. Start with one sort zone.
