Outstanding model for success

The innovative pouch sorter SSI Carrier, which is ideal for e-commerce and omni-channel distribution, has been named one of the “Best of 2018” recently.

The patented and highly-dynamic SSI Carrier pouch sorter system from SSI Schaefer has received an accolade from Huber Verlag für Neue Medien (Huber New Media Publishing) — one of the largest providers of direct information services and press services in the major technology sectors.

The SSI Carrier is a modularly designed pocket conveyor used for hanging transport of different items.

The system has now been officially named as one of the “Best of 2018” in the “Intralogistics and Production Logistics” category. SSI Schaefer shared that the crucial criteria when it came to swaying the expert jury were the ecological, technological, economic and social benefits of nominated solutions. This year, the esteemed jury again consisted of professors, scientists, industry representatives, and trade journalists. Together, they evaluated the nominated products and solutions according to a set list of criteria. After looking at the long-term and overall benefits, it was progress — meaning innovativeness, product maturity and a forward-thinking approach — that enabled solutions to qualify for recognition.

The patented SSI Carrier was awarded a place on the “Best of ” list at the 2018 Industry Awards, which supports the notion that SSI Schaefer is one of the top brands worldwide when it comes to providing products, systems and full solutions for internal material flows. The recognition of the SSI Carrier is another chapter in the company’s success story when it comes to its flexible overhead conveying systems, and cements SSI Schaefer’s market position as a genuine model of success, the company said.

“This award is an endorsement of our focus and our long-term investment in developing products and solutions. We developed the SSI Carrier as a direct response to customer demand and this, therefore, puts us in the best position to satisfy the market requirements which are related to omni-channel distribution,” said Michael Mohr, executive vice-president sales, SSI Schaefer. “We are very excited about the award and we see it as more than just a positive response to our innovative pouch sorter.”

Versatile, economical, award-winning 
With a single drive system, the innovative and multifunctional SSI Carrier transports, stows, buffers, distributes, and sorts. The modular pouch sorter system was developed primarily for the parallel processing of multiple distribution channels and to act as a highly-efficient and dynamic returns buffer in e-commerce.

The patented design by SSI Schaefer combines both increased storage density and gentle transportation for a wide variety of products, including shoes, electrical goods, household devices, cosmetics and items of clothing.
