Sorting is an important link in logistics transportation.With the upgrading of consumption and the development of new retail,the demand for logistics distribution presents a trend of small batch and multiple varieties,and the types and quantities of distributed commodities increase sharply,which makes people have higher requirements on the efficiency,quality and flexibility of sorting.With the development of science and technology,automatic sorting technology is also developing towards intelligent and humanized direction.

　　The past and present of automatic sorting equipment

　　1.Traditional sorting is mainly manual sorting,supplemented by automatic sorting

　　The initial sorting was based entirely on manual work,which was performed by manually searching and moving goods.In this mode of operation,the production,search and manual handling of paper materials waste huge human and material resources,with low operational efficiency,which obviously cannot meet the high requirements for speed and accuracy of modern logistics distribution.

　　2.Scientific and technological development promotes the high efficiency of automatic sorting equipment

　　At present,in the operation process of mainstream automatic sorting equipment on the market,some links still need the participation of human hands,but the intensity of operation is getting smaller and smaller,and the sorting operation is completely completed by the machine.Mechanization,automation and intellectualization are the main features of modern sorting system.Now,there are various types of automatic sorting equipment,and the sorting efficiency has reached a high level of efficiency,speed,stability and high quality,which is also the result of technology promoting the development of equipment.

　　Ii.Future development trend of automatic sorting equipment

　　1.Combination of automatic sorting system and intelligent big data

　　In the future,the combination of automatic sorting equipment,data acquisition equipment and intelligent sorting robot can realize the work of weighing packages,fast sorting after reading codes and interactive information recording.The sorting system can greatly reduce the manual requirements in the sorting process,improve the sorting efficiency and automation,and improve the sorting accuracy.With the increasing perfection of big data algorithms,the gradual standardization of express mail information and the integration of intelligent control system,the sorting system will become a key link in the transformation of logistics industry from labor-intensive industry to intelligent industry.

　　Artificial intelligence will become a new pillar of logistics

　　Express automatic sorting equipment leads the traditional logistics industry into the stage of intelligent development.High-performance sorting robot can be applied to sorting tasks in different scenarios,which is favored by express enterprises and becomes a new highlight in the development of logistics technology.With the increasing demand of logistics service,the efficiency of automatic sorting will be better and better,and the sorting technology will be more intelligent and more humane.
