Peak-season surges
Order volumes can multiply within days, overwhelming manual sortation and pack-out capacity.
Fulfill Faster
E-Commerce Automation
Automation for e-commerce fulfillment — from receiving and storage to picking, sortation and shipping.
Overview
Automation for E-Commerce
Metallum’s e-commerce automation solutions streamline fulfillment across receiving, high-density storage, unit picking, parcel sortation, and shipping. By synchronizing modular conveyor networks, automated singulators, dynamic dimensioning and weighing systems (DWS), and high-speed sortation loops, our integrated systems accelerate order velocity and ensure reliable, peak-season order accuracy from dock to delivery.
Challenges
Common Challenges
Accuracy at speed
Mis-sorts and mis-ships turn into costly returns as parcel counts climb.
Labor availability
Seasonal hiring and training struggle to keep pace with demand.
Same-day cut-offs
Tight delivery promises leave little time between order release and carrier pickup.
Solutions
Suitable Automation Solutions
High-speed loop sortation
Cross-belt sorters route up to 24,000 parcels per hour to shipping chutes with 99.9%+ sort accuracy.
Modular conveyor networks
